as with full-time employees. After several
days of on-the-job training at assigned
petrol stations, candidates become official
part-time employees of Max Energy,
and their weekends become more
meaningful.
Max Energy and CSR
As one of Max Energy’s missions is to
be a responsible organization for the
future growth and development of the
community as well as its organization,
we have been committed to CSR since the
establishment of Max Energy. We actively
support the Ayeyarwady Foundation, a
nonprofit organization founded in 2010,
with whom we have been contributing
to the country’s education sector, health
sector as well as sports and religious
affairs. However, our CSR activities are
not just limited to contributions to the
Ayeyarwady Foundation. We always try
our best to make contributions for the
benefit of all our stakeholders.
In December 2012, we happened to learn
about the United Nations Global Compact,
the corporate responsibility initiative –
the world’s largest, with more than 8,000
business and non-business participants
in 135 countries. Soon after, Max Energy
became a proud registered participant
in the Global Compact in January 2013.
This was a corporate milestone for Max
Energy, which is the first company within
the Myanmar petrol station industry to
participate in the Global Compact. We
are confident of becoming a responsible
organization through our CSR implementation
by incorporating the Ten Principles
of the Global Compact into our business
practices. Max Energy has been adapting
the Ten Principles as part of its culture
and day-to-day operations.
Max Energy seriously believes in responsible
business and sustainable business
growth and has initiated and implemented
many CSR programs: taking
care of employees’ welfare, providing
career development, contributing to
environmental programs such as tree
planting, creating job opportunities for
the communities where businesses operate,
supporting young generations by
creating part-time-job opportunities, etc.
One of Max Energy’s missions is to
support the younger generation: Our
part-time-job program for students is to
be expanded all over the county. As of
now, almost 10 percent of our full-time
employees have been appointed through
our program and we plan to hire more
in the future. In this program, we provide
proper training, which supports
the safety and security of the students.
Max Energy also fully supports their
career development by giving them
priority to become full-time employees
if they wish.
Moreover, Max Energy supports educational
stipends for the children of our
employees. Our educational stipend program
supports employees at all student
levels: kindergarten, primary school,
middle school, high school, university,
and even master’s degree students. We
also provide healthcare programs for
our employees and annual medical
checkups.
Last but not least, since Max Energy
is strongly committed to sustainable
growth of the organization by supporting
and contributing to the communities and
the environment, various CSR programs
will be carried out as our business grows.
By doing so, we sincerely hope to support
sustainable development, not only for
our organization but also for the young
generation, the communities, and the
country.
