The United Nations cautions that the Sustainable Development Goals may not be met by 2030, as COVID-19, the financial and energy crises continue to take a toll. Developing nations are grappling with many challenges, including sluggish economic growth, surging inflation, widespread supply chain disruptions, mounting debt, and declining job prospects. Governments, policymakers, and businesses need to develop specific strategies to address these issues.

1. Introduction

To address sustainable development priorities, 193 nations met and signed on to the SDGs at the United Nations in New York in September 2015 [1]. These goals are established by a global partnership of governments, civil society, the private sector, and others to drive the world’s transition toward the goals’ achievements [2]. The plan for Sustainable Development includes 17 goals and 169 targets which set out a plan for all nations’ sustainable development to achieve by 2030, as seen in Table 1. These 17 UN SDGs reflect the “state of the art” thinking of governments worldwide [3].
Vietnam joined the United Nations on 20 September 1977 to receive support for war reconstruction and humanitarian assistance [4]. In May 2017, Vietnam released its National Action Plan (NAP) to show the effort of the Government to implement the Vietnam SDGs (VN SDGs). It was promulgated as per Decision 633/QD-TTg dated 10 May 2017 of the Prime Minister, in which the global goals of Vietnam towards 2030 were set, including 115 specific targets, as presented in Table 2 [5]. For example, the following three extracts illustrate companies’ initiatives to achieve SDGs:

FPT Corporation (FPT) provided a general statement regarding SDGs awareness in their recent Annual Reports:
“The Sustainable Development Goals call for global actions towards a sustainable future for all countries by 2030. As a leading technology corporation in Vietnam, FPT is ready to play its role in all 17 of these millennium goals.”
[6]
While TNG Investment and Trading JSC (TNG) stated that:
“Aiming at sustainable development on all of the economic, social, and environmental aspects, TNG has developed and obtained some achievements in 2021, associated with the specific objectives of TNG as well as 17 UN sustainable development goals for the period of 2015–2030.”
[7]
Similarly, Viet Nam Dairy Products Joint Stock Company (VNM) highlighted that:
“Achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related to poverty, climate change, and food and nutritional security is a major challenge, given the significant impacts of climate change on all aspects of life. From now to 2030, there are only 12 years left to speed up. This requires urgent actions by countries along with cooperative partnerships between governments and stakeholders at all levels.”
[8]
These quotes indicated that Vietnam companies had attempted to adopt and follow the 17 UN SDGs. However, it is not easy to incorporate the business model with SDGs, especially for companies in developing countries [9]. Besides, Pizzi et al. [10] and Silva [11] pinpointed that companies have struggled to reconcile their financial performance with Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices, including SDG disclosures. That is why although SDGs are in their infant stages of implementation, there is an increasing number of studies examining different perspectives of SDGs toward sustainable corporate development to interpret the role of SDGs in sustainability reporting [12].Nevertheless, several studies indicated that the relationship between SDGs and corporate reporting has barely been examined [13][14][15].

2. Status Quo of Adopting 17 UN SDGs in Vietnam

2.1. Adoption and Achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by Vietnam

The Vietnamese Prime Minister’s office approved the National Actional Plan to implement the Global Agenda 2030 for sustainable development (SD). The Plan was categorised into six intervention dimensions [16], including:
  • Guiding the development of legal frameworks and policies on sustainable consumption and production.
  • Promoting sustainable production.
  • Greening the supply system.
  • Promoting the sustainable export market.
  • Changing consumption practices and supporting sustainable lifestyles.
  • Advancing 3R (reduce, reuse, recycle) practices.
Table 2 proves that the Vietnamese National Action Plan (NAP) has been implemented in the correct direction. Regarding the global level, according to the Sustainable Development Report 2015, Vietnam has not been engaged in SDGs, except for some Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries, such as Finland, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. By 2016, Vietnam started to commit to the 17 UN SDGs; however, the ranking was much below the average, at the 88th. Since 2017, the ranking of Vietnam on the index has considerably improved, thanks to the implementation of NAP. For example, Vietnam was one of 163 countries assessed in the 2022 SDG Index. Vietnam was ranked in 55th place with an overall index score of 72.8 [17], the same score as in 2022 (as presented in Table 3). Yet, its ranking was the 51st, which suggests that the average score among all nations has increased. Since 2015, East and South Asia have progressed more on the SDGs than any other region adopting sustainable goals. Among Southeast Asia, Vietnam has been ranked the 2nd country with the highest score on the SDG Index, just below Thailand for both years 2021 and 2022.
Table 3. Vietnam’s Score on the SDG Index and Dashboard.
Year Score Ranking
2016 57.6 88
2017 67.9 68
2018 69.7 57
2019 71.1 54
2020 73.8 49
2021 72.8 51
2022 72.8 55
Besides Vietnam’s National Action Plan on Sustainable Consumption and Production (2021–2030), the Vietnamese Government has implemented several activities, such as various conferences, to ensure the country is on the right track for SDGs implementation. For example, the Conference “National Assembly of Vietnam and the Sustainable Development Goals” was organized by the National Assembly of Vietnam, the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), and the United Nations in Vietnam in December 2018. The conference covered different SDG topics (e.g., gender equality, decent work and economic growth, peace, and justice) [18].
Although the Vietnamese Government has actively promoted the SDGs by developing a legal framework [19], there are limited tools to assess the adoption of SDGs at the micro-level, such as the corporate level. It is challenging to examine the process of adopting the SDGs for a particular firm operating across the sectors, even for listed firms on the stock exchange.

2.2. Current Status of SDG Disclosures

Firstly, Table 4 records the descriptive statistical results of the adoption of the 17 UN SDGs of the selected sample. It suggests a notable difference in implementing SDGs among Vietnamese firms. For example, SDG1—Poverty and SDG8—Economy have been received great attention from Vietnamese firms (with a mean of 0.69 and 1.12, respectively). Therefore, it can be argued that firms operating in developing countries intend to incorporate the goal of solving poverty and contributing to economic growth rather than making a significant effort to focus on various aspects of SDGs, like climate change. Since the transition to a low-carbon economy is already underway [20]; thus, finding outlines that there is a need for companies in the developing world to act seriously on fighting climate change.

Table 5 reports the results of the mapping between selected firms and their engagement with the 17 UN SDGs and the descriptive statistics of disclosing SDGs from 2015 to 2021. Additionally, Table 5 presents the ranking of 100 firms according to the number of disclosing the 17 UN SDGs in their reports. For example, the 17 UN SDGs-related information mentioned in corporate reporting ranges from 0 (e.g., QCG; CTX; NDN; S99; POM; TKU; KLF and PVI) to 22 times (e.g., VIC), meaning that firms are inconsistent in following the SDG Disclosures. In other words, some firms have shown a “real” effort more than others, and even though some firms lack efforts in adopting the SDGs. Therefore, this highlights that firms have different perspectives to adopt SDGs.
