81 INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT 2025 SUSTAINABILITY REVIEW | BUILDING ENVIRONMENTAL AND CLIMATE RESILIENCE WHY IS THIS TOPIC MATERIAL TO US? Biodiversity is a key focus for Yinson, aligning with our broader environmental commitments. As an energy infrastructure company, we interact with both land and marine ecosystems, making biodiversity conservation crucial for mitigating risks, ensuring compliance and protecting natural systems. With global frameworks such as the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (“TNFD”) gaining traction, there is increasing pressure for companies to assess and disclose their nature-related impacts. By proactively aligning with these standards, we demonstrate our commitment to preserving the environment and sustaining our licence to operate. MANAGEMENT APPROACH Our biodiversity management strategy is built on three pillars: responsible stewardship, rehabilitation & remediation and investments in nature. We integrate biodiversity considerations across our operations, guided by our Biodiversity Policy. Through our CSR efforts, we aim to restore degraded lands, enhance habitats and protect endangered species, contributing to SDG 15: Life on Land. Additionally, in line with SDG 14: Life Below Water, we work to prevent marine pollution and protect ecosystems, adhering to regulations like International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (“MARPOL”) and the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments. Yinson Production implements MARPOL-aligned waste management systems across our vessels, supported by Waste Management Plans and real-time sustainability performance monitoring. In Yinson Renewables, we address water-related biodiversity risks by complying with environmental regulations and exploring dry-cleaning methods to minimise water usage in new projects. Nature-related financial disclosures We are committed to supporting biodiversity in the countries where we operate. In Malaysia, our operations align with the ‘National Policy on Biological Diversity’, which reflects the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework − a commitment we have made in line with Level 3 (Leading Companies) under the CEO Action Network (CAN). We conduct Environmental Impact Assessments (“EIA“) before project commencement to integrate biodiversity considerations and ensure responsible environmental management. Recognising the importance of collective action, we participate in technical working groups, such as the Technical Working Group for the Forest Carbon Offset Protocol, remain engaged with key developments and support public policy discussions to address nature-related challenges. As a TNFD adopter, we aim to publish our first TNFD-aligned disclosures (“TNFD report”) by FY2026, enhancing our governance, transparency and biodiversity conservation efforts. ME3 Biodiversity Management Risks • Evolving regulations may pose compliance challenges, requiring constant adaptation to stay within legal frameworks. • Dependence on specific biodiversity-related resources can expose supply chain vulnerabilities. • Inadequate biodiversity management practices may lead to reputational damage, affecting relationships with stakeholders. Opportunities • Protecting biodiversity ensures continued access to crucial ecosystem services. • Biodiversity-conscious practices contribute to longterm resilience, mitigating environmental risks and ensuring sustainable resource availability. • Commitment to robust biodiversity management builds a positive brand image. Key achievements • Commit to transparent nature-related financial disclosures, aligning with the TNFD. • Strategic investments include NbS projects, high-quality carbon credit initiatives and partnerships like the MoU with MFF and collaboration with Fairatmos. • Reinforce biodiversity commitment through employee-driven initiatives, including ghost net removal, mangrove conservation, wildlife support projects and multi-location clean-up events. Strategies to reduce negative impact from operations to enhance ecosystem resilience through partnership and conservation efforts. C6 Concerned stakeholders S5 S8
