Corporate Social Responsiblility

CSR has emerged as a business approach for addressing the social & environmental impact of company activities. Mostly, companies from the oil & gas sector have been at the centre of CSR development. Our Company, SMART Technical Services, also stands as a responsible corporate citizen and being good neighbors for the communities, we are working with. We always strive to balance our business objectives with the need to the well-being of the society.

SMART has over the years fruitfully initiated in CSR activities in Myanmar and supported various social communities. Now, there is a non-profit organization team lead by our SMART’s employee that takes in lead row of the CSR activities in Yangon.
