ABOUT US
MANGLUB Vietnam is the combination of the words “mangrove” and abbreviation “LUB” that represents our core values. LUB stands for ‘Long-term’, ‘Unlimited stakeholder’ and ‘Being simple & clear’. We believe long-term plan is better for the environment and also reduces risks. ‘Unlimited stakeholder’ shows that how we care about the community and the future generation. We promise that we try to add more and more surrounding and related stakeholders as we solve problems. And ‘Being simple & clear’ states our aim to explain what we do with data and right rationale.
