About Us
How We Work
We are a down-to-earth agency that aims to give our clients a friendly and particularly personalized experience.
Our main strengths are our experience and networks across Myanmar. This is a country where you will typically get nowhere if you don’t quickly get an informed platform to work from.
Fast communication
We are a small agency where everyone knows each other. We react instantly to inquiries and work hard to obtain the information we are requested by our clients.
Thanks to our strong networks and ability to often make things happen, we are able to save our clients a lot of time. Not all projects can be realized, naturally, and when this is the case, you will be told very quickly and you will not feel like your time has been wasted.
Friendly and personal
Our approach to business, sustainable development and alternative thinking have helped us create a vibrant environment at our Mandalay office. This creates many synergies between Golden Root and current as well as future clients who basically would just much rather work with honest and competent human beings rather than slow and occasionally arrogant international players. The latter also very rarely know what is going on on the ground.
Urban and rural interaction
We have been based at our Mandalay office since our inception. These days, we are also working on our new office at our organic farm, Area 31, which is located close to Pyin Oo Lwin, around 70 kilometres from Mandalay.
Among many other projects here, we are now creating an environment in which our friends and clients can get out of conventional office setting and be inspired by the things we can show them is possible here in Shan State’s lush surroundings. This often opens the floodgates for many new ideas and projects.
Mission
Our aim is to create a platform for transparent and sustainable investments in Myanmar. As Myanmar internationally is mainly associated with corruption and heavy bureaucracy, we strive to show our clients Myanmar’s opportunities in what we regard as a very opportune time.
We use our extensive experience and networks in Myanmar to achieve this.
Vision
We wish to help Myanmar regrow forest, re-establish responsible tourism and create jobs for youths who are suffering under poverty and a collapsed education system.
All of the above, we aim to do in an informal setting that will extend our growing community of happy souls who refuse to give up despite all the obvious challenges.
Our Values
We are a group of friends and colleagues who all just love Myanmar. In a time with rapidly decreasing investment in and media focus on our beloved country, we conduct business based on:
Check our competitors and see if you can find similar openness and insight into how we conduct business. Again, unlike our competitors, we strive to continually document our activities with words and images.
- We have never tried to fit into a mold of ties and suits. We believe that trust is based on face-to-face communication in a friendly environment where we meet each other as equals and promise nothing we cannot keep.
- Before we established Golden Root Myanmar, we were all managing our own green projects on our own properties. We have engaged local communities all the way from Mandalay to Myeik. Any investment we help facilitate must meet our strict standards of CSR and environmental impact.
