Yinson recently won second place at PwC Malaysia’s Building Trust Awards 2023 under the FBM Mid 70 Index category for its significant efforts in building stakeholder trust. Yinson also received a special mention by PwC Malaysia for its excellent performance in PwC Malaysia’s Integrated Reporting Benchmarking Analysis. 

This is the second time Yinson has been recognised in PwC Malaysia’s Building Trust Awards, with the first being joint second place with KPJ Healthcare Berhad in 2021. 

Trust-building efforts were measured through the quality of the companies’ corporate reporting and how they are perceived by their internal and external stakeholders through an employee survey and an online public poll. 12 and eight companies were shortlisted from the FBM KLCI and FBM Mid 70 Indexes respectively. 

Yinson Group Chief Financial Officer Mr Guillaume Jest, who received the award during the award ceremony, commented, “At Yinson, we firmly believe that our dedication to transparency, showcased through the enhancement of our disclosures and our continuous engagement efforts with stakeholders, notably with investors and employees, form the cornerstone of building trust. This accolade stands as a testament to our unwavering commitment to that and we are truly honoured to once again be recognised in PwC Malaysia’s Building Trust Awards.” 

“Our heartfelt congratulations go out to our fellow winners, and we extend our sincere appreciation to PwC Malaysia for this honour. We hope that this serves as an inspiration for other corporations to prioritise trust and partnership in their journeys ahead.” 

PwC Malaysia Managing Partner Mr Soo Hoo Khoon Yean said, “We are heartened by the inspiring efforts of the winning companies and finalists of our Building Trust Awards. Their actions demonstrate that trust is indeed a timeless asset that can be managed and nurtured for long term gains. There are rewards in being consistent in your interactions with stakeholders and finding new ways to create value for them throughout your trust-building journey. The achievements we observe among the companies honoured in the Awards, strengthens our commitment to our Purpose ‘to build trust in society and solve important problems’. This is the very reason we invest in our Awards and our Building Trust programme.”
