Mekong Capital has always had a strong ESG focus since its first fund in 2001. The involvement of various development finance institutions as our LPs and partners did help us at various times to articulate clear ESG standards and goals. More recently we have aimed to align our efforts with  the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and our personal purposes and commitments in life, which we seek to fulfill through our work at Mekong Capital.

Climate Action

As one of the most climate-vulnerable countries in the world, SDG#13 Climate Action is particularly important to Vietnam. Mekong Capital recognizes the urgent need to address climate change and its impacts on the society and business.

Mekong Capital is committed to proactively contributing to addressing climate change impacts by not funding any high greenhouse gases (GHG) emitting activities, including coal-related activities, fossil fuel exploration, production, and associated infrastructure.
Mekong Capital encourages its investee companies to adopt, where possible, technically and financially feasible and cost-effective technologies to reduce, avoid or sequester GHG emissions, as well as supports innovation and nature-based solutions to mitigate climate impacts.

On the other hand, Mekong Capital seeks to proactively manage climate risks within its portfolio to strengthen the resilience of the businesses in the face of climate change. Mekong Capital actively engages with investee companies to understand their exposure to natural hazards and develop appropriate preparedness and response action plans.
