But, acting ethically is not just about complying with the formal laws and regulations that govern our business. It is about understanding that our decisions may affect those who do not have the opportunity to participate in making these decisions. With this understanding, we are able to make informed business choices that avoid violating laws and the Company’s policies.

More generally, SMART stands for:

The principle of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights

The principle of the International Labor Organization

The principle of the United Nations Global Compact Act.

In Myanmar Laws,

Penal Code (1860)

Prohibition of Corruption Act (1948)
