Why it matters

Mekong Capital integrates ESG considerations directly into its investment and portfolio management work under a "People & Planet" framework. This covers climate action, responsible production, land use, animal welfare, human rights, and gender equality across its portfolio companies. The firm is also actively building expertise in regenerative agriculture - an area with direct implications for soil health, carbon sequestration, and food system resilience in Southeast Asia. Current portfolio companies include Entobel, which produces insect-based ingredients for animal feed and organic fertilizers, and LiveSpo, a biotechnology company focused on probiotic solutions - both relevant to more sustainable food and agriculture systems.

The firm operates at the intersection of Vietnam's expanding middle class and the country's broader development goals, giving its ESG commitments a concrete economic and social context.
