  "account": "Go Together, an SCG initiative aimed at helping small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) put their green transformation ambitions into action, recently launched a tour visiting PRIME Group's facilities. This program connects SMEs with experts and reputable organizations to share practical ESG solutions and foster collaboration. Vietnam aims to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, and businesses across sectors face pressure to improve sustainability performance and meet evolving environmental standards. While green transformation offers opportunities for SMEs to enhance competitiveness, access new markets, and strengthen supply chains, many struggle to translate these ambitions into tangible actions due to investment constraints, implementation challenges, and resource limitations.\n\nThe SCG tour provides participating SMEs with first-hand insights into PRIME Group's green manufacturing, green products, and green living practices. Through visiting PRIME's factories, SMEs can learn about reducing CO₂ emissions, improving energy and resource efficiency, optimizing operations with IoT technology, and implementing wastewater recycling systems. By exploring these real-world examples, SMEs can identify solutions tailored to their unique needs and resources, enabling them to turn ESG goals into actionable strategies that deliver environmental and business value.\n\nBeyond providing practical knowledge, the Go Together tour also fosters connections among participating businesses, experts, and industry leaders. Through panel discussions and networking opportunities, SMEs can learn from more experienced companies and explore collaboration possibilities in areas such as green transformation, innovation, and supply chain development. SCG's long-term commitment to Vietnam's green transformation journey is evident in its $7 billion investment over the past three decades and the company's call for a new growth model that advances carbon neutrality through competitiveness, energy security, and innovation.",
