97 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION & PROTECTION WASTE & POLLUTION MANAGEMENT DEFINITION OF MATERIAL TOPIC Responsible management of materials from acquisition to waste disposal to meet our business goals. ME2 IMPACTS GS1 GS2 GS5 GS6 S4 S8 S9 S7 S6 S3 S2 Why is this topic material to us? Yinson strives to responsibly manage the waste and pollutants generated in its business operations, to prevent detrimental impacts on the environment and biodiversity in the areas where we operate. Our offshore operating assets generate waste and pollutants that require highly specialised handling procedures. This is due to the unique nature of the waste as byproducts of oil & gas production, as well as the location of our assets in the open sea, where access to waste disposal infrastructure on land is limited. To this end, our management of waste and pollution is highly regulated and needs to be adhered to, in order to obtain our regulatory license to operate. Through effective management of our waste and pollutants, we can be assured that our business activities will minimally impact the environment while ensuring seamless operations. Management approach Waste & pollutants Waste Management Plan YP has in place a comprehensive waste management plan, which complies with the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (“MARPOL”). According to Annex V of the protocol, we must eliminate any garbage discharge from our shipboard operations to the environment via vessel-specific Garbage Management Plans, which facilitate our management of waste onboard our assets. Management of waste-related impacts YP’s onboard waste is divided into 11 different categories including: Yinson is committed towards keeping waste and potential pollutants that we may emit from our operations to a minimum. Our waste management at sea is governed by MARPOL and all of our vessels implement waste management plans and segregate waste onboard. Waste generated onboard our vessels is sent to onshore reception facilities for recycling, treatment, recovery or disposal. Waste that is not sent to shore is incinerated onboard via approved shipboard incinerators and food waste is discharged to the sea as per MARPOL’s Annex V. In unavoidable situations, we ensure that our waste and pollutants are appropriately managed in accordance with relevant regulations and best practices. Licensed waste disposal companies are engaged in the transportation and processing of offshore-generated waste.
