At the core of First Myanmar Investment Public Company Limited, Sustainability Strategy is one of the vehicles we use to help us achieve our mission, which it to “Build a Better Myanmar for Its People.” We strive to create long-term value through our Vision:

Investor Satisfaction

We create sustainable investment opportunities by leading with integrity and robust business practices.

Customer Satisfaction

We serve our customers by being their trusted partner to deliver the best products and services for their needs.

Employee Satisfaction

We invest in our people to build careers around a shared culture of fairness, diversity, empowerment and recognition.

Our mission and targets are aligned closely to the Myanmar Sustainable Development Plan recently published in August 2018, enabling us to create greater value for our stakeholders. Our focus on the highest standards of governance, ethics, sustainability and responsibility also reflect our commitment as one of Myanmar’s leading companies in the industry.

Within the context of our Sustainability Framework, FMI Head Office provides leadership and capital to support the operating companies in their respective areas of service delivery and operational expertise. We monitor and evaluate the sustainability performance of our operating companies in six key areas –Anti-corruption, Legal Compliance, Environment, Employee Training and Development, Diversity and Local Communities – intended to encompass and incorporate the significant Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) impacts of their operations.

Each of FMI’s major investees is actively enhancing their capacity to serve the public. Beyond mere compliance with minimum service standards, our management focuses on improving their own governance, service excellence, and social responsibility through innovation. Our investees report ESG performance separately.
