99 INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT 2025 SUSTAINABILITY REVIEW | EMPOWERING PEOPLE AND COMMUNITIES FY2025 Community engagement highlights Yinson has had a meaningful year in terms of CSR. Several initiatives that have made a significant impact on our communities are highlighted in this section. Y4Y In 2023, we launched Y4Y, our flagship CSR initiative aimed at empowering youth to pursue their aspirations for a sustainable and resilient future. The Y4Y Grant supports youth-led projects that align with our sustainability goals and deliver meaningful social and environmental impact. We recognise that the creativity and energy of young people are key drivers of positive change and long-term progress. We extend our congratulations to SOLS Foundation and SAGEMAKER ASIA PLT (“SAGEMAKER”) for being selected as the latest Y4Y grant recipients. Each organisation has been awarded RM50,000 in funding, along with mentorship sessions with Yinson leaders. About our Y4Y grant beneficiaries SOLS FOUNDATION: Driving community change through renewable energy and education SOLS Foundation’s ‘Kampung Energy and Education Access Project’ tackles energy instability and limited financial literacy among Malaysia’s Orang Asli communities – key barriers to their socio-economic advancement. In Kampung. Tompesel, Pahang, the project will install solar home systems to provide clean, affordable lighting, while also conducting workshops on budgeting, expense management, scam prevention and digital security. With support from Yinson Renewables, this initiative seeks to improve both living conditions and financial awareness within the community. Community engagement selection process We encourage our employees to propose and lead local initiatives in collaboration with like-minded organisations, including NGOs and community partners. To further support employee involvement in CSR, we offer up to four days of volunteering time off annually. Our CSR Committee oversees the implementation of CSR initiatives across the Group. This includes planning and execution through clearly defined procedures: Employees are required to exercise discretion when proposing potential CSR projects, considering economic, environmental, governance, and social impacts. The CSR Committee vets proposals to ensure projects are not used for bribery, corruption or inappropriate activities, including political campaigns. 1. Due diligence Once the CSR Committee approves the proposed project, the requesting employee is notified, granting them the mandate to proceed with implementation. 2. Implementation A project manager is appointed when a CSR initiative is approved. The project manager is responsible for providing status updates to the CSR Committee until the completion of the project. The outcome of the project will be communicated as part of project completion process. 3. Reporting SAGEMAKER: Empowering marginalised women through entrepreneurship SAGEMAKER’s project, ‘Building Community-Based, Innovative and Tech-Enabled Cottage Businesses’, is designed to uplift 100 women-led B40 households by expanding community hubs in Dengkil, Shah Alam and Puchong. These hubs serve as platforms for hands-on workshops in crafting, product design, sustainability, digital marketing and e-commerce.
