About us
More than ten years advising public and private investment projects
LHC Viet Nam was established in Ha Noi in 2014. For more than ten years, we have worked alongside government agencies, project management units, development partners and investors on the environmental and social aspects of public and private investment projects, from investment preparation, through implementation, to construction completion.
Three pillars
People
People affected by land acquisition, loss of livelihoods and resettlement, ethnic minorities, women and vulnerable groups are consulted and fully considered in project plans.
Natural Capital
Forests, biodiversity, water resources and ecosystem services are assessed and accounted for, so that projects avoid and minimize losses and use resources sustainably. Disaster and climate risks are assessed to make works more resilient.
