CBH growers visited the Interflour Vietnam mill, port and malt plant in Cai Mep and also the Heineken Brewery in Ho Chi Minh City.

In 2013 Tim travelled to Northern Vietnam with RAFT (The Responsible Asia Forestry & Trade partnership) and it’s partner TFT Vietnam (The Forest Trust) to document their work with the Bao Yen Forestry Company as they assist them and the community members working with them to become FSC certified. This included partnering with them to train local communities in sustainable forest management.
In 2013 Tim worked with journalist Craig Skehan and editor Colin Elphick on a story about the illegal dog trade between Thailand and Vietnam. Thai stray dogs are smuggled to Vietnam, where they are sold and eaten. With bribery at border checkpoints, apathy in Laos, and Vietnam's appetite for dogs, Thai authorities are struggling to stop an estimated 200,000 dogs every year being exported alive.
