With the increasing public awareness of social issues, the importance of sustainability in the supply chain has improved significantly over the past few decades. The Vietnamese government has announced the “National Sustainable Development Orientation” to implement the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Although there have been many studies on sustainable development in recent years, there has been little research on how companies and stakeholders cooperate to achieve common goals. Therefore, the author from University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) conducted the research project “The correlation between social sustainability and performance in the supply chain – A case of small and medium enterprises in Vietnam” to determine the relationship between social sustainability and performance in small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Vietnam.
