Ứng dụng logistics xanh vào kinh doanh sẽ giúp doanh nghiệp đáp ứng các tiêu chí về môi trường, nâng cao khả năng cạnh tranh và tăng trưởng bền vững, đóng góp quan trọng cho hoạt động xuất nhập khẩu.

Giám đốc Sở Công Thương thành phố Cần Thơ Hà Vũ Sơn phát biểu tại hội thảo

Ngày 18/7, tại Cần Thơ, Sở Công Thương thành phố Cần Thơ, Trung tâm Khoa học và Hợp tác Net Zero Việt Nam – Asia (VANZA) và JGL Vietnam đã phối hợp tổ chức Hội thảo "Logistics xanh - nâng cao năng lực cạnh tranh của doanh nghiệp xuất nhập khẩu Đồng bằng sông Cửu Long" với sự tham gia của gần 300 doanh nghiệp tại Đồng bằng sông Cửu Long, các tỉnh phía Nam và các doanh nghiệp Hàn Quóc, Singapore trong lĩnh vực logistics (dịch vụ hậu cần) và xuất khẩu.

Phát biểu khai mạc hội thảo, ông Hà Vũ Sơn, Giám đốc Sở Công Thương thành phố Cần Thơ nhấn mạnh, logistics xanh đã trở thành xu thế tất yếu và là mục tiêu mà mọi quốc gia đang hướng tới. Logistics xanh không chỉ góp phần bảo vệ môi trường, giảm thiểu tác động tiêu cực của hoạt động vận tải và kho bãi mà còn mang lại lợi ích kinh tế lâu dài, nâng cao hình ảnh và uy tín của doanh nghiệp. Ứng dụng logistics xanh vào kinh doanh sẽ giúp các doanh nghiệp đáp ứng các tiêu chí về môi trường, nâng cao khả năng cạnh tranh và tăng trưởng bền vững, đóng góp quan trọng cho hoạt động xuất nhập khẩu.

"Đặc biệt, với các doanh nghiệp tại khu vực Đồng bằng sông Cửu Long, theo số liệu thống kê, chi phí cho hoạt động logistics chiếm khoảng 16,8%, đóng góp 5-6% GDP, nếu doanh  nghiệp nhận thức đúng vai trò của logistics xanh sẽ có ý nghĩa rất lớn tới quá trình nâng cao năng lực cho hàng hóa xuất khẩu", Giám đốc Hà Vũ Sơn cho hay.

Theo ông Hà Vũ Sơn, tổng kim ngạch xuất khẩu của Đồng bằng sông Cửu Long là khoảng 68 tỷ USD; trong đó, Cần Thơ đứng đầu về kim ngạch xuất khẩu. Hàng năm, Cần Thơ xuất khẩu 2,2 tỷ USD; trong đó, 30% là doanh thu từ xuất khẩu gạo. Sắp tới, Cần Thơ sẽ mở rộng sân bay thành sân bay quốc tế lớn với 10-15 triệu lượt hành khách/năm và hơn 10 triệu tấn hàng hóa/năm. Từ những cơ hội đó, các giải pháp về logistics xanh sẽ góp phần tận dụng tối đa, hiệu quả để phát triển kinh tế của vùng Đồng bằng sông Cửu Long nói riêng và cả nước nói chung.

Tại hội thảo các chuyên gia đều cho rằng, trong xu thế phát triển chung của nền kinh tế thế giới theo hướng xanh, sạch và bền vững, logistics xanh không chỉ còn là xu hướng mà trở thành yêu cầu tất yếu để nâng cao năng lực cạnh tranh, nâng cao hình ảnh thương hiệu nhằm hướng tới phát triển bền vững và toàn diện hơn trong hoạt động kinh doanh, thương mại của các doanh nghiệp xuất nhập khẩu nói riêng và cộng động doanh nghiệp nói chung.

Vai trò đầu tiên và được đánh giá quan trọng nhất của logistics xanh chính là giảm phát thải khí nhà kính. Theo nghiên cứu của Cơ quan năng lượng quốc tế IEA (2021), có đến 37% lượng khí thải nhà kính toàn cầu do vận chuyển - một trong các hoạt động logistics cơ bản nhất, gây ra. Dự báo, nhu cầu vận chuyển hàng hóa sẽ tăng gấp 3 đến 2050 tại các nước đang phát triển ở châu Á, châu Phi và châu Mỹ Latinh, kéo theo lượng phát thải khí nhà kính tăng gấp đôi.

Ông Đỗ Xuân Quang, Phó Tổng Giám đốc Thường trực Công ty Cổ phần Hàng không Vietjet phát biểu tại hội thảo 

Dưới góc nhìn một nhà quản lý có nhiều kinh nghiệm trong ngành, ông Đỗ Xuân Quang, Phó Tổng Giám đốc Thường trực Công ty cổ phần Hàng không Vietjet; nguyên Chủ tịch Hiệp hội Doanh nghiệp Dịch vụ logistics Việt Nam cho biết, logistics là ngành chiếm gần 20% GDP quốc gia và được xem như chiếc đòn bẩy thúc đẩy nền kinh tế.

Trong xu thế phát triển chung của nền kinh tế thế giới theo hướng xanh, sạch và bền vững, logistics xanh không chỉ còn là xu hướng mà trở thành yêu cầu tất yếu để nâng cao năng lực cạnh tranh, nâng cao hình ảnh thương hiệu nhằm hướng tới phát triển bền vững và toàn diện hơn trong hoạt động kinh doanh, thương mại của các doanh nghiệp xuất nhập khẩu nói riêng và cộng đồng doanh nghiệp nói chung.

Với ngành logistics, ESG được cụ thể hóa bằng khái niệm logistics xanh. Cụ thể, logistics xanh chi phối đồng thời cả 3 mục tiêu kinh tế, xã hội và môi trường. Ba mục tiêu này không loại trừ nhau mà ngược lại còn củng cố lẫn nhau và tạo tiền đề cho nhau phát triển.

"Mọi nỗ lực của logistics xanh không chỉ giúp doanh nghiệp đáp ứng yêu cầu ngày càng cao từ cộng đồng và thị trường mà còn tạo ra cơ hội mới và giúp tăng cường vị thế cạnh tranh trên thị trường quốc tế, góp phần quan trọng vào việc hình thành một môi trường kinh doanh tích cực và góp phần thúc đẩy phát triển bền vững tại doanh nghiệp", ông Quang nhấn mạnh.

Theo các chuyên gia, để thực hiện được mục tiêu logistics xanh, doanh nghiệp cần tập trung quản lý chuỗi cung ứng xanh và gắn liền với quản trị các mắt xích liên quan, bao gồm: vận tải xanh, bao bì xanh, kho bãi xanh, quản lý dự liệu xanh và logistics ngược.

Trong đó, vận tải xanh là sử dụng các phương tiện vận tải tạo ra lượng khí thải thấp hơn như: xe điện sử dụng năng lượng sạch, vận tải đường thủy. Bao bì xanh là sử dụng các bao bì có khả năng tái chế, tái sử dụng, bao bì dùng vật liệu có thể phân hủy và phân hủy sinh học…

"Khi các mắt xích đó đều “xanh” doanh nghiệp sẽ có thể nâng cao năng lực sản xuất, năng lực vận hành; đồng thời, hình thành nên hệ sinh thái xanh, bền vững xoay quanh doanh nghiệp", ông Đỗ Xuân Quang cho biết.

Ông Sang-Hoon Lee Chủ tịch Cơ quan Năng lượng Hàn Quốc phát biểu tại hội thảo

Đánh giá về ý nghĩa của hội thảo, ông Sang-Hoon Lee, Chủ tịch Cơ quan Năng lượng Hàn Quốc (KEA) cho rằng, khi cuộc khủng hoảng khí hậu ngày càng gia tăng trên toàn thế giới và thị trường năng lượng toàn cầu trở nên bất ổn, nhu cầu thiết lập an ninh năng lượng và trung hòa carbon ngày càng tăng.

Trong những năm gần đây, sự quan tâm đến logistics xanh đã tăng lên nhanh chóng trên toàn thế giới. Khi tầm quan trọng của phát triển bền vững và bảo vệ môi trường ngày càng tăng, ngành logistics cũng đang giới thiệu các phương thức vận chuyển thân thiện với môi trường như: xe điện và xe hybrid để giảm lượng khí thải carbon và logistics xanh là yếu tố then chốt trong việc xây dựng chuỗi cung ứng bền vững.

"Hàn Quốc và Việt Nam có thể cùng nhau thảo luận về chương trình nghị sự quốc tế này và sự kiện hôm nay sẽ là một bước tiến trong hành trình dài hướng tới trung hòa carbon", ông Sang-Hoo Lee hy vọng.

  • To third parties in the event that (i) we sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we will disclose your Personal Data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets and/or (ii) if the Company or substantially all of its assets are acquired by a third party, in which case Personal Data held by it about its customers will be part of the assets transferred to such third party; and

  • If we are under a duty to disclose or share your Personal Data in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply our Terms of Use or other agreements; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Company, our customers, or others.

9. Transfer of Personal Data

Your Personal Data may be transferred to and stored in different jurisdictions and may also be processed by staff operating within the various countries who work for us or for one of our contractors.

10. Retention of Personal Data

We will only retain your Personal Data for as long as necessary for the purposes collected, as set out at paragraph 3 of this Privacy Policy, and for any legal, tax, or accounting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for the Personal Data we hold, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the Personal Data, the risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your Personal Data, the reasons why we handle your Personal Data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

In some circumstances, such as the closing or termination of your Account, we may anonymise your Personal Data so that it can no longer be associated with you for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

11. Security

We will implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risks of accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of or access to your Personal Data.

We monitor for and try to prevent security breaches. We implement security safeguards designed to protect your data. We regularly monitor our systems for possible vulnerabilities and attacks. However, we cannot warrant the security of any information that you send us. There is no guarantee that data may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.

The transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Data transmitted to our site.

Where you have chosen a password which enables you to access certain parts of our site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share the password with anyone.

12. Your Rights

13. Third Parties

Our site may, from time to time, contain links to and from the websites of third party networks, advertisers and affiliates. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for your access to these websites. Third parties may also use cookies which we have no control over. Please check their individual privacy policies for more information on how your personal data will be handled by these websites.

Additional Terms

14. Cross-Border Data Transfers

We store and use your data outside your country.

We process data both inside and outside of Vietnam and rely on legally-provided mechanisms to lawfully transfer data across borders. Countries where we process data may have laws which are different from, and potentially not as protective as, the laws of your own country.

15. Communications

We contact you and enable communications between Members. We offer settings to control what messages you receive and how often you receive some types of messages.

We will contact you through email, mobile phone, notices posted on our websites or apps, messages to your LinkPower inbox, and other ways through our Services, including text messages and push notifications. We will send you messages about the availability of our Services, security, or other service-related issues. We also send messages about how to use our Services, network updates, reminders, job suggestions and promotional messages from us and our partners. You may change your communication preferences at any time. Please be aware that you cannot opt out of receiving service messages from us, including security and legal notices.

We also enable communications between you and others through our Services, including for example invitations, groups and messages between connections.

16. Advertising

We serve you tailored ads both on and off our Services. We offer you choices regarding personalized ads, but you cannot opt-out of seeing other ads.

We target (and measure the performance of) ads to Members, Visitors and others both on and off our Services directly or through a variety of partners, using the following data, whether separately or combined:

  • Data from advertising technologies on and off our Services, pixels, ad tags, cookies, and device identifiers;

  • Member-provided information;

  • Data from your use of our Services;

  • Information from advertising partners, vendors and publishers.

We will show you ads called sponsored content which look similar to non-sponsored content, except that they are labeled as advertising (e.g., as “ad” or “sponsored”).

17. Ad Choices

We adhere to self-regulatory principles for interest-based advertising and participate in industry opt-outs from such ads. This does not opt you out of receiving advertising; you will continue to get other ads by advertisers not listed with these self regulatory tools. You can also opt-out specifically from our uses of certain categories of data to show you more relevant ads.

18. Marketing

We promote our Services to you and others. In addition to advertising our Services, we use Members’ data and content for invitations and communications promoting membership and network growth, engagement and our Services.

19. Direct Marketing

We currently do not share personal data with third parties for their direct marketing purposes without your permission.

20. Developing Services and Research

We develop our Services and conduct research.

We use data, including public feedback, to conduct research and development for our Services in order to provide you and others with a better, more intuitive and personalized experience, and drive membership growth and engagement on our Services.

21. Surveys

Polls and surveys are conducted by us and others through our Services. You are not obligated to respond to polls or surveys, and you have choices about the information you provide. You may opt-out of survey invitations.

22. Insights That Do Not Identify You

We use your data to produce and share insights that do not identify you. For example, we may use your data to generate statistics about our members, their profession or industry, to calculate ad impressions served or clicked on, or to publish visitor demographics for a Service or create demographic workforce insights.

23. Security and Investigations

We use data for security, fraud prevention and investigations. We use your data (including your communications) for security purposes or to prevent or investigate possible fraud or other violations of our User Agreement and/or attempts to harm our Members, Visitors or others.

24. Legal Disclosures

We may need to share your data when we believe it’s required by law or to help protect the rights and safety of you, us or others.

It is possible that we will need to disclose information about you when required by law, subpoena, or other legal process or if we have a good faith belief that disclosure is reasonably necessary to (1) investigate, prevent or take action regarding suspected or actual illegal activities or to assist government enforcement agencies; (2) enforce our agreements with you; (3) investigate and defend ourselves against any third-party claims or allegations; (4) protect the security or integrity of our Services (such as by sharing with companies facing similar threats); or (5) exercise or protect the rights and safety of LinkPower, our Members, personnel or others. We attempt to notify Members about legal demands for their personal data when appropriate in our judgment, unless prohibited by law or court order or when the request is an emergency. We may dispute such demands when we believe, in our discretion, that the requests are overbroad, vague or lack proper authority, but we do not promise to challenge every demand.

25. Limits on liability

We work hard to provide the best Products we can and to specify clear guidelines for everyone who uses them. Our Products, however, are provided "As is," and to the extent permissible by law, we make no guarantees that they always will be safe, secure, or error-free, or that they will function without disruptions, delays, or imperfections. To the extent permitted by law, we also disclaim all warranties, whether express or implied, including the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement. We do not control or direct what people and others do or say, and we are not responsible for their actions or conduct (whether online or offline) or any content that they share (including offensive, inappropriate, obscene, unlawful and other objectionable content).

We cannot predict when issues may arise with our Products. Accordingly, our liability shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, under no circumstance will we be liable to you for any lost profits, revenues, information, or data, or consequential, special, indirect, exemplary, punitive or incidental damages arising out of or related to these Terms of Use (however caused and on any theory of liability, including negligence), even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

26. Disputes

We try to provide clear rules so that we can limit or hopefully avoid disputes between you and us. If a dispute does arise, however, it's useful to know upfront where it can be resolved and what laws will apply.

If you are a consumer, the laws of the country in which you reside will apply to any claim, cause of action or dispute that you have against us that arises out of or relates to these Terms of Use, and you may resolve your claim in any competent court in that country that has jurisdiction over the claim. In all other cases, and for any claim, cause of action or dispute that LinkPower files against you, you and LinkPower agree that any such claim, cause of action or dispute must be resolved exclusively according to Vietnamese law.

We welcome any questions, comments and requests regarding this Privacy Policy. Please address them to info@linkpower.eco.
