OUR INNITIATIVES

Environmental sustainability

Proven Group recognises a shared responsibility to protect our planet. We reduce the environmental impact of our businesses through preservation, conservation and waste management. Used lead acid batteries are recycled through Proven Group’s Yangon Metal Industry Co. Ltd., to produce high quality lead ingots. Modern recycling methods minimize lead wastage with strict emphasis on pollution control and workplace safety.

Proven Technology Industry Co. Ltd., processes lead ingots with plastic cases made by Proven Polyworld to produce new lead acid batteries. Products are rigorously tested in modern laboratories for quality assurance and customer satisfaction.

We are proud to be Myanmar’s only recognised scrap collector of batteries from international tower developers.

We strongly advocate the Reduce-Reuse-Recycle approach and we are proud to say that Proven collects more batteries than we produce.

Social Sustainability

As a leading business in Myanmar, we create employment opportunities and make a difference in the communities in which we live and work. We are an equal opportunity employer dedicated to promoting a diverse workforce and ensuring that our employees operate in safe work conditions.

We are strictly against child labour and the abuse of child workers. The minimum age for employment at Proven is 18. As a privately-held company for over 20 years, we take great pride in taking care of our employees, being good stewards in our community and partnering with other responsible organisations.

The like-minded organisations with whom we partner engage in activities that promote community service and philanthropy, and to provide support for disadvantaged groups.

Proven Group is committed to the highest standards of corporate citizenship. We will continue to improve our work places, contribute to communities we serve and ensure our actions are socially, ethically and environmentally responsible.

Economic Sustainability

Our products contribute directly to sustainable solutions for our nationwide customers. Some examples of these solutions include our ability to guarantee long life-cycle batteries to our customers, helping them save costs significantly.

We also encourage customers to swap used batteries for new ones with incentives, so they can save costs while enabling us to improve our production efficiency and operate in an environmentally sustainable manner.
