Environment
Identifying and assessing environmental, health and safety impacts, proposing mitigation measures, and independently monitoring their implementation.
About us
LHC Viet Nam
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.
Since 2021, we have extended our work to natural capital (forests, biodiversity and water resources) and assess disaster risk, climate risk and greenhouse gas emissions for projects.
The projects we support are financed by development partners, financial institutions, the state budget and private investors, across provinces and cities throughout Viet Nam and in Laos.
For us, every project is a commitment. We look forward to working with you.

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.
Quality management
Quality is a responsibility throughout, not a final inspection step
LHC manages quality assignment by assignment, based on the contract scope, applicable law, financier requirements and agreed technical criteria, so that outputs are accurate, consistent and reliable enough to support client decision-making.
Five principles
Conformity with requirements
Define the scope, contract requirements, applicable law and financier requirements from the outset.
Evidence-based
Data, records and survey results are traceable; completeness and consistency are checked.
Right expertise, right role
Suitable experts with clear responsibilities, working within the assigned scope.
Review and control
Technical review, cross-checking, and data and document control before issue.
Continual improvement
Receive feedback, address non-conformities, record lessons learned.
Six-step process
- Requirements review, planning
- Mobilize and assign experts
- Control of data and methods
- Technical review, cross-check
- Control before release
