Ms. Sherlyn Chan APAC Tax Manager Allnex Asia GBS Sdn Bhd

Sherlyn Chan is the APAC Tax Manager for allnex, a global leader in industrial coating resins and additives, overseeing tax matters across Asia Pacific including Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. In her role, Sherlyn works closely with finance leaders and local business teams across the region to navigate evolving tax regulations and support business growth in a dynamic operating environment. Her recent focus includes managing the impact of significant international tax developments, including the OECD Pillar Two global minimum tax rules, and understanding how sustainability-related policies and tax incentives may influence multinational business decisions. As organizations face increasing expectations around transparency, governance, and sustainable business practices, Sherlyn is interested in the evolving relationship between taxation and ESG, particularly the practical challenges multinational groups encounter when balancing compliance, competitiveness, and stakeholder expectations across diverse APAC jurisdictions. Rather than speaking as an ESG specialist, Sherlyn brings the perspective of a regional tax leader who is observing how sustainability initiatives, tax transparency expectations, green incentives, and global tax reforms are increasingly influencing business decision-making. She will discuss the challenges tax teams face in adapting to these developments across diverse Asia Pacific jurisdictions and the opportunities for tax functions to contribute to broader corporate sustainability objectives.
