Keppel Corp. denies media report alleging bribery by executives

No one authorised bribes to Petrobras, it said.

Keppel Corp. has denied media reports alleging that the conglomerate's executives green-lit bribes to nab work with Petroleo Brasiliero SA.

It responded, through a regulatory filing, to a Bloomberg article dated 3 August 2016 reporting allegations made by Zwi Skornicki in criminal proceedings brought against him in Brazil.

"Keppel strongly denies the allegations reportedly made that Keppel executives authorized Mr Skornicki to pay bribes on its behalf," Keppel stated.

"None of the individuals named in the article, including the current CEO of Keppel Offshore and Marine Mr Chow Yew Yuen, have ever authorized Mr Skornicki to make any payments as bribes," it added.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
