Yinson Annual Report 2019

SUPPORTING SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT It is important for Yinson that our presence in communities not be limited to the structures we can erect but linked to the positive impact we can deliver at a human level. We have therefore endeavoured to deliver a number of CSR programmes that contribute to the enrichment of our community through engagement, empowerment and support. Sustainability Statement Teach For Malaysia Foundation Yinson is pleased to support the Teach For Malaysia Foundation as a Corporate Partner. Teach For Malaysia (“TFM”) is a leadership development programme that mobilises a movement of leaders to empower the nation through education. The non-profit organisation recruits the country’s rising generation of leaders to be part of the solution to the education challenges facing today’s communities. These leaders teach as Fellows in high- needs schools across Malaysia, working with the communities to impact lives in the classroom and beyond. As a Corporate Partner, Yinson contributed RM50,000 to support a chosen Fellow. Yinson’s contribution to TFM goes towards supporting Divyang Hong, a 23-year old Electrical and Electronics Engineering graduate hailing from Sungai Petani, Malaysia. Divyang, who has been teaching in a high-needs school in the heart of Kuala Lumpur since February 2019, chose to become a TFMFellow because, as he says, “All it takes is one teacher to have faith in a student for the student to have a completely new outlook on life.” Through his work for TFM, Divyang aims to provide students with a platform to express themselves and have their voices heard. He hopes to elevate each and every student to a position where they can positively impact their school, their community and the nation. CFA Institute Research Challenge In 2018, Yinson was honoured to be selected as the research subject company for the CFA Institute Research Challenge in Malaysia. This annual global competition organised by the CFA Institute and hosted by CFA Society Malaysia provides university students with hands-on mentoring and intensive training in financial analysis. Yinson supported the challenge participants by providing 80 students from 11 universities with an in-depth knowledge sharing session led by Yinson’s investor relations team. In recognition of the students’ achievements, Yinson also organised a special session with the winning team, providing additional support for their participation in the regional finals taking place in Sydney. Yinson’s participation in this programme marks our belief in the importance of nurturing and developing high-calibre local talent through partnerships with local educational institutions. By aiding the development of a future-ready workforce, we can contribute to the longevity of our business and the security of our shared future. Yinson Holdings Berhad ANNUAL REPORT 2019 60
