Abstract

Co-creation for sustainable products and actions is a new approach to most of Vietnamese enterprises and consumers. The co-design workshop between companies and customers is an innovative way to bring them together, create mutual understanding and put the spotlight on sustainability. Through the GetGreen Vietnam project promoting sustainable living and working for Vietnamese middle-income consumers, we have seen the impacts and benefits of the co-design workshop on both the companies and the consumers. For example, the change in packaging design of Viet Lien tea product as a result of the co-design workshop has brought to waste reduction.

This “Co-design of Sustainable Food in Vietnam” booklet is written for everyone, especially companies, consumers and experts, who want to organize a co-design workshop in Vietnam, with focus on food and sustainability. It includes the methodology, a step-by-step facilitation manual and the results of implemented co-design workshops. We hope that readers will be equipped with enough knowledge and be inspired to conduct more and more co-creation activities.
