Burma Business Guide
UK Trade & Investment's office in Rangoon provides a full range of UKTI services to help companies understand the market and key areas of opportunity. The 'Burma Business guide’ offers practical advice on doing business in Burma.
On 23 April 2013, the EU lifted all sanctions against Burma except the arms embargo, which remains in place. The US has lifted some of its sanctions, too, though some US restrictions remain.
The British Government urges all UK companies entering Burma to abide by international standards of corporate governance and social and environmental responsibility. In particular, this means adhering to the OECD guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, and the UN’s Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights
Corporate Social Responsibility
Myanmar Investments believes in the partnership approach to investing. This not only means partnering with entrepreneurs and companies to build great businesses but partnering with the country and the local communities.
A good business must be a sustainable business and to be sustainable in the long term requires a conscious effort to involve and give back to the host community in as many ways as possible.
In our investments we will therefore not only consider the economic aspects but also the social and environmental impact of the investment.
At the Myanmar Investments level we intend to support worthwhile causes that will contribute to the environmental and educational areas. While at the investment level we will be encouraging our companies to identify and adopt practices that will help develop the workforce and their local communities.
