HTOO Group of Companies 9 Message from the Chairman

Message from the Chairman

Togetherness, coupled with an unwavering determination to succeed, has been the driving force that transformed us from a small traditional business in an obscure town into one of Myanmar’s leading and most diversified conglomerates, thriving in an increasingly competitive environment. ”

Since the establishment of HTOO Trading Co., Ltd. in 1990, our founding pioneers have combined their vision, ideas, and efforts to lay the foundation for what would become the HTOO Group of Companies.

The journey from a modest enterprise to a multi-sector organization has not been easy. Through perseverance, adaptability, and an openness to learn from challenges, we have turned past experiences into valuable lessons — lessons that continue to fuel our growth and organizational excellence.

We remain deeply committed to fostering a culture of honesty, diligence, and teamwork — ensuring that every individual within our organization feels respected, recognized, and empowered. By nurturing this sense of pride and ownership, we continue to strengthen the foundations of our collective success.

Our ultimate aspiration extends beyond business achievement. We strive to create enduring value for all stakeholders, while making a positive impact on society and the environment.

To support this commitment, we founded the HTOO Foundation on 5 May 2008 — a non-profit, non-religious, and non-political organization dedicated to the reforestation of Myanmar’s natural forests, preservation of wildlife, and emergency relief assistance for communities affected by natural disasters. Through these initiatives, we aim to give back to the environment and the people who form the heart of our nation.

As we look ahead, we will continue to work with integrity, innovation, and teamwork — remaining steadfast in our mission to be a socially and environmentally responsible organization.

Our goal is to sustain growth that not only advances business success but also contributes to a cleaner, greener, and more prosperous future for all.
