Apollo Towers Myanmar's response

29 November 2021

We have been made aware of a report by Myanmar Now entitled “Telecoms tower sites mined by Myanmar military” published on 5 November 2021.

We, Apollo Towers Myanmar Limited (“Apollo”), are an independent telecommunications tower company in Myanmar. Since its inception, Apollo has maintained a strong commitment to respect internationally recognized human rights standards and has ensured that the highest health, safety, and environmental standards are observed within our operations and with members of the public who may be affected by our operations.

The safety of all those accessing or in the vicinity of our sites, including landlords, neighbouring residents, customers, staff and contractors, is and always has been a top priority of Apollo.
