Having a multinational footprint means that Yinson will need to consistently abide by various rules and regulations. Our financial strategies synergise with our Group-wide ESG performance. This is highlighted through our current engagements with various ESG rating providers to improve our ESG profile and sustainability-linked financing (“SLF”) opportunities. To better align our initiatives, we have revised our Sustainability Policy, as well as undertaken a new materiality assessment with our stakeholders to better pinpoint initiatives. This has led to the identification of material topics targeted by the Group . Our teams are constantly brainstorming and evaluating new approaches and opportunities of raising financial capital, to venture into new territories, collaborate with new institutions, with the purpose of increasing our growth potential and impact across the globe. Our efforts to venture into new territories and increasing impact is further highlighted as Yinson was selected to participate in a RM200 million SLF with HSBC, which upon completion will provide an improved pricing upon achieving agreed sustainability performance targets.
