1. About Myanmar Voyages
Myanmar Voyages is a prestigious tour operator in Myanmar, which after having pioneered
the introduction of Myanmar as a travel destination to Spanish, Northern European and South
American markets have now become a global Destination Management Company (DMC), and
is offering exclusive tours, as well as travel logistics services such as Aviation Ground
Handling and Port Operation for international cruise lines.
Established in 1996, we are proud to be one of Myanmar’s leading DMCs with Head office in
Yangon, and is committed to a sustainable future. We have come a long way but our
philosophy remains the same – to be the best at what we do, offering personalised services
unlike others.
Still a family owned enterprise, we have grown from very humble beginning to a company with
over 40 employees working in 2019. Key to the company’s success is the hard work and
dedication of our employees who are the biggest contributors to the long-term success of the
business and, thus we are committed to ensuring their well-being and development by
supporting them as needed. We continue to leverage on employee engagement touch-points
including corporate events and team building programs to strengthen our shared corporate
values and camaraderie. With these new initiatives, we aim to provide highly productive and
performance-driven culture of excellence.
We have been recognised with several awards, including Best Performance Tour Operator in
Myanmar and ASEAN Business Award in AEC Priority Integration sector in 2015. Besides, we
are a proud member of the Union of Myanmar Travel Association (UMTA), Asia Cruises
Service Network (ACSN), Florida Caribbean Cruise Association (FCCA) and partners with UN
Global Compact and Travelife Organisation for the development sustainability initiatives to
protect the world.
1.1. Sustainability at Myanmar Voyages
Myanmar Voyages’ role in society is to facilitate tourism activities and stimulate economic
development in a way that ultimately drives sustainability progress. We strive to do so by
acting on our purpose to empower people to stay ahead in development and in business by
ensuring long-term success measured by the sum of all of its parts economic, social and
environmental.
1.2. Myanmar Voyages’ Sustainability Direction
Sustainability is not what we do to promote business, but we show our enthusiasm and
genuine interest on how we do it. We earn our trust from stakeholders by conducting our
business responsibly.
1.3. Accelerating sustainable transitions
We recognise sustainability as a source of our value proposition. We apply our core expertise
and functional capabilities to support solutions to shared global issues such as scarcity of
natural resources and the development of lower-carbon energy generation, amongst others.
2

In our experience, companies that proactively reduce their use of scare resources have a
better performance and lower-risk profile.
1.4. Sustainability performance 2018-19
The progress report lists the non-financial key figures that are the result of other actions we
take part according to Travelife sustainability framework in 2018. We are currently revising
and extending our non-financial targets for 2019 -20 as a result of Myanmar Voyages
sustainability governance meeting in December 2018. Additional information on the progress
and results can be found in following chapters.
In line with our sustainability efforts, we do not have print hard copies of the annual and
sustainability report. Electronic versions of the reports are available on
www.myanmarvoyages.com.
2. Governance, Ethics & Compliances
2.1. Governance
Strong governance within Myanmar Voyages provides the foundation for building a culture of
ethical behaviour and minimising business risk. By acting with integrity, we gain the trust of
our customers, business partners and other stakeholders and create a positive impact on the
society.
Employees at Myanmar Voyages are expected to behave with integrity at all times. We create
accountability for ethical business conduct through corporate policies, employee training and
transparent communications. To promote good governance throughout the business in travel
sector value chain; we use our scale, market position and trusted relationships to encourage
ethical behaviour by our partners.
2.2. Ethical conduct & Compliances
Our values as a company are the foundations of our high standard of ethical conduct. Since
2014, we are an active member of UN Global Compact and, thus we respect human rights,
embrace diversity and inclusion and stand firm against corruption. This is core to who we are
as a business, and essential to our sustainable growth, ensuring that we gain and keep the
trust of our stakeholders. The revised Code of Conduct was launch in 2018, which clearly
outlines expectations on staff conduct, particularly on anti-bribery, fair competition, equal
opportunity, customer data privacy and anti-discrimination and environmental responsibility.
This Code continues to recognise international conventions and charters such as UN Global
Compact, which all have been investigated and resolved accordance to the company’s policy
with the employees involved either being given a warning, suspended or terminated,
depending on the severity of the breach.
All employees undergo training on our Code of Conduct to ensure they are familiar with the
company’s expectations on ethical and professional conduct. A Speak Up Policy outlines the
systems that facilitate reporting of misconduct and the procedures for investigation and
resolution of malpractice.

In 2018, we further strengthened awareness related to data privacy and security in tandem
with our implementation by following International Cyber Protection Guidelines on our website.

Thus, our approach to environmental stewardship therefore attends to a local aspects and
regional differences, while considering universal impacts, such as greenhouse gas and CO2
emissions.
4.3. Strategy and objectives
Myanmar Voyages sustainability strategy focuses on long-term commitment. We recognise
the risks presented by climate change and remain committed to supporting a healthy and
sustainable environment by establishing policies and programs that specifically outline how
we conduct business in a safe, environmentally sound manner in accordance with relevant
legislation and regulations.
4.3.1. Sustainable Operations
It is imperative that we conduct business in an operationally efficient way. Our internal waste
management program supports the principles of sustainable operations and aims to improve
the environmental performance of our office and facilities.
Reducing single used plastic by 100% in our office was one of our environmental goals in
2019. In order to tied up this goal, our sustainability team has come up with the slogan, “Beat
plastic pollution. If you can’t reuse it, refuse it.” We used both traditional words-of-mouth
practices and online campaigns to educate staff on ways to reduce plastic usage.
Single-use plastic water bottles and containers are banned and replaced with aluminium water
bottles or individual reusable bottles. Plastic cups for coffee and water were replaced with
glass-wear and coffee mugs. Employees are encouraged not to bring plastic bags, cutlery,
drinking straws or plates into the office.
Highlights:
United Nations Global Compact: Communicated our performance against Principles
7,8 & 9 and reported our commitment on Travelife platform.

5. Sustainable Procurement
By building mutually rewarding partnerships with our supply chain, we contribute to our own
business sustainability and that involves the people and the planet.
We carefully select suppliers who demonstrate responsible business practices based on
ethical, environmental and social criteria. Our expectations in the areas of human rights,
labour standards, the environment and ethical business practices are outlined in our
Supplier Code of Conduct. We encourage our suppliers to promote our shared values of
sustainable procurement within their own supply chain.
Our commitment is to ensure that all partners and suppliers align their sustainability
objectives with our own. As part of multi-year objective, we will continue to assess our
supply chain’s compliance with our Supplier Code of Conduct requirements.
Suppliers and partners help us achieve our goals and they are critical to our success. We
continued to expand their development and engagement during 2018.
In 2018 – 19, we initiated our key suppliers to raise awareness and improve sustainability
practices. A system of training, support and sharing of best practices was implemented,
leading a better alignment with our sustainability initiatives and baseline assessment.
5.3. Accommodations
Myanmar Voyages implemented Five Steps strategy to communicate with accommodations.
1. Raise awareness and think positive about sustainability: Questionnaire are sent out
to suppliers along with “Introduction to sustainability” welcome pack. Sustainability
related accommodation checklist and questions are also encouraged to ask during
the hotel inspections.
2. Integration: After 3 months of sending out the sustainability welcome pack, the
follow-up with additional checklist are sent on how they plan to integrate the
sustainable practices.
3. Ecosystem: The next step is to discover how suppliers deliver their sustainable
practices to ecosystem such as plastic waste, recycling techniques and water
reducing system. Green team members are assigned to visit the site and provide
necessary information.
4. Technology: Optional step in the first 3 years as it involves financial expenditure of
the suppliers to advance technology and promote sustainable practices such as
15

water control and recycling, automated switched on/off system and etc. If the
suppliers can adapt the technology, marketing benefits are provided to the
accommodations.
5. Redefining core business: Integrate sustainability as core vision and obtain green
certificate.
