Sustainability Grounded in Experience. Advisory Built on Practice.
Most ESG advisors have built their careers on the outside — developing frameworks, producing reports, and moving on. Progressive Partners was founded by a practitioner who spent years on the inside: shaping sustainability strategies, embedding social standards across global supply chains, and turning ESG commitments into operational reality. That depth of experience is what we bring to every client.
All About Our Story
Progressive Partners is a business consulting and trading firm focused on delivering results — clearly and collaboratively. We value transparency, simplicity, and measurable impact. Our approach is grounded in real experience, regional insight, and a deep commitment to your success.
Who We Are
Progressive Partners is a specialist ESG and responsible business advisory based in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. We focus on supply chain sustainability, social governance, and responsible business practices across Vietnam and Southeast Asia.
Our practice is built on deep, hands-on experience working within global manufacturing and sourcing organizations — shaping the sustainability frameworks, social standards programs, and responsible sourcing systems that major international buyers now expect from their supply chains. We understand what those expectations look like from the inside. And we know what it genuinely takes to meet them.
We work across industries — apparel and footwear, seafood and aquaculture, agriculture and food, electronics, furniture, and construction — with any business operating in international supply chains where responsible business performance is becoming a commercial and regulatory necessity.
Our history
Years of Journey
History
With over 12 years of practitioner experience shaping sustainability strategies inside global organizations, Progressive Partners delivers practical, evidence-based advisory tailored to the operational realities of Vietnam and Southeast Asia. We translate complex ESG and regulatory requirements into actionable strategies, helping businesses navigate challenges and grow with confidence.
Why We Exist
Most businesses across Southeast Asia deserve better ESG advisory than they currently have access to. Global firms charge fees that are out of reach for most manufacturers. Local generalists lack the depth of experience that today's sustainability landscape demands.
The gap between what international buyers, investors, and regulators expect — and what local businesses can access in terms of credible, specialist support — is exactly where Progressive Partners operates.
Our founding philosophy is simple: practical, honest advisory grounded in real experience. Not reports that gather dust. Not frameworks lifted from a textbook. Guidance that works — because we have seen, from the inside, what actually does.
What Makes Us Different
Inside knowledge: We have shaped the sustainability and social standards frameworks that global buyers now require of their suppliers. We know what genuinely matters — not just what the standards say.
Specialist focus: We work exclusively on ESG, supply chain sustainability, and responsible business. No dilution into unrelated areas.
Practitioner-built: Our advisory is built on experience inside global organizations — not academic frameworks or secondhand knowledge.
Vietnam-based, globally connected: Rooted in Ho Chi Minh City with professional networks across the EU, US, and Asia-Pacific.
Regulatory foresight: We track the full landscape of ESG regulations — active, emerging, and upcoming — so you stay ahead of your buyers and investors.
