The textile and apparel supply chain in Vietnam is quite complex and this is an economic sector leading to a lot of environmental damage. Therefore, "greening" for sustainable development of the textile and apparel industry is becoming a trend, a call from customers around the world. When customers have strict requirements, requiring garment products to meet "sustainable" criteria, garment exporting companies in Vietnam cope with challenges. The article analyzes the advantages and challenges of garment export companies in Vietnam when participating in the global supply chain in the current green context. Recommendations are then proposed for garment export companies, the Vietnam Textile and Apparel Association and the Government to develop the sustainable textile and apparel supply chain, facilating garment export companies to improve their capacity when participating in the chain.
