Corporate Responsibility

Our corporate social responsibility is not limited to our philanthropic efforts. We consider that paying our taxes, reducing our environmental footprint or offering good, safe, and rewarding working conditions are part of our corporate social responsibility. We strive to meet high ethical standards, and you can find out more about our approach here.

TMH endorses the following frameworks to structure its corporate reporting:

The table below highlights our priorities regarding the SDGs:

Enhancing our corporate disclosure

As a listed company, we must comply with various regulations related to corporate disclosure. For example, we strive to disclose all material information in a timely manner, through YSX’s website  and our own to comply with Notification 1/2016 on Continuous Disclosure issued by SECM. [SECM]

In 2019, we updated our website to facilitate access to relevant documents and data. TMH also decided to keep investing in enhancing its corporate disclosure in 2020 despite the current challenges. As a result, in August 2020, we published a mapping of our disclosure practices against the Myanmar Corporate Governance Scorecard developed  by the SECM , DICA  and YSX  with the support of IFC . The document is available here.

Focus – Our progress in Pwint Thit Sa

Conducted regularly by Myanmar Centre for Responsible Business and Yever, Pwint Thit Sa assess the disclosure of Myanmar companies.

According to the last edition’s results, TMH improved its score significantly and ranked 9. This progress reflects our willingness to embrace transparency, one of our core values.

 

Ensuring the continuity of our operations

The COVID-19 pandemic and the political crises impacted our operations. In collaboration with our clients, we assessed the risks related to security and safety.

Some of the sites are located in conflict areas, and Ethnic Armed Organisations even control some. Ensuring the security of our employees can be highly complex. We work closely with our clients to assess the situation and decide if it is safe to operate and proceed. We also engage local communities; most of the sites’ guards are locally employed can provide us with relevant information.

Supply chain management

All our suppliers must be registered in Myanmar. When selecting a supplier, we consider various criteria: the track record of the suppliers, their ability to deliver on time, quality and cost the desired goods or services.

Environmental performance

We recently established a policy to recycle the waste generated by our head office’s activities. We hired a third-party to collect our waste and to recycle them.

Responsible lobbying

In February 2021, TMH was invited to share its comments on a draft Cybersecurity Law. TMH did it as soon as possible and did not receive any news since.
