Myanmar Voyages Sustainability Report 2019

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

sustainability governance meeting in December 2018. Additional information on the progress
and results can be found in following chapters.

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.
