GRI Overview 

Global Sustainability Reporting Framework 

About GRI 

GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) is an international non-profit organization, established to develop and promote the adoption of sustainable reporting standards worldwide. GRI has developed the GRI Standards – the most widely recognized globally recognized reporting framework on governance, environmental, social and economic impacts of businesses and organizations. 

GRI was established in 1997 in Boston, USA, with the initial goal of encouraging businesses to fully and transparently declare their environmental and social impacts. Since then, GRI has become an important platform to help organizations evaluate, manage and effectively communicate sustainable development information to stakeholders. 

History of establishment and development 

GRI was born in the context that the world is increasingly concerned about environmental issues, climate change and sustainable development. In the late 20th century, many major environmental crises such as the Exxon Valdez oil spill (1989) raised the requirement for corporate information transparency. From the initial initiative founded by CERES (Coalition for Environmentally Responsible Economies) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), GRI has developed and added economic and social factors to the reporting framework, not just the environmental aspect. 

Through revisions and updates, the GRI standard has become more and more complete, meeting the needs of the business community and global stakeholders. Up to now, tens of thousands of businesses and organizations in more than 100 countries have applied GRI. 

GRI Standard Set Structure 

GRI Standards is the world’s first set of sustainability reporting standards built in modules, providing flexibility and ease of updating. The structure of the GRI Standards consists of three main groups: 

  • Universal Standards: Includes requirements, basic principles when preparing reports, information about the business, principles of governance, ethics, and relationships with stakeholders. 
  • Topic-specific Standards: Divided into three groups: economics (GRI 200), environment (GRI 300), and social (GRI 400). Each topic has specific indicators and guidelines for organizing the declaration of management impacts and effectiveness. 
  • Sector Standards: Applied to specific industries with special risks and impacts, such as oil and gas, mining, finance, etc. 

Organizations using the GRI can report comprehensively (“in accordance with GRI Standards”), or select sections with reference to GRI Standards. 

Benefits of applying GRI 

Applying GRI helps businesses and organizations achieve many important benefits: 

  • Improve transparency and accountability: GRI encourages businesses to fully disclose their business results, economic, social and environmental impacts; thereby strengthening the trust of stakeholders such as investors, customers, the community, and management agencies. 
  • Improve governance and risk management efficiency: The GRI reporting process helps businesses identify, measure, and assess risks and opportunities in sustainable development, thereby building appropriate strategies. 
  • Attracting sustainable investment capital: Financial institutions and investors are increasingly prioritizing businesses with transparent sustainable development reports that meet international standards such as GRI. 
  • Improve competitiveness: The GRI report helps businesses affirm their position and brand image and easily access global supply chains and international partners. 
  • Meeting legal and policy requirements: Many countries and regions have included sustainability reporting requirements in laws or regulations, and the GRI is an effective reference framework. 

GRI Report Development Process 

To prepare a report under the GRI, the organization usually takes the following steps: 

  • Determine the organizational context: Include the scope of activities, value chains, stakeholders, factors affecting sustainable development. 
  • Consultation with stakeholders: Collecting comments from customers, investors, employees, communities, social organizations, authorities, etc. to identify critical issues to report. 
  • Identify material topics: The most important content and impact on the organization and stakeholders. 
  • Collecting, checking and verifying data: Ensuring the accuracy and reliability of published indicators and information. 
  • Prepare and publish reports: Prepare and present reports transparently and easily understand, and at the same time widely publish them through appropriate communication channels. 

Compare GRI with other reporting frameworks 

In addition to GRI, there are currently many other sets of sustainable development standards such as SASB, TCFD, CDP, Integrated Reporting (IR), ESG reporting, etc. However, GRI has the following outstanding characteristics: 

  • Wide scope, applicable to all industries, fields and types of organizations. 
  • Internationally recognized, chosen by many of the world’s leading organizations. 
  • Focus on social, environmental and economic topics in a balanced way. 
  • Encourage the participation and consultation of stakeholders in the process of developing the report. 

The GRI is also not opposed but is often used in combination with other sets of standards to increase comprehensiveness and meet the diverse needs of investors, partners, and regulatory agencies. 

Challenges in applying GRI in Vietnam 

Although the benefits are obvious, Vietnamese enterprises when applying the GRI also face many challenges: 

  • Professional and financial resources for the development of the report are limited. 
  • The quality and transparency of data are uneven. 
  • The awareness of sustainable development of a part of the leadership is incomplete. 
  • Lack of independent verification and evaluation system for reporting indicators. 
  • There are no legal regulations mandatory to apply GRI on a large scale. 

However, the trend of international integration and increasing requirements from foreign investors and partners will promote the application of GRI more strongly in the near future. 

GRI plays an important role in the process of promoting transparency, responsibility and sustainable development of businesses globally. The application of GRI helps Vietnamese businesses not only improve their prestige and access to international capital, but also contribute to building a responsible business community, towards the harmonious development of the economy, society and the environment. In the context of increasing requirements for sustainable development, mastering and effectively implementing GRI standards will be the key to helping businesses develop in a long-term and sustainable manner.

Tổng quan về IFRS 

Chuẩn mực Báo cáo Tài chính Quốc tế và vai trò trong nền kinh tế toàn cầu

Giới thiệu về IFRS

IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) là bộ chuẩn mực báo cáo tài chính quốc tế do Hội đồng Chuẩn mực Kế toán Quốc tế (IASB – International Accounting Standards Board) phát triển và ban hành. IFRS được sử dụng rộng rãi trên toàn thế giới nhằm hướng tới sự thống nhất, minh bạch và so sánh được trong lĩnh vực báo cáo tài chính giữa các quốc gia, đặc biệt trong bối cảnh toàn cầu hóa kinh tế ngày càng mạnh mẽ.

Lịch sử hình thành và phát triển của IFRS

IFRS ra đời từ nhu cầu thực tế về một hệ thống chuẩn mực tài chính thống nhất, giúp các nhà đầu tư, tổ chức tài chính, doanh nghiệp và các bên liên quan có thể phân tích, so sánh và đánh giá tình hình tài chính của các tổ chức một cách khách quan, độc lập với quy định nội địa từng quốc gia. Tiền thân của IFRS là các Chuẩn mực Kế toán Quốc tế (IAS – International Accounting Standards), được ban hành từ năm 1973 bởi Ủy ban Chuẩn mực Kế toán Quốc tế (IASC). Đến năm 2001, IASB được thành lập để tiếp quản và mở rộng công việc của IASC, đồng thời bắt đầu phát triển các chuẩn mực IFRS mới thay thế dần cho IAS. Hiện tại, nhiều IAS vẫn được sử dụng song song với IFRS.

Mục đích và vai trò của IFRS

Mục tiêu lớn nhất của IFRS là thiết lập một bộ quy tắc kế toán chung, cho phép các doanh nghiệp ở nhiều quốc gia khác nhau trình bày báo cáo tài chính theo cùng một tiêu chuẩn. Điều này giúp:

  • Minh bạch hóa thông tin: IFRS yêu cầu các doanh nghiệp công khai đầy đủ, trung thực và nhất quán về hoạt động tài chính.
  • Tăng khả năng so sánh: Nhà đầu tư và các bên liên quan có thể dễ dàng so sánh báo cáo tài chính giữa các doanh nghiệp trong cùng ngành hoặc ở các quốc gia khác nhau.
  • Thu hút vốn đầu tư nước ngoài: Chuẩn mực thống nhất giúp giảm rào cản đối với dòng vốn quốc tế, thúc đẩy đầu tư xuyên biên giới.
  • Giảm chi phí tuân thủ: Doanh nghiệp đa quốc gia chỉ cần áp dụng một hệ thống chuẩn mực, thuận tiện hơn khi hoạt động ở nhiều thị trường.
  • Thúc đẩy hội nhập kinh tế: IFRS góp phần tạo ra môi trường chuẩn mực, lành mạnh và công bằng, thúc đẩy sự phát triển kinh tế toàn cầu.

Phạm vi áp dụng IFRS trên thế giới

IFRS hiện được sử dụng hoặc chấp nhận tại hơn 140 quốc gia, bao gồm hầu hết các nền kinh tế phát triển như Liên minh Châu Âu, Nhật Bản, Úc, Canada, Hàn Quốc, Brazil và nhiều quốc gia mới nổi. Một số nước lớn như Hoa Kỳ hiện vẫn sử dụng Chuẩn mực kế toán riêng (US GAAP), nhưng các doanh nghiệp Mỹ niêm yết tại nước ngoài hoặc có công ty con quốc tế thường phải chuyển đổi sang IFRS. Ở Việt Nam, Bộ Tài chính cũng đang từng bước thúc đẩy lộ trình áp dụng IFRS cho doanh nghiệp lớn, doanh nghiệp niêm yết và các tổ chức tín dụng.

Những nguyên tắc trọng tâm của IFRS

IFRS dựa trên các nguyên tắc kế toán thay vì các quy định chi tiết, nghĩa là doanh nghiệp phải áp dụng tư duy chuyên môn để quyết định cách ghi nhận, trình bày thông tin sao cho trung thực và hợp lý nhất. Một số nguyên tắc chính bao gồm:

  • Trọng yếu: Chỉ những thông tin trọng yếu mới cần trình bày đầy đủ trong báo cáo tài chính.
  • Trung thực và hợp lý: Thông tin phải phản ánh đúng thực chất giao dịch, sự kiện phát sinh.
  • Nhất quán: Các phương pháp kế toán được áp dụng nhất quán qua các kỳ kế toán.
  • Thận trọng: Ghi nhận chi phí, khoản lỗ tiềm tàng một cách thận trọng, tránh ghi nhận lợi nhuận chưa thực sự phát sinh.

Một số chuẩn mực nổi bật trong IFRS

IFRS bao gồm nhiều chuẩn mực cụ thể về các lĩnh vực tài chính khác nhau. Một số chuẩn mực quan trọng có thể kể đến như:

IFRS 1: Lần đầu áp dụng IFRS

IFRS 2: Thanh toán dựa trên cổ phiếu

IFRS 9: Công cụ tài chính

IFRS 10: Báo cáo hợp nhất

IFRS 15: Doanh thu từ hợp đồng với khách hàng

IFRS 16: Thuê tài sản

IFRS 17: Hợp đồng bảo hiểm

Mỗi chuẩn mực đều đưa ra các nguyên tắc nhận diện, ghi nhận, đo lường và trình bày từng loại giao dịch hoặc đối tượng tài chính riêng biệt.

Lợi ích và thách thức khi áp dụng IFRS

Lợi ích:

  • Tăng uy tín doanh nghiệp: Báo cáo tài chính minh bạch, nhất quán giúp nâng cao uy tín và độ tin cậy với nhà đầu tư trong và ngoài nước.
  • Thuận lợi gọi vốn quốc tế: Doanh nghiệp dễ dàng tiếp cận nguồn vốn toàn cầu nhờ báo cáo tài chính chuẩn mực.
  • Thúc đẩy quản trị hiệu quả: IFRS hỗ trợ doanh nghiệp kiểm soát, quản trị rủi ro và hoạch định chiến lược tốt hơn.

Thách thức:

Khó khăn chuyển đổi: Việc chuyển từ chuẩn mực kế toán địa phương sang IFRS đòi hỏi thời gian, chi phí và nguồn lực lớn.

Yêu cầu năng lực chuyên môn: Người làm kế toán, kiểm toán phải hiểu sâu và vận dụng linh hoạt các nguyên tắc IFRS.

Vấn đề pháp lý và hệ thống: Một số quy định pháp luật, hệ thống CNTT và quy trình nội bộ cần điều chỉnh để phù hợp với IFRS.

Xu hướng và triển vọng phát triển IFRS tại Việt Nam

Việt Nam đang trong quá trình hội nhập kinh tế quốc tế mạnh mẽ, nhu cầu minh bạch hóa thông tin tài chính ngày càng tăng. Bộ Tài chính đã ban hành đề án áp dụng IFRS trên toàn quốc, chia thành các giai đoạn thử nghiệm và mở rộng. Việc áp dụng IFRS được kỳ vọng sẽ tạo điều kiện thuận lợi cho các doanh nghiệp Việt Nam tiếp cận thị trường quốc tế, nâng cao năng lực cạnh tranh và đảm bảo minh bạch tài chính.

IFRS đóng vai trò quan trọng trong việc xây dựng môi trường báo cáo tài chính minh bạch, hiện đại và phù hợp với xu hướng toàn cầu. Dù còn nhiều thách thức về năng lực triển khai và điều chỉnh pháp lý, việc áp dụng IFRS là xu thế tất yếu đối với các doanh nghiệp Việt Nam trong thời kỳ hội nhập quốc tế. Nắm vững IFRS không chỉ là yêu cầu về mặt quản trị tài chính mà còn là chìa khóa mở rộng cơ hội kinh doanh toàn cầu, góp phần phát triển bền vững và nâng cao vị thế của doanh nghiệp Việt trên trường quốc tế.

The Ecovadis platform works based on collecting data from businesses, analyzing according to international criteria, and providing assessment results through scores and rankings. This result helps organizations identify strengths and weaknesses and develop improvement plans that are aligned with business practices. 

Why is Ecovadis important?

Ecovadis evaluation criteria 

Ecovadis uses an assessment framework based on four central themes: 

  • Environment: Including optimal management of resources, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, waste management, use of renewable energy, compliance with international environmental standards and internal policies of the enterprise.

Ecovadis Assessment Process 

Ecovadis’ assessment process includes the following steps: 

  • Registration and provision of information: Businesses register on the Ecovadis platform, provide relevant documents and data. 
  • Data analysis: Ecovadis uses a team of experts and data analysis technology to evaluate the company’s records, documents, policies, certificates, and management processes based on international standards (ISO, GRI, UNGC, etc.). 
  • Scoring and ranking: Ecovadis evaluates key topics, scores each area, and aggregates them into an overall score (usually from 0 to 100). 
  • Reports and feedback: Businesses receive detailed transcripts and reports, providing a roadmap for improvement and specific recommendations. 
  • Periodic re-evaluation: Businesses can update data, demonstrate improvements, and request a re-evaluation after a certain period of time (usually annually). 

Meaning of Ecovadis Score 

The results of the Ecovadis assessment are shown through ratings, from Bronze, Silver, Gold to Platinum, based on the average score of the business compared to the industry and region: 

  • Copper: Meet the minimum requirements for sustainable development. 
  • Silver: There are effective policies and actions on sustainability. 
  • Gold: Rated as a leader in responsibility and continuous improvement.

  • Promote continuous improvement: The Ecovadis Scorecard is the basis for businesses to build a sustainable improvement action program according to a clear roadmap. 
  • Improve reputation and image: Achieving Ecovadis certification helps businesses affirm their position, attract investment and recruit talents. 

Challenges and development trends 

Although Ecovadis offers many benefits, the assessment process also poses many challenges: 

  • Businesses need to invest in management systems, standardize processes and make data transparent. 
  • It requires coordination between many departments in the organization: human resources, environment, legal, finance, supply chain, etc. 
  • Continuously update new regulations on sustainable development on a global scale. 

The current trend is that more and more businesses in Vietnam and the world are actively participating in Ecovadis, turning sustainability criteria into competitive drivers, promoting innovation and international integration.

Products in high-risk groups (e.g., implantable medical devices, new drugs, complex biologics) often require preclinical studies, clinical trials, or more in-depth evaluations before being approved for marketing. 

The TGA plays a key role in ensuring the safety, quality and effectiveness of healthcare products in Australia. Through training, consulting and certification services, TGA not only supports businesses to access the Australian market but also contributes to improving operational standards, promoting the sustainable development of the pharmaceutical – medical device industry in particular and the healthcare sector in general.

Overview of TGA Certification – Therapeutic Goods Administration (Australia) 

Discover the role, process and significance of the TGA in the Australian health sector 

About the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) 

The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) is Australia’s national health regulator, under the Department of Health. The TGA is responsible for administering, evaluating, licensing and monitoring all therapeutic goods used in Australia – including medicines, vaccines, medical devices, diagnostic instruments, therapeutic cosmetics, supplements and blood or blood products. 

The TGA plays a central role in protecting public health by ensuring that medical products circulating in Australia meet safety, quality and efficacy standards. Any business that wants to bring a therapeutic product into the Australian market must comply with the regulations and go through a rigorous review process by the TGA. 

Role and scope of management of the TGA 

  • Evaluation and licensing of new therapeutic goods to the Australian market. 
  • Post-market monitoring to ensure products continue to meet safety standards. 
  • Updates, adjustments, or recalls of unsafe products. 
  • Formulate and maintain standards and technical regulations for therapeutic goods. 
  • International cooperation, sharing information and experience with global health regulators. 

Classification of therapeutic goods by TGA 

The TGA regulates a wide range of therapeutic goods, including: 

  • Medicines: prescription drugs, over-the-counter drugs, complementary medicines, vaccines, blood products, herbal medicines. 
  • Medical Devices: machines, instruments, diagnostic test tubes, assistive devices, and implants. 
  • Complementary Medicines: vitamins, minerals, herbs, dietary supplements. 
  • Biologicals: stem cells, biological tissues, biological vaccines. 

The products are classified based on the level of risk. High-risk products will be subject to stricter controls. 

TGA Registration and Certification Process 

1. Determine the type of product and classify the risk 

Businesses need to accurately determine the type of therapeutic goods and the risk level of the product. The correct classification is an important step, deciding the next review process. 

2. Prepare the registration dossier 

Records include technical literature, clinical or non-clinical data, information on ingredients, manufacturing processes, quality standards, labels, instructions for use, and evidence of efficacy and safety. 

3. Submit dossiers and scientific assessments 

The TGA will review the records, evaluate the data, and may request additional information or conduct additional tests. For new or complex products, the review process can take 6-18 months or more depending on the case. 

4. Register with ARTG (Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods) 

If the product fully meets the requirements for safety, quality, and efficacy, it will be registered in the Australian Therapeutic Goods Register (ARTG). Only products named in the ARTG are allowed to be imported, manufactured, distributed and sold in Australia. 

5. Supervision and post-inspection 

After licensing, the TGA continues to monitor the product through a problem reporting system, periodic inspections, and product recalls if new risks are detected. 

Meaning of TGA Certification 

TGA certification is a mark that confirms that a therapeutic product has passed Australia’s stringent safety and efficacy standards. This offers many benefits: 

  • Increased credibility and reliability: TGA certified products are recognized in many other developed countries. 
  • Expand access to global markets: Many international markets refer to the TGA standard when considering licensing. 
  • Public health protection: Thanks to strict control, potential risks are detected and eliminated in a timely manner. 
  • Support businesses: Transparent and clear processes help businesses build effective product development strategies. 

Challenges of obtaining TGA certification 

  • The evaluation process is long and complicated: Requires thorough dossier preparation and complete scientific data. 
  • High cost: Includes the cost of testing, evaluation, clinical trials, and registration fees. 
  • Requirements for compliance with international quality standards: Production and inspection must comply with international standards (GMP, ISO, etc.) 
  • Regularly update and change regulations: Businesses need to keep a close eye on changes in Australian law. 

Compare TGA Certification with other international certifications 

  • TGA and FDA (US): Both agencies have rigorous review processes, but standards and documentation requirements may differ. Some products that have been approved by the FDA still need to be resubmitted according to TGA standards when entering Australia. 
  • TGA and CE Marking (Europe): CE focuses on product safety and performance when circulating in the European market; The TGA has tighter control over testing and after-sales supervision. 
  • Mutual recognition: Australia participates in a number of international agreements that ease the formalities with products that have been approved in a number of other developed markets. 

Notes when preparing for TGA certification 

  • Understand the type of product and applicable regulations. 
  • Prepare scientific documentation, complete and transparent testing. 
  • Contact experienced experts or consultants about the Australian market. 
  • Ensure the production process and quality management meet international GMP and ISO standards. 
  • Regularly monitor the TGA website for the latest regulations. 

TGA certification is a mandatory “passport” for therapeutic products wishing to enter the potential Australian market and is also a testament to the quality of products at the international level. Meeting the TGA requirements not only protects the health of users but also helps businesses improve their reputation, expand export markets and develop sustainably in the global health sector.
