From Mindset to Action for Green Export – Part 4: Start with Data: Simple Tools to Unlock ESG & VSS

In the practical implementation of GEVA, we found that the biggest bottleneck does not lie in “which standard to choose,” but in foundational data capability: land plot location, cultivation logbooks, input materials, post-harvest segregation and traceability, test results (MRL/microbiology), and governance evidence.
Without these very basic elements, any VSS (Voluntary Sustainability Standards) or technical requirements (EU/EUDR, MRL) become burdensome and costly.

In fact, the EUDR requires traceability down to the plot level with geographic coordinates: “The Regulation requires that Operators collect and provide… geographic coordinates of the plots of land…” (excerpt). This is a clear reminder: before thinking about certification, design a small, solid data system first.

At the same time, the EU’s MRL (Maximum Residue Limit) barrier remains: “A general default MRL of 0.01 mg/kg applies where a pesticide is not specifically mentioned.” (excerpt). In other words, if you can’t manage field logs and dosage records, you risk failure from the start.

“Must-have” and “should-have” data to join the supply chain

Before investing in expensive software, enterprises or cooperatives should first agree on a minimum dataset of six groups, stored in simple formats (Sheets/Excel, photos–videos with timestamps/geotags):

  • Location & production timeline: plot point or polygon (coordinates), crop/season, harvest date. EUDR requires plot-level data and may require polygons for lots >4 ha (Green Forum).
  • Cultivation log & inputs: date–location–dosage of fertilizers/pesticides; invoices for inputs.
  • Post-harvest & transport: sanitation, drying, packaging, shipping (with time markers).
  • Segregation & lot codes: separate labels/lots, separate temporary storage, handover logs.
  • Testing: MRL/microbiology/heavy metals for representative lots; according to target market criteria (Food Safety).
  • Social & governance evidence: PPE usage, labor contracts, group meetings, training sessions.

Principle: Start small but accurate (a 5–10% “micro-lot”) to capture real data, learn quickly, and then scale up.

Choosing tools: start simple (Sheets/Excel) before upgrading

The best starting point is Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel, as they’re familiar, low-cost (even free), and sufficient for the six minimum data groups.

  • Real-time collaboration: Google states: “Up to 100 people… work on a Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides file at the same time.” (excerpt) — ideal for production, procurement, and QA teams to update one shared log.
  • Excel co-authoring: Microsoft states: “You and your colleagues can open and work on the same Excel workbook. This is called co-authoring.” (excerpt). Upload to OneDrive/SharePoint for near real-time edits.

Cost & basic setup (minimal):

  • Google Sheets: software cost ≈ 0 (free) to low (Workspace); requires internet; 2–3 hours of training on sharing, permissions, filters, basic formulas; 1 part-time “data coordinator” per 30–50 households/hectares.
  • Excel + OneDrive/SharePoint: licensed under Microsoft 365; suitable for strong offline use; 3–4 hours of training (cloud sync, co-authoring, versioning).
  • Scaling up: when lots and partners exceed ~100, consider a specialized traceability/documentation platform (see below).

Golden rule: the simpler the tool, the shorter the training and the higher the adoption rate. Prioritize data discipline and consistency over “fancy features.”

Vietnamese tools: when to use them

Once your data runs smoothly on Sheets/Excel for 1–2 seasons, consider Vietnamese tools for QR traceability, digital logbooks, and government integration:

  • iTrace247 (VIETRADE): a blockchain-based traceability system supporting multilingual QR labels — “The Vietnam Trade Promotion Agency has launched a blockchain-based origin tracing system, iTrace247…” (excerpt). Piloted for Thanh Ha lychee and northern fruits. Ideal when you need QR codes for exports and storytelling. (VnEconomy)
  • National Product Traceability Portal: aims to “connect and share traceability data across sectors and provinces.” “The system allows lookup of agricultural product origin information.” (excerpt, DSMQ). Useful to overcome data fragmentation. (truyxuatnguongoc.gov.vn)
  • VNPT Check, iCheck/CheckVN, Agri360: provide QR tags, digital logbooks, lot management, multilingual support. “CheckVN… record the diary of agricultural production… together with activating traceability stamps.” (excerpt). Suitable for cooperatives or farmer groups needing integrated label–log–traceability functions.

Typical costs & training (based on field projects):

  • QR labels & anti-counterfeit tags: priced per label; cheaper in bulk; 1–2 hours of training for tagging/warehouse staff.
  • Digital logbooks (mobile apps): requires smartphones; 3–4 hours of hands-on training (uploading invoices, field photos, geotagging).
  • System administration: 1 part-time data coordinator (cooperative/business) to verify completeness and synchronization.

For EU markets, platforms that support geolocation fields and lot segregation are highly useful, aligning with EUDR (plot coordinates, polygons > 4 ha, 5-year record retention). (Green Forum)

Using Zalo, Facebook, and YouTube appropriately

Vietnam’s social media coverage is extremely wide: “Vietnam was home to 76.2 million social media user identities in January 2025.” (excerpt).
Zalo alone reached about 77–78 million MAUs in 2024–2025 (DataReportal, VNG 2024 Report).

Use each channel for the right purpose:

  • Zalo: group chats for production teams to send reminders, geotagged photos, short field videos, and collection notices; Zalo OA/Mini App can serve as a quick lookup window. (VietNamNet News)
  • Facebook (private groups/forums): peer learning, FAQs, finding logistics/support partners — but not for official records (posts are transient and hard to standardize).
  • YouTube: short 3–5 minute SOP videos (PPE use, biological pesticide mixing, sampling, packaging); ideal for asynchronous seasonal training.

Always comply with platform and legal requirements. These are support tools for operations/training, not official record systems.

Preparing personnel & training for the value chain (30–60 day sample plan)

Goal: achieve one micro-lot at “pre-certification” level to test the market.

Minimum staffing

  • 01 Data coordinator (cooperative/business, part-time): manages Sheets/Excel, validates photos/locations, ensures logs are complete (0.3–0.5 FTE for 30–50 households).
  • 01 Field technician: assists farmers with data entry, moisture checks, PPE compliance (0.5 FTE for 30 households).
  • Core farmer group: 10–20 pilot farmers committed to micro-lot trials.

Four-step plan

  • Weeks 1–2: create sample Sheets/Excel (6 data groups), train on Zalo “photo + location,” test with 1–2 farmers.
  • Weeks 3–4: expand to 10–20 farmers; review data gaps; choose a Vietnamese app (if using digital tags/logs) and print pilot labels.
  • Weeks 5–6: conduct 1–2 technical tests (MRL/microbiology) for pilot lots; adjust SOPs accordingly.
  • Weeks 7–8: compile “pre-certification” dossier (logs, coordinates, segregation, testing) and present to buyers for price benchmarking.

Estimated costs (excluding lab tests):

  • Lowest-cost option (Sheets/Excel + Zalo): ~ 0–2 million VND/month (mobile data + printing).
  • Digital tag/log app: pay per label/user package; 3–4 hour farmer training session.
  • Testing: depends on indicators and lab; sample pilot lot first before scaling up.

Linking ESG–VSS through a “data ladder”

Well-managed operational data transforms EUDR (plot coordinates, production timeline, 5-year record retention) and MRL requirements into routine management metrics instead of last-minute hurdles. From there, you can choose the appropriate VSS certification (e.g., focusing on soil–water–labor), since photos, coordinates, lot codes, and test results are already available.
ESG is the architecture; VSS is the “OK button” confirming that the architecture runs smoothly.

From Mindset to Action in Green Export – Part 3: ESG – The Compass for Designing Business Models Toward Green Export

Many businesses tend to think of VSS as a “ticket” and ESG as a “scorecard.” In reality, it should be the other way around: ESG is the operational architecture from within — it determines what you produce, how you produce it, how you manage risk, and how you measure performance. Once that internal system operates stably, VSS becomes merely a verification and standardization step — a shared language with buyers. Rigid trade barriers like MRL or EUDR will continue to exist. Therefore, to go far, businesses must turn market requirements into internal capabilities — namely, data, traceability, and SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures).

From ESG to Business Model Design and Renewal

ESG doesn’t make a business “spend more” — if done right, it helps reduce risks, stabilize operations, and enhance credibility. ESG has a profound impact on three core design blocks: value, cost–productivity, and risk–governance.

It forces us to redefine the value proposition — shifting from “cheap and fast” to “stable, transparent, and safe.” By standardizing processes (e.g., saving water, reducing inorganic inputs, segregating and tracing production flows), quality variability decreases, which in turn lowers risk costs — the often-invisible but expensive burden in export. At the same time, ESG builds a “data discipline” that enables businesses to manage technical barriers (for instance, when the default MRL is 0.01 mg/kg if a substance has no specific limit in the EU) and policy risks (as the EUDR requires geolocation of production areas and segregation between compliant and non-traceable goods).

Two Case Studies – From Field to Model

Let’s look at two real-world examples introduced by Dân Việt newspaper to understand how farmers are moving toward sustainable, green production. In practice, ESG is not a PR slogan; it is a set of technical and management decisions — covering soil, water, fertilizer, labor, and data — that lead to stable productivity, lower risk costs, and “audit readiness.”

Case 1 – A Ngum (Bahnar, Gia Lai):
Since 2022, he has eliminated synthetic chemicals, switched to organic–microbial farming, practiced intercropping, and focused on soil ecosystem health. Results: reduced pests, stable yields, over 3.5 tons of coffee beans per hectare, and nearly VND 300 million net income per year. His farm has become a community learning site, showing clear social (S) impact. In terms of the business model, he repositioned his value from “chemical-intensive, yield-driven” to “safe, consistent, ecosystem-based.” With minimal record-keeping and traceability, his natural model aligns well with VSS frameworks that emphasize soil health and farmer welfare.

Case 2 – Nguyễn An Sơn (Đắk Lắk):
Since 2020, he has adopted multi-stem pruning and drip irrigation with a weekly “nutrition menu”, achieving about 40% water savings, 15–30% less inorganic fertilizer, and five-sixths labor savings. Yields reached ≈5.5 tons/ha (about 1.5 times traditional yields), producing 130 tons in 5 years, worth about VND 8.5 billion, with nearly VND 1 billion in annual profit — along with an OCOP 3-star brand. This is ESG through precision farming: saving resources (E), ensuring labor safety (S), and enforcing procedural and data discipline (G). As a result, meeting VSS and technical requirements becomes much easier.

From Practical Cases to the VSS Roadmap

There are no “shortcuts” to VSS compliance. There are two sustainable paths:

  • (i) ESG-first – transform technical and management practices to generate standardized data, or
  • (ii) Micro-lot-first – start small but compliant to learn fast and minimize “tuition costs.”

Both converge on data–traceability–SOPs.

When ESG practices become routine processes, requirements like MRL, microbial limits, or EUDR become ordinary management indicators. At that point, VSS serves as a “seal of approval” verifying that the system runs effectively — not a “lifebuoy” in crisis.
Certification investment also becomes easier to budget, as actual costs depend on context and scale, including preparation, evaluation, and maintenance — not just the “audit fee.”

Seven Suggested Steps

  • Step 1 – Choose “high-impact, low-cost ESG levers”: irrigation, fertilizer, post-harvest hygiene, and labor safety. Identify 2–3 measurable indicators (moisture, fertilizer dosage, PPE work hours).
  • Step 2 – Standardize a small pilot process (micro-lot 5–10%): set short SOPs, assign batch codes, separate storage; do it right, fully, and consistently for one crop season.
  • Step 3 – Keep disciplined minimal records: digital or paper farming logs, store input receipts, score compliance weekly.
  • Step 4 – Measure core technical indicators: test 1–2 lots for MRL, microbiology, heavy metals; refine processes accordingly.
  • Step 5 – Make value transparent: use QR/batch codes linked to field photos, geolocation, simplified SOPs; tell the story of “saving water/reducing fertilizer/ensuring food safety.”
  • Step 6 – Cross-check with VSS and test negotiation: compare micro-lot results with 15–25 minimum criteria of a target standard; test-tiered pricing with buyers (small contracts, seasonal improvement clauses).
  • Step 7 – Tell your story: share authentic, transparent experiences to build a community of practice. Consolidated data will provide a full picture when proof is needed.

These seven steps effectively “package ESG” into business modules — each creating a data asset and a new operational capability — the very elements VSS measures and customers pay for when you can prove them.

Avoid Two Common “Traps” in VSS Implementation

In reality, costs often “inflate” because of mindset traps, not the standards themselves. Businesses tend to avoid action or fall into one of these traps, turning VSS into a burden:

  • Trap 1 – Substitution Trap: believing that “having certification = exemption” from technical barriers. Wrong — MRL, microbiological, and EUDR rules are hard barriers. VSS merely helps structure your processes to overcome them consistently.
  • Trap 2 – Overextension Trap: adopting multiple standards before having strong data–segregation foundations. The solution is to focus on one core standard aligned with your target segment; build a solid micro-lot before expanding.

To join global value chains and retain value, businesses must turn market requirements into internal capabilities. The shortest path is to redesign the business model around ESG, then use VSS to standardize and demonstrate performance.
From A Ngum (Gia Lai) to Nguyễn An Sơn (Đắk Lắk), both cases prove that ESG is a set of technical and managerial decisions that yield stable productivity, transparent data, lower risk costs — and thereby reduce expenses and increase success probability when pursuing VSS certification.

Note: At the time of writing, the EUDR has been announced by the European Commission to be postponed for another year due to technical reasons, pending approval by the Parliament and member states — but the direction toward geolocation, traceability, and supply segregation remains unchanged.

7 Proactive Steps for Green Export – From ESG Thinking to Creative Action

In the global context, green, sustainable standards, and ESG (Environmental – Social – Governance) have increasingly become not just "external requirements" but a core foundation for businesses to affirm their position and create long-term export opportunities. Many Vietnamese businesses are still accustomed to a passive approach – only changing when requested by partners. However, real-world examples from successful businesses show that proactively starting from within – from the business model and internal governance – creates a creative path, aligns with resources, and provides sustainable competitive advantages.

KisStartup has compiled and analyzed 7 proactive steps to help businesses enter green export effectively:

Step 1: Analyze the Current Business Model and Internal ESG
The starting point is not from the outside, but from within the business itself. Dissect your current business model according to the 9 components (Canvas) and ask: What is the level of E (Environmental), S (Social), and G (Governance)? What needs improvement?
For example: Does the production process cause waste of materials? Is the team fairly compensated? Is the governance system transparent and tracking ESG effectiveness?
From there, develop a specific strategy to integrate ESG into your business model rather than just treating it as a slogan.

Step 2: Tell the Green Story of Your Products and Services
Today's global customers are not just buying products, they are buying the story and values behind them. Be proactive in sharing your sustainability journey:

  • How are farmers supported?

  • How does your production process save water and energy?

  • How has your company reduced emissions, recycled, or contributed to society?
    Use your website, social media, catalogs, and fairs to build trust and differentiate yourself before the market raises questions.

Step 3: Embrace the First Trial Orders
Once you’ve shared your story, the market will provide feedback. Small trial orders from abroad are opportunities for testing. At this stage, businesses should:

  • Understand the needs and consumption habits of international customers.

  • Compare with current capacity and resources.

  • Identify gaps to be filled for further progress.
    Be proactive in learning from the market through each trial order to adjust quickly and minimize risk.

Step 4: Accurately Understand Market Criteria and Requirements
Each market and customer has different standards. Instead of vaguely aiming to be “green,” clarify specific criteria:

  • What is the maximum allowable chemical content?

  • How is traceability handled?

  • Which certifications are mandatory?
    Proactively reach out to trade organizations, participate in programs like GEVA or SwissTrade, or communicate directly with partners to “translate” requirements into actionable internal processes.

Step 5: Negotiate and Make Investment Decisions
At this stage, businesses need to face reality: with outputs in place, it’s time to invest. Negotiate with customers on purchase commitments, then decide:

  • Invest in new technology to meet standards.

  • Enhance human resources to manage ESG.

  • Adjust processes for greater transparency.
    This is the “risk-balancing” step between market requirements and internal capabilities.

Step 6: Complete Certifications for a Specific Market
Instead of spreading across multiple certifications at once, focus on a priority market and achieve sustainable certifications (Organic, Fairtrade, Rainforest Alliance, etc.).
Certifications are not only a “pass” but also a commitment that demonstrates your ESG journey.

Step 7: Expand the Market – Continuously Adjust the Business Model
Once successful in one market, use that experience and evidence to expand into other markets.
At the same time, continuously ask: Does the current business model still align with the new ESG context? What needs to change? The mindset of “proactively checking and adjusting” will help businesses remain flexible and not passively follow trends.
Green export is not just about “meeting partner requirements,” but a long-term strategy to create value and sustainable differentiation for Vietnamese businesses. By starting with their own business model, creatively integrating ESG, telling their story, and expanding step by step, businesses can proactively seize opportunities and design their own path to the global market that fits their resources and advantages.

To accompany businesses on this journey, KisStartup and the GEVA project have developed a set of 3 measurement tools to help businesses self-assess, self-adjust, and proactively shape their green export path:

  • Export Readiness Measurement Tool – Helps businesses know where they are in their export journey and what they need to prepare.

  • Green Export Compliance Measurement Tool – Compares processes and products with green standards (VSS, Organic, Fairtrade, etc.).

  • Green Business Model Measurement Tool – Analyzes the current business model and finds creative paths that align with E, S, and G elements.

Businesses can start today by using these tools to map their own path instead of waiting for partner requirements.

[RECAP] WORKSHOP “INTEGRATING ESG TO INCREASE COMPETITIVENESS OF BUSINESS”

Yesterday afternoon (June 12, 2024), a workshop jointly organized by KisStartup and ADN Communications Company provided valuable information and knowledge on effectively implementing ESG for businesses.
During the workshop, speaker Nguyen Diem Anh (CEO & Founder of ADN Communications Company) highlighted the importance of ESG in the context of globalization. ESG helps businesses meet the requirements and expectations of stakeholders such as governments, customers, investors, and partners. However, pursuing ESG presents challenges such as information overload and high initial costs. To avoid getting "lost" in the matrix of ESG frameworks and standards, businesses need to clearly define their goals based on their industry, scale, and current situation. Mrs. Diễm Anh introduced a 7-step model for implementing ESG, starting with simple steps like ensuring commitment and consistency within the company.


Later in the workshop, speaker Nguyen Dang Tuan Minh (CEO & Founder of KisStartup) shared insights on the differences between the business models (BM) of companies pursuing ESG principles and traditional businesses. According to her, as you pursue ESG principles, a company's business model will change in goals, scope, stakeholders, transparency reporting and creative innovation. Therefore, businesses need to thoroughly analyze their BM to identify the associated benefits and costs of pursuing ESG, enabling them to develop appropriate strategies.

We look forward to seeing you again in the next training session and hope to continue receiving your enthusiastic support.

[RECAP] FIRST TRAINING SESSION IN THE WORKSHOP SERIES “EXPLORING AND PRACTICING ESG FOR BUSINESS”

The first training session was successfully completed and brought about certain positive effects, as the ESG concept is currently of great interest to many guests, including business owners and experts. During the training session, speaker Nguyen Diem Anh (CEO & Founder of ADN Communications Company) discussed the concepts, standards, reference frameworks, and analyzed the importance of ESG compliance to the attendees. From this, the following conclusions were drawn.

  • ESG is not optional but mandatory  for businesses in the context of globalization
  • Depending on the field and characteristics, each business will have different ESG compliance strategies and reference frameworks
  • The commitment from the leaders and managers plays a crucial role in ESG compliance.

During the discussion, participants (including business owners, lecturers, and consulting service providers) and the speaker discussed the importance of educating and training the younger generation (students) about ESG. Businesses should not only regard providing internship opportunities to students as fulfilling a community responsibility but also recognize that the younger generation will play a crucial role in the sustainable development of businesses in the future. Therefore, businesses and universities should proactively collaborate to not only teach theoretical knowledge but also apply students' ESG knowledge in practice.
In the next three training sessions, the speaker will provide knowledge and experiences on:

  • Integrating ESG to increase competitiveness for businesses;
  • Practicing ESG in the financial sector and export sector;
  • Practice and Application of ESG in branding for businesses;
