To ensure a clear division of responsibilities, the Chairman and Group CEO have well-defined roles and responsibilities outlined in the Board Charter, which can be found on our corporate website.

Additionally, there should be no business or other relationships likely to affect, or which could appear to affect their judgment.

The revised Conflict of Interest Policy & Procedure provides a structured framework for effective identification, disclosure, and management of conflicts of interest at all levels within Yinson. Yinson’s policies serve as guiding principles, ensuring ethical conduct, transparency, and accountability across the organisation’s activities worldwide.
