5. MBCA Responsible Business National Small & Medium Entrepreneur Responsible Business Practice seminars & workshops June 2014, YOMA Strategic Holding Ltd (YSH) and Yoma Bank Ltd agreed for Myanmar Business Coalition on Aid (MBCA) to deliver its CSR activities in Myanmar, mainly in the education sector. This is provided that Responsible Business Practices would be the main platform. Beneficiaries would be SME owners and its management team. The form of delivery would be through public seminars and workshop. These Seminars and Workshops continued into 2015, 2016 and 2017. YSH and Yoma Bank support the MBCA offices in Yangon, Mandalay and Pakokku. Workplace Advocacy Workplace advocacy sessions were carried out by MBCA staff in 3 of their 8 offices including Yangon, Mandalay, Pakokku. In 2016 over 26 workplace advocacy sessions have been carried out. Over 1,857 people attended the advocacy sessions. Over 3,812 condoms where distributed throughout these sessions. As a result: Over 236 SME owners and senior managers have a better understanding on responsible business. As a direct result of the workshops the number of SME's signing up to the UNGC has increased. Commitments by the SME owners to follow the 10 principles of the UNGC Studies of various INGO and NGO reported it that the 7 townships of Mandalay have gay communities of up to 200,000 persons. Although many of them are beauticians, in the fashion industry, florists, etc., the majority are unemployed. The gay community faces the same discriminations as in other countries (just more or less) in workplaces, educational institutions. It is not surprising that many will avoid attending school, which has cause them to be seen as less educated, less experienced and less skilled. (Not true in many cases). Due to this stigma, many of these gay people are forced to enter the sex industry, a major factor in HIV infection and transferring of the virus. That is why we are delivering messages as follows: o o Advocacy: advocating with business owners to understand and accept gay persons equality--rights to be same as all others. Seminars and workshop: to organize various seminars and workshop, individual meetings for business owners and gay representatives Volunteer to be on various seminar panels to share findings related to workplace challenges related to gay issues Livelihood network and linkage between gay communities with other non-gay community.

The Group CSR Programmes Impacts Responsible Business Continued support to schools and children in villages (educational supplies/materials) Education Continued support to schools and children in villages (educational supplies/materials) means not only impact on those children but on their families and their communities as well, since knowledge is shared and spread. Likewise, the training of YSH, FMI and SPA employees in the realms of health, work-related topics, and conduct raise their knowledge, skill and efficiency as well as impacts all those whom they share their education with. Health Pun Hlaing Silom Hospital s continual support of free clinic care and development of medical personnel to areas where medical attention is needed and unavailable. 18

Employment Support Supporting employees by providing those free uniforms and free ferry relieves them of tremendous stress and financial burden. It always reflects the Group s desire to nature its staff. Additionally, lack of need to buy and throw away clothing as well as less pollution (as taxis, private cars don t need to be used) means a positive impact on the environment. Additionally, as Yangon becomes more congested, staff do not need to worry that they will not arrive on time for work or meetings. Light & Water The Gift of Light s Community Light Centers provide a safe, communal area where children and youths can play, study and socialize. It always provide potential market space and work space for adults as they do not have electricity in their homes. In most off-grid villages in Myanmar, Solar Home Systems or torchlights, provide villages with light for a few hours at night. The CLCs take away some of the villagers burdens of needing light. Provision of tube wells, tanks, piping, and clean water to those who need it means that entire villages are improved health-wise and sanitation wise. It also means an increase in agriculture and other types of labor. Tube wells, tanks and piping can be too expensive for villagers to afford themselves, as they may use hand pumps (manual) or DG-run pumps that cost them a great deal of money (as diesel prices fluctuate). 7. Conclusions and Recommendations It is important that the group builds on all the success stories mentioned in sections 2.1 to 2.17 as well as the Responsible Business Seminars/trainings run by MBCA. CSR is not just about the work being done to benefit those outside the company - those in desperate need of help, but it is also an inwardlooking process as well. It is another way to give back - one that makes sure that the company is being responsibly run, that the staff are being looked after, and the company is complying with the 10 initiatives of the UN Global Compact. The SPA and FMI websites have a number of policies uploaded as pdfs and within the web text regarding important topics such as Anti-Corruption, Environment, and Restoration and Livelihoods. The Group has been applauded in both the years of 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 as transparent and responsible. Wherever projects are done, there is assessment and effort to create the least negative impact and greatest positive impact possible. Our philosophy to teach a man to fish and feed him for life has had many success, especially within the SME communities. The Group should continue to make excellent their CSR efforts by making them more sustainable. For example, instead of simply donating an amount of cash to a village, perhaps it would be possible to help them create a village committee that will manage this money, help them open a bank account, and teach them how to make the money last for the longest possible amount of time. This vision of CSR sustainable, long-lasting and as a capacity-builder is the next step of evolution. 19

CSR can be seen in three ways as philanthropy, risk management, and shared value. Philanthropic CSR means cash donations or donations of time to do volunteer work. Risk Management CSR includes training, policies, safety measures, and all other items that reduce the company s risk of poor conduct or irresponsibility. Risk Management CSR also makes the company more efficient and a better place for employees to work. Shared value CSR is CSR that creates capacity building. Examples of shared value CSR include: training employees or teaching English language/computer/work related topics to a community, and teaching farmers farming methods or how to choose and use pesticides/herbicides, etc. The CSR impact is long-lasting and those who learn can spread the knowledge to others. The three types are not mutually exclusive. For example, training can fall under both risk management CSR and shared value CSR. Donations of cash, which last only for a certain amount of time and only impact the immediate community, can only be considered as philanthropy, however. This doesn t mean it is not a good thing. The highest aim of CSR is to have impact on the greatest amount of people for the longest amount of time and with the least amount of money possible. This makes the CSR sustainable and it makes it a shared value form of CSR. It is possible for the Group to adopt more and more of this type of shared value CSR. Capacity building, both within and without the Group, would benefit all and provide positive impact on the country as a whole. 20
