Abstract

Vietnam's economy is transforming impressively, becoming a preferred destination for manufacturing. Utilizing the metafrontier disaggregate efficiency analysis method, this study evaluates 114 major Vietnamese industrial enterprises from 2018 to 2022, focusing on sustainable resource management practices. In general, the heavy industry performs better than the light industry with respect to both water and electricity meta-technical efficiencies. The electricity meta-technical efficiency of the heavy industry keeps improving in the data period. Encouraging employee ideas and initiatives through incentives fosters resource efficiency improvements. This study concludes with practical implications derived from successful environmental responsibility-driven strategies implemented by benchmark companies, whose efforts integrate and support the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and suggestions for future research in this area.

导航绿色之路：越南企业在环境可持续性中的水电效率的前沿分析

越南的经济正在发生令人印象深刻的转变，成为制造业的首选目的地。利用元前沿分解效率分析方法，本研究对2018 - 2022年越南114家主要工业企业进行了评估，重点关注可持续资源管理实践。一般来说，重工业在水和电的元技术效率方面比轻工业表现得更好。数据期内，重工业电力元技术效率不断提高。通过激励措施鼓励员工的想法和主动性，促进资源效率的提高。本研究总结了标杆企业成功实施环境责任驱动战略的实践意义，这些企业的努力整合并支持了联合国可持续发展目标（sdg），并对该领域的未来研究提出了建议。
