| contents | <p>This article focuses on analyzing the current legal framework of Vietnam and relevant international standards regarding corporate responsibility toward workers in supply chains, with particular emphasis on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The author argues that although Vietnamese law provides relatively comprehensive regulations on employers’ responsibilities toward direct employees, it lacks binding provisions on extended responsibilities within the supply chain. In practice, SMEs exhibit a significant gap between regulations and implementation, with numerous violations related to working conditions, employment contracts, wages, and occupational safety. The article proposes improving the legal framework by integrating international standards such as the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGP) and International Labour Organization (ILO) conventions, while enhancing labor inspection, compliance support, and awareness-raising among SMEs to promote responsible business conduct in Vietnam.</p> |
