Cambodia’s forthcoming Industrial Transformation Plan aims at fostering industries that are energy-efficient, environmentally responsible and globally competitive, according to the country’s Deputy Prime Minister Vongsey Vissoth.

The government is reinforcing its commitment to building a value-driven and sustainable textile industry through comprehensive policies promoting cleaner production, ethical labour practices and green innovation, he told the ‘World Green and Sustainability Summit 2025’ in Phnom Penh.

“Green growth lies at the heart of Cambodia’s economic diversification strategy,” Vissoth said. “These actions reaffirm Cambodia’s readiness to meet the demands of global buyers and consumers who increasingly favour ethical and eco-friendly products,” he was quoted as saying by a domestic media outlet.

The country’s green growth strategy places a special focus on transforming the export-oriented garments, footwear, and travel goods (GFT) sector, which generated $11.68 billion in 2024, accounting for 44.6 per cent of total exports.
