The theme of environmental management and sustainable economic development has attracted increasing attention of public organizations, businesses and citizens in Vietnam. However, the picture of sustainable development in Vietnam is unclear when we look into the current situation of illegal industrial waste emissions by manufacturers both inside and outside of industrial zones. More and more enterprises have been detected discharging solids, water and gas waste into surrounding streams, fields and the air and among them foreign companies account for a significant share. The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the current issue of environmental management, specifically industrial waste emission management in Vietnam. The case study of VEDAN Vietnam also was introduced. Suggestion for improve those current environmental management issues have been also made.
