Yinson Annual Report 2019

Sustainability Statement In March 2018, Yinson celebrated the commissioning of a 1,000-seater multipurpose community assembly hall in Nkroful Agricultural Senior Secondary School. Located in the town of Nkroful in theWestern Region of Ghana, the hall offers a range of useful features, including audiovisual equipment, ceiling fans, a public address system and a standby generator. The facility, which has been named Yinson Hall, exemplifies the manner by which we create the physical foundations fromwhich community development can grow. The hall will act to foster community spirit and serve as an educational resource centre and recreational centre for all those in the school and surrounding community. Sanitary facility in Kejabil In FYE 2019, we made further contributions to the development of critical infrastructure for schools through the construction of a sanitary facility at a school in Kejabil. While Yinson’s previous CSR projects have benefited those in our extended area of influence, this sanitary facility marks our commitment to helping local stakeholders within the direct reach of our operations. The facility, which was completed in 2018 at a total project cost of USD20,000, helps to support a more conducive learning environment for local community members. The new sanitary facility will also be shared by the Kejabil Catholic Primary School, serving approximately 200 children and 10 teachers in the area. The construction of the sanitary facility builds upon our track record of support for critical sanitary infrastructure development, also marked by our renovation of a sanitary facility for Apowa Health Centre in FYE 2018. In establishing the CSR Policy and Procedure, we move beyond one-off initiatives and towards long term strategic engagement projects, as befitting an organisation with our capacity to deliver positive change. Yinson Community Hall We are pleased with the successes of our building projects in FYE 2019, and we are confident that we have established facilities that will deliver long-lasting benefits to the communities in our area of influence. In keeping with the strategic approach to CSR outlined in our CSR P&P, moving forward we aim to focus our future efforts on delivering long-lasting education and social programmes to build human capital and fill local knowledge gaps. We believe this will not only fulfil our contractual obligations for local community requirements but also develop and foster our relationship with the communities in which we operate.
