Ethical Business
Yoma Strategic manages its exposure to corruption risks by applying and emphasising good corporate governance, business ethics and transparency.
The Group is committed to a high standard of corporate governance for the long-term sustainability of the Group’s business. It has a zero-tolerance approach to corruption, bribery and fraud and has developed a number of key policies and procedures such as Anti-Bribery Policy, Anti-Corruption Procedure, Code of Conduct, Conflict of Interest Policy and Whistle Blowing Policy which are disseminated and available to all employees, contractors, suppliers and business partners. Our employees are required to undergo training on the key policies and procedures.
Direct or indirect contributions to political causes may also represent a corruption risk because they can be used to exert undue influence on the political process. Yoma Strategic is not making – and has never made – any financial or in-kind political contributions, directly or indirectly.
The Group continuously advocates a strong corporate governance culture among its employees to ensure that they operate in an ethical and responsible manner. The Group strives to maintain full compliance with the relevant national environmental policies, laws and regulations as well as the IFC’s performance standards and the ADB’s Safeguard policy, and the FMO Sustainability Policy Framework.
The Group’s Enterprise Risk Management (“ERM”) system is designed to achieve a prudent and reasonable balance between risk and return, while providing the framework for managing risk and future events effectively to both protect and enhance the business in meeting its strategic objectives.
The Environmental Compliance Certificate (“ECC”) was awarded to the Yoma Central project in recognition that it follows the relevant national environmental policies, laws and regulations.
Yoma Central has also adopted IFC EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) as a sustainability standard for green design and construction principles. Yoma Strategic continues to maintain its ranking within the top 5% of listed companies on the Singapore Governance and Transparency Index 2020.
Employee Wellbeing
Yoma Strategic is setting the benchmark for domestic and international companies operating in Myanmar with its strong commitment to being a responsible employer. The Group is creating a work environment that reflects the best international business has to offer. We invest in our people to build careers around a shared culture of fairness, diversity, empowerment and recognition.
In 2020, the Group has initiated a People 2020 Program, which centred around the four core areas with the aim of caring for its employees using a holistic approach: Eat Well, Save Well, Live Well and Move Well.
