“When the Myanmar Centre for Responsible Business embarked on the first ever baseline study of the private security industry in Myanmar, the work of ICoCA was very useful to us, and we were able to draw on the experience of similar studies conducted by ICoCA Civil Society Members in other countries. In our recommendations to companies, we were also able to reference the relevant parts of the Code, and also ICoCA’s guidance for its company Members on issues such as conducting human rights impact assessments, and prevention of sexual exploitation and abuse. This gave our recommendations more credibility within the industry.”

“The feeling of being valued and included, makes our employees feel like part of the team. At Al-Murabit we have a culture of equality in line with ICoCA’s Code; this isn’t simply the right thing to do, it is also the smart thing. Being a diverse company ensures we are innovative and better positions to move with the times. Our diverse culture is our identity!”
