Mr. Giandomenico Zappia serves as the Chairperson of the EuroCham Vietnam Sustainable Finance Sector Committee (SFSC), where he leads efforts across five key verticals: green central banking, green commercial banking, capital markets, ESG standards and taxonomy, and sustainable corporate finance. Under his leadership, the SFSC focuses on three major advocacy areas for 2024: sustainable trade finance, ESG disclosure and taxonomy, and adaptation finance.
The Committee's policy advocacy is centered on producing research and position papers, organizing roundtable discussions with key stakeholders such as financial institutions, corporations, and government bodies, and issuing official recommendations to government authorities, including the Ministry of Finance, State Bank of Vietnam, Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, and the Ministry of Planning and Investment.
Mr. Zappia also co-founded and serves as President of AQUILA.is, an innovative company that leverages IoT technology to facilitate sustainable finance by connecting verifiers, borrowers, and banks. AQUILA.is aims to streamline the verification and monitoring of ESG KPIs through real-time IoT data, reducing associated costs and risks.
