Board Statement
OVERVIEW OF SUSTAINABILITY
The Board is pleased to present the Fraser and Neave, Limited ("F&N" or the "Group") third Sustainability Report in accordance with the internationally recognised Global Reporting Initiatives ("GRI") Standards (Core) which is in compliance with the Singapore Exchange's ("SGX") Listing Rules 711A and 711B. This report encapsulates the Group's overarching approach to sustainability, providing greater clarity to our stakeholders on material issues from Environmental, Social and Governance ("ESG") factors that may impact our business, as well as strategies that we have implemented to mitigate these risks. This year, we made great strides toward achieving ambitious 2020 sustainability goals. Each of the Group's commitments and targets are described in detail on pages 23 to 25 of this report. We remain committed to reducing our environmental impact, enhancing the Group's economic value, fostering mutually beneficial relationships with our communities and ensuring the health and safety of our staff.
As one of the leading consumer groups in Singapore and the region, we will continue to anchor sustainability in the Group and advance toward a sustainable circular economy.
SUSTAINABILITY GOVERNANCE The Board has overall responsibility for sustainability and incorporates sustainability issues as part of its strategic formulation. While it continues to take the lead in the Group's sustainability direction, the Board has tasked the Sustainability and Risk Management Committee ("SRMC") with responsibility for steering the Group's sustainability efforts. The SRMC is supported by the Sustainability Development Committee ("SDC"), which is chaired by Mr Lee Meng Tat, Chief Executive Officer, Non-AlcoholicBeverages and comprises business CEOs and senior executives across various functions.
The SDC supports the SRMC and monitors the progress of the Group's sustainability initiatives.
2020 AND BEYOND
Today, the responsibility to do even more than what we have done so far to transform F&N, sustainably, is even greater. As one of the leading consumer groups in Singapore and the region, we will continue to anchor sustainability in the Group and advance toward a sustainable circular economy.

OVERVIEW OF 2019 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
GRI 102-14
At F&N, sustainability is an integral part of our operations. F&N's vision is to be a stable and sustainable Food & Beverage ("F&B") leader in the ASEAN region, and in the following pages, we provide an insight into how F&N shows leadership for the sustainability challenges faced.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the GRI Standards (Core), which represent global best practice in sustainability reporting. By adhering to GRI Standards, we are able to demonstrate performance for F&N's material sustainability issues consistently over time. We have improved our data collection processes
by aligning and integrating them with the Thai Beverage Public Company Limited's ("ThaiBev") parameters.
ThaiBev has been a member of the DJSI World and DJSI Emerging Markets since 2016, and constantly works on improving their sustainability processes through learning and best practice sharing. They first became the Beverages industry leader in the RobecoSAM Corporate Sustainability Assessment in 2018 and continues to retain the title in 2019.
By benchmarking our sustainability processes and performance against the industry leader, we ensure that our processes and performance would further improve through best practices sharing and knowledge transfer.
BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE | 05 |
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PROGRESS IN 2019 For the first time this year, we have external verification on the sustainability data disclosed in this report. Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance ("LRQA") has conducted an external assurance on selected F&N HSE disclosures. The external assurance serves to ensure the accuracy of the sustainability data disclosed in this report. LRQA's assurance statement can be found on page 92 of this report.
Created by the global index provider FTSE Russell, the FTSE4Good Index Series is designed to measure the performance of companies demonstrating strong ESG practices. This year, our subsidiary, Fraser & Neave Holdings Bhd ("F&NHB"), has been rated by FTSE4Good Bursa Malaysia Index ("F4GBM") with positive results, and included as part of the F4GBM. This indicates the strong ESG practices in place at F&NHB.
Consumer Health and Safety is our most important sustainability topic and has been key to the success of our business over the decades. I am glad that we continue to lead in this area. 90% of our ready-to-drink ("RTD") beverages sold today in Malaysia contain less than 5g of sugar per 100ml (below the sugar sweetened beverages excise duty threshold) and consumers have responded positively to the reformulated products. This ensures that we continue to provide healthier beverages, which do not compromise on taste, to our consumers. More information regarding other initiatives promoting good health and safety for our consumers can be located on page 77 of this report.
Waste generated by packaging has been increasingly in the spotlight globally. The material issue of Packaging has consequently been adjusted in the F&N materiality matrix to reflect its high importance to F&N. We are committed to sourcing sustainably and supporting efforts to reduce the usage of packaging materials. At the Singapore Packaging Agreement ("SPA") Awards 2019 held on 17 Jul 2019, F&N Foods Pte Ltd ("FNFS") had received a Merit Award for its initiative to reduce the packaging used while still maintaining the integrity and quality of the product. With support from the National Environment Agency ("NEA") in Singapore,
FNFS had also launched a nationwide recycling initiative, Recycle N Save, on 31 Oct 2019. 50 Smart Reverse Vending Machines ("RVM") are scheduled to be placed island-wide by March 2020 in a bid to encourage the public to recycle the packaging of their consumed beverages. With the launch of this initiative, F&N reinforces its commitment to play its part in protecting the environment by ensuring that its packaging is environmentally friendly, and at the same time, encouraging and rewarding consumers who recycle the cans and bottles. At Times Printers, packaging waste is also reduced by decreasing the amount of paper used for the packing of books and magazines through reusing the aluminium plate interleaf paper and the slit waste from the paper reel outer roll.
At the heart of our sustainability approach is Innovation. We encourage employee-driven innovation at dedicated conventions where teams submit ideas for continual improvement and showcase their projects to share learnings and knowledge to help improve the efficiency and product quality of F&N's manufacturing operations. Our employees at F&N Dairies Thailand ("F&NDT") initiated the award winning Gemba Kaizen project at Rojana Plant where the team re-looked the mechanism of the display box at the packing line and incorporated the Karakuri Kaizen mechanism (leveraging on gravitational energy). This innovation in production contributed towards significantly reducing the packing line's electricity usage and frequency of machine faults.
PLANS FOR 2020
2020 will be an exciting year for sustainability at F&N. The 2020 Group sustainability performance will be assessed against our 2020 Group sustainability targets. This outcome will impact the setting of the new 2025 Group sustainability targets, which are slated to commence in 2021. We will also engage a range of stakeholders to determine our new material topics and materiality matrix for 2021. We will continue to embed sustainability throughout our business, and lead by example for long-term value creation.
F&N appreciates your interest in our 2019 Sustainability Report and is very grateful for your continuous support.

About F&N
WHO WE ARE
GRI 102-2 to 102-10
F&N originated more than a century ago from the spirited decisions of two enterprising young men, John Fraser and David Neave, who diversified from their printing business to pioneer the aerated water business in Southeast Asia ("SEA") in 1883.
The entrepreneurial spirit, embodied by our founders, remains in today's F&N. As a soft drink company, F&N seized the growth opportunities and ventured into the beer brewing business in 1931 in partnership with The Heineken Company and built a very successful beer empire in Asia Pacific - through its joint venture company, Asia Pacific Breweries Limited ("APB"). In 1959, it entered the Dairies business by forming a canned milk joint venture with Beatrice Foods of Chicago, and in 2007, it acquired Nestle's liquid canned milk business in Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei, and accelerated its growth in the dairy business. Today, F&N is the largest canned milk producer in SEA. In 1985, the Group diversified into the Properties business. Starting with the redevelopment of its soft drinks and brewery sites in Singapore, F&N soon grew its property arm - Frasers Centrepoint Limited ("FCL", now known as Frasers Property Limited) to become one of the leading property companies in Singapore with multi-national businesses in residential, hospitality, retail, commercial and industrial properties.
Listed on the Singapore Stock Exchange, F&N ranks as one of the most established and successful companies in the region with an impressive array of renowned brands that enjoy strong market leadership. F&N is present in 11 countries spanning Asia Pacific, Europe and the USA, and employs over 7,700 people worldwide.
There have been no significant changes to F&N's operations, ownership or supply chain during the past year. The Group's operating businesses are organised according to products and services, namely F&B Division (Non-Alcoholic and Beer) and Publishing & Printing Division.
F&N is headquartered in Singapore. We have 17 production facilities in Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, China and Myanmar which are serving the needs of customers and consumers in the Asia Pacific region.
Founded in
1883
In 2012, F&N divested its equity stake in APB to realise a substantial value for shareholders. In 2014, the Group demerged FCL through a listing on the Singapore Stock Exchange, thereby transferring value to shareholders.
Today, F&N is a leading Asia Pacific Consumer Group with expertise and prominent standing in the F&B and Publishing & Printing industries. Leveraging its strengths in marketing and distribution, research and development ("R&D"), brands and financial management, as well as years of acquisition experience, the Group provides key resources and sets strategic directions for its subsidiary companies across both industries.

Our Supply Chain
The preparation, production and packaging of our beverages and consumables for printing requires a range of raw materials, equipment, and other goods and services. In FY2019, we engaged with over 4,500 global and local suppliers across our supply chain. F&N worked with manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, importer/merchants, contractors, professional services providers, etc and spent a total of about $1.5 billion on products and services.
Sourcing
To provide the highest quality standards for our customers and consumers, we have also been seeking out and working with suppliers who meet high quality in standards and are socially, ethically and environmentally responsible. To ensure the sustainability of our business, we have risk management mechanisms in place to manage issues associated with the commodities upon which we rely.
Production
We have implemented a standardised safe production process, in accordance with international standards, throughout our operations. We strive for eco- efficient processes, in which we optimise the socio-economic value we create, while minimising our negative environmental and social impacts from all production stages.
Distribution
We have a fully integrated and extensive distribution system to ensure that our products are efficiently distributed to our customers and consumers. Our focus is to minimise the environmental and social impacts from transportation by managing energy usage while safeguarding the safety of our personnel and local communities. We also continuously innovate our processes and implement digital technologies to drive efficiency.
Marketing and Sales
Responsible marketing and sales practices are of great importance to F&N. We demonstrate societal responsibility by providing healthier product options and informative product labels. We also work with regulators and seek feedback from our customers on our products to improve our marketing practices.
Post-Consumption Packaging Management
We minimise the impact of post-consumer waste by delivering innovative and environmental-friendly packaging. We continuously seek out sustainable packaging that also meets the needs of our consumers. In addition to applying Circular Economy principles throughout F&N, we also promote environmental awareness in the communities we operate.

MANAGEMENT AND GOVERNANCE
STRUCTURE
F&N Board of Directors recognises the importance of sustainability in the Group's business operations and performance and oversees the overall strategic plan including considering sustainability and environmental issues as part of its strategic formulation.
The SRMC ensures sustainability risks and opportunities are considered at the highest level of F&N by providing strong support to the management team. The SRMC has the responsibility of steering and aligning company-wide sustainability strategy.
Headed by CEO Non-Alcoholic Beverages, and supported by senior personnel from key functions, regions and levels, the SDC supports the SRMC by providing general direction, monitoring and reporting the progress of F&N's sustainability projects.
The SDC is supported by the Sustainability Development Working Team, which consists of cross-functional representatives that takes on the various roles of: Sustainability Reporting Secretariat; Pillar Heads; Sustainability Initiative Champions; and Data Owners. Together, they monitor the progress of designated goals, drive initiatives at operational level, identify challenges in performance, and gather data for reporting.
In FY2019, the SRMC and SDC each convened three times on sustainability matters.
All F&N Directors and employees pledge to adhere to F&N's Code of Business Ethics & Conduct, which includes principles related to integrity, respect and excellence. The Code is reviewed with new employees as part of their induction programme, while updates are communicated to staff by email and are also made available on our intranet.

OUR MATERIAL ISSUES
We undertook our first materiality assessment in 2017 to assess our most important sustainability issues. This assessment was based on three steps: Identification; Prioritisation; and Validation.
Step 1
Identification
We conducted a comparative analysis of sustainability issues identified by global initiatives (such as the Sustainable Development Goals) and best practices of industry peers in the industry. These issues were discussed with the SDC to identify issues most material to F&N. We also surveyed our employees to obtain their views and seek further confirmation on the key issues. A list of 15 material issues were identified.
Step 3 | Step 2 |
Validation | Prioritisation |
We were able to develop a preliminary | To prioritise the material sustainability issues |

an in-depth discussion of each identified | |
material sustainability issue, including the | |
likelihood of impacts to our business and | |
stakeholders, and the extent to which they | |
would affect our sustainability. Each material | |
issue was then plotted, based on importance, | |
on a scale from moderate to high. |

Our Sustainability Approach
FY2019 MATERIALITY MATRIX
Following the initial materiality assessment in 2017, we review and update our 15 materiality issues every year to identify priority sustainability issues across our value chain.
Over the past year, public awareness on plastics waste have grown considerably, both globally and locally, and is now an issue of key importance
to business, governments and the public. The Singapore government has designated 2019 as the "Year Towards Zero Waste" while the Malaysian Government published a 'Roadmap Towards Zero Single-use Plastics 2018-2030'. At F&N, the SDC has also assessed that the 'Packaging' materiality topic is increasingly important to F&N's business and its stakeholders
and has shifted it to the upper right quadrant of the materiality matrix.
For a more holistic reporting, this year we had subsumed:
-
the 'Health and Nutrition' topic under
'Consumer Health and Safety' and 'Creating
Value for Society'; and - the 'Route Planning' topic under 'Energy
& Climate Change' to be aligned with the circular economy approach.
As at FY2019, the Group has now 13 materiality issues.

By mapping our material issues to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals ("UN SDGs"), we have aligned our business and sustainability goals to contribute to the UN SDGs. This allows us to focus on how our sustainability initiatives for each material issue translate towards fulfilling the respective UN SDGs.
F&N will conduct a materiality assessment exercise in 2020 to help ensure our strategy is focused in the right areas, to assess the changing sustainability landscape and to understand and prioritise the issues that matter to our business and our stakeholders.

Our Sustainability Approach
CIRCULAR ECONOMY
A circular business model can be defined as the way an organisation creates, delivers and captures value with and within closed material loops and chains. F&N is committed to work towards a more circular economy by preserving the value of resources for as long as possible, and applying circular economy principles of:
- prioritising renewable inputs;
- keeping products and materials in use; and
- recovering by-products and waste.
Our approach to managing materiality topics is guided by these principles. More than half of our materiality topics have links to circular economy:
- Innovation: we creatively design new solutions for products and processes which contribute to resource efficiency and the prevention of waste;
- Water Stewardship: we manage water use and recover and reuse water where possible;
- Effluents and Waste: we minimise waste
(in production and post-consumption) and help to create by-products from the residual liquid and solid waste; - Packaging: we reduce raw materials needed and aim to ensure that packaging can be recycled, reused or composted;
- Energy and Climate Change: we reduce our energy needs, use renewable and/or recover energy from our operations;
- Sustainable Sourcing: we favour suppliers whose environmental practices adhere to circular economy principles; and
-
Creating Value for Society: we raise awareness, for example, through our School
Recycling Programmes.

Driving Economic Value
2020 Target:
To invest in product and process innovation to increase our product range and improve efficiency and productivity.
INNOVATION
Innovation is central to long-term value creation. We continuously evolve to deliver new and unique product offerings which cater to consumers' changing needs, for example, towards more beverage choices, flexibility and affordability. Through innovation, we also improve the operational efficiency of our manufacturing processes and better manage our impacts on the environment. The idea of the 'circular economy'-of decoupling our activities from the consumption of finite resources-is one
which drives us to make continual improvements. We continuously innovate for longer shelf life and better recyclability of our products.
Over the past year, we launched new products with lower sugar content and more convenient packaging to meet the diverse needs of our customers. We have also been implementing employee-driven innovative manufacturing processes that increased productivity and improved environmental performance.
OUR INNOVATIVE FRAMEWORK
PRIORITY
AREAS
Continuous improvement to deliver high-quality innovative beverage products to consumers.
More new products to expand our target consumer groups.
EXTERNAL
COLLABORATION
Collaborate with authorities such as Singapore's Health Promotion Board, Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority, Ministry of Health, Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers and Thailand's Food and Drug Administration to adhere to food safety regulations and support national health priorities.
Collaborate with research institutes to access cutting-edge research and scientific studies to discern the efficacy of our products.
INNOVATION
CULTURE
Develop products based on scientific research, consumer insights
and tastes relevant to evolving Asian lifestyles.
Constantly refine our products to meet the changing needs of consumers and ensure consistent delivery of good taste and the right nutritional values.
BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE | 29 |
Our Approach
Our R&D unit is based in Singapore and supported by teams in Malaysia and Thailand. The unit drives
innovation and supports ongoing renovation of our products to ensure consistent delivery of good tasting and healthy products to consumers.
Our R&D are guided by the following five principles:
Scientific advances | Regulatory | ||
for application | compliance | ||
in our processes | of our local and | ||
Innovation & creation and products. | Technical | export business. | Quality products |
of products and | developments | that meet food | |

In 2019, the F&N-NTU F&B Innovation Lab was opened in Singapore to develop innovative products and recipes. In line with F&N's commitment
to deliver sustainable business practices, this collaboration with Nanyang Technological University ("NTU") will see the furthering of our green efforts,

as well as catering to the health and nutritional needs of our consumers. The collaboration will foster circular economy research that will result in better food products, greener packaging and the conversion of spent product produced from food processing into valuable resources.
Consumer-Focused Innovation
At F&N, we continuously deliver new and unique product offerings to meet consumers' evolving needs. We strive to deliver our "Pure Enjoyment. Pure Goodness" promise to our consumers by offering: choices in different product categories, healthier options without compromising on taste and convenience through differentiation in packaging to cater to customers' needs.
We draw upon local knowledge to develop products that our consumers love. We launched several new products during FY2019, with each one undergoing comprehensive tests, before they even reach
the shelves, to ensure that they are safe for our consumers and of the desired quality.

BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
Healthier Options
We invest heavily in the development of healthier products and in extending product options to best suit the expectations of different types of consumers. Over the past 15 years, we have made significant efforts to reduce the sugar content across our range of beverages: in 2004, our beverages contained an average 9.5g/100ml of sugar, and this has fell over 39% to 5.3g/100ml in 2019.
This year, we have successfully reformulated our product portfolio in Malaysia, aimed at improving the health and well-being of customers. Today, about 90% of our RTD beverages sold in Malaysia are healthier options (below the sugar sweetened beverages excise duty threshold in Malaysia).
More information on our healthier options can be found in the 'Consumer Health and Safety' chapter.
Increased Convenience
We differentiate our products' packaging to cater to the different needs of consumers. For example, due to the demand for greater convenience,
we launched the F&N Sweetened Condensed Milk Squeeze Tube and single serve 'Stix'. These are portable and convenient to use, as well as providing more suitable portion sizes, and hence contributes to consumer health and safety. These innovative products come in 3 flavours including full cream, strawberry and chocolate.
We are conscious of our responsibility to manage the environmental impacts associated with
our product packaging. We have implemented innovative processes to reduce the PET resin used in packaging of key products (as detailed on page 59), and we are continuously seeking solutions to go even further in reducing our post-consumption waste (as detailed on page 47).
Process Innovation
Our R&D and Manufacturing teams continuously seek out the most up-to-date technical and scientific advances to improve the efficiency of our operations while minimizing environmental impacts. Over the years, we have implemented innovative technologies to reduce post-consumption waste, automate processes to enhance efficiency and improve fleet efficiency and safety.

Future Ready Investments
This year, we have invested approximately $50 million in capital to elevate our product innovations and drive cost competitiveness. Process innovation projects implemented are described in F&NHB's Annual Report 2019, and include:
- 200 bpm drinking water line and warehouse at Kota Kinabalu Industrial Park, Sabah, Malaysia
- New product development transformation programme, including reformulating products with lower sugar and new product packaging
- Sophisticated Automated Storage Retrieval System ("ASRS") for our new warehouse at Shah Alam plant, Malaysia
- Solar roofing to generate renewable energy at Rojana Plant, Thailand
Drawing on innovative technologies to produce Healthier and Better Products
-
Aseptic Cold-Filling Polyethylene Terephthalate ("PET") line
The Aseptic Cold-Filling PET line at the Shah Alam plant has been producing 100PLUS Active, F&N SEASONS, and OYOSHI since March 2018. Employing state-of-the-art technology, the new line allows the use
of thinner, lightweight containers, thereby reducing the use of PET resin packaging material by over 208 metric tonnes
in FY2019.
The new line is able to maintain a sterile environment within the aseptic chambers for 156 consecutive hours, meaning less production downtime and also allows us to bottle our products gently, with no additional thermal stress and no added preservatives.
This has accelerated our expansion into more product offerings, such as the 3 new healthier variants of F&N SEASONS - Watermelon Lychee Tea, Apple Pomegranate Tea and
Pu-Erh Chrysanthemum Tea.

Driving Economic Value
- New ASRS Warehouse
To further optimise operational and cost efficiency, we have invested about $26 million in an ASRS at our new integrated warehouse at Shah Alam plant. It will commence operation in Quarter 2 of FY2021.
The ASRS will manage the automated process of getting finished goods ready for delivery to market or to the distributor's warehouse. This system will improve operational efficiency and drive cost competitiveness.

Excel as One Convention ("EAO")
EAO (previously known as "Winning as One") is an annual convention held for the past
13 years in Thailand to allow cross-functional F&N teams to present their ideas to enhance our productivity, cost savings and/or product quality.
This year's convention was held in August 2019 with the theme of "Continuous Improvement
- Innovation Excellence". Teams successfully identified solutions which resulted in cost savings or cost avoidance of THB18.44 million (approximately $800,000) per year.
This year's convention saw continuous improvement activities at the Small Group Activities, Kaizen and Quality Control Circle. New awards were given for the Innovation category and Lean category.
Employee-driven Innovation
We empower our employees to lead when it comes to innovation. Our employees actively participate in ThaiBev's Way of Work ("WOW") Awards, an annual award to promote the concept to improve work processes (Simplicity), enhance capabilities (Efficiency) and Competitiveness.
19 teams from F&NHB participated this year and won the 3rd runner-up award for an enterprise workflow improvement project and 1st runner up award for a project on 'Quality Excellence'.
Continuous Improvement Project
This year, our employees, at F&NDT, initiated a Gemba Kaizen project at the Rojana plant encouraging continuous improvements to enhance processes and reduce costs. Through this project, the team reviewed the mechanism of display boxes at the packing line and incorporated the Karakuzi Kaizen mechanism (leveraging gravitational energy). This initiative has reduced electricity consumption in the packing line and reduced the frequency of machine jams by almost 90% and was recognised by the Technology Promotion Association (Thailand-Japan) 2019 in the Thailand Kaizen Award 2019 with a gold medal.
Lean Production Management
We recognise that lean management is important in our production. Our employees at Rojana plant initiated a project to increase productivity of the Sweetened Beverage Creamer production line through effective packaging materials, storage and transportation. The team improved the process flow, including: designing and building a storage room near to the filling room to reduce travel distances for forklifts; reducing the lead time of changing foil roll to reduce downtime; and installing a roller conveyor machine to reduce workload. This project will help to achieve annual cost savings of THB13 million (approximately $600,000) and at the same time reduce the risk of accidents caused by forklifts.
Digital Efficiency
In Malaysia, we implemented an Enterprise Workflow project which digitised, simplified and integrated the processes of our sales team with the IT application. Through this project, sales colleagues can perform sales transactions with the web-based system anywhere and anytime.
This resulted in reducing the processing time from an average of 14 days to just a day (with an associated reduction of administration time of about 10 hours per month for our sales team). Paper usage for our sales team has also reduced by 70%.

Our People
Our people differentiate F&N from its peers and determine our success. We strive to create a stimulating work environment where talent is nurtured and rewarded, and employees are engaged, challenged and empowered to perform to their highest potential. We constantly look to hire and retain talent who will enable us to maintain our competitive edge and expand in the international market. F&N contributes to the UN SDG 8's target to achieve full and productive employment and decent work for all.
In this section, we describe the core elements of our Talent Management strategy, which is driven by our Human Capital Roadmap 2020 and 7 Modules for Strategic Human Capital Transformation.

Our Approach
We recognise the importance of diversity in terms of cultural background and age, as well as having a good gender balance, to enrich the workplace with fresh perspectives that help us to meet our business objectives.
F&N strives to offer equal opportunities for all people without regard to race, gender, religion and any other factor unrelated to employment requirement. We comply strictly with prevailing legislation on employment rights in our countries of operation
including no hiring of minors. In Singapore, F&N employs older staff beyond the statutory requirement age of 62 as we support older employees who desire to find employment opportunities beyond retirement.
In terms of gender, while the number of female employees stands at about 38% of total employees, our positive approach to gender equity can be seen by women representing around 44% of total managerial positions.
As of 30 Sep 2019, F&N has over 7,700 employees. Most work full-time and about 85% are on a permanent contract. Around 30% of employees have been with F&N for over 10 years and in the past year our employee turnover rate was about 19%.

Human Capital Roadmap and Strategy
F&N has a strategic plan to establish ourselves as a preferred employer. This is guided by our Human
Capital Roadmap to 2020, and specifically our 7 Modules for Strategic Human Capital Transformation. Each is explained in more details below.
Human Capital Roadmap
- Clear Structure and Roles
We use the 'Beverest' TPMS to integrate our Human Capital processes and systems across the Group. This helps us to make sure that each employee is aware of the expectations and responsibilities for their role, their team and for the Group as a whole. Beverest TPMS is the foundation for a range of Human
Capital-related processes, from recruitment and on-boarding to career development. - Market-OrientedCompensation and Benefits
We pay employee competitive wages and offer competitive benefits. In addition, the Group carries out regular reviews to ensure that our remuneration packages
remain in line with its peers' and in harmony throughout the Group. Benefits provided to full-time employees include life insurance, health care, disability and invalidity coverage, parental leave, retirement provision, and stock ownership options (share-based incentive plans).
F&N's Human Capital policies go beyond standard labour regulations and statutory requirements.
This year, three unions in Malaysia have adopted performance bonus terms in their terms and conditions of employment. This is the start of extending the performance-based reward culture to our production employees.

3. Recognition-based Performance Management
Employees collaborate with their supervisors to set SMART goals and KPIs for the year.
A Performance Assessment Review takes place twice a year to appraise outcomes and identify development opportunities.
Our policy is to support the provision of 'Limitless Opportunities' to employees from the moment they join the company and our approach supports Individual Development
Plans ("IDP"). There are four stages to our IDP approach:

4. Holistic High Performer Retention and Development
We give every employee the opportunity to grow with the company and contribute to a high-performing, sustainable organisation. It is part of the culture at F&N that each employee is supported to implement their IDP, using the 70/20/10 Learning Model:
During the year, more than 1,000 employees attended a series of informal knowledge- sharing sessions (more than 1,900 hours) covering a wide range of topics, including: DIY Analytics; Industry 4.0; Skills Future Advice Workshop; Lunch Talks; Mindfulness; Nutrition
- Weight Management; First Aid Awareness
-
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation; Corporate Compliance; Tax; and Online Cyber Security
Training.
These sessions provide great opportunities to learn about a range of technical and nontechnical issues and strengthen relationships between colleagues throughout the company.

Proactive Succession and Workforce Planning
Through our annual Talent Review and
Succession Planning process, we identify employees who have the potential to become future leaders at F&N. Working alongside the Talent Management team, identified future leaders chart their individual career development pathways to ensure they are in the best position to succeed at a high level.
Talent Management is closely linked with succession planning, and in combination, provide us with a steady pipeline of future leaders who are able to support our business needs. Initiatives, including job rotations, transfers and project assignments, allow exposure to the various operations within the company. - Engaging Corporate Culture
F&N promotes a culture of engagement and inclusion. At the heart of this are our Global Values which emphasise that optimal outcomes happen when we work together. We saw an overall participation of about 230 employees at our Global Values sessions in Singapore this year, from workshops to townhall sessions.
Some of our main activities were a paper holding game, marshmallow and sticks challenge and balloon tower game. The objective was to encourage effective communication, teamwork and practical problem-solving skills, all of which are core principles behind Global Values.
Senior management interact with employees through various channels such as town hall meetings and briefings, CEO roadshow sessions, intranet updates and quarterly employee email newsletters.
Employees are encouraged to partake in sports and other physical activities through our in-house gym facilities, membership of internal sports clubs, and in employee badminton or golf tournaments. F&N involves employees
in a wide range of activities to promote togetherness and collaboration, such as the
'Fit & Nature' plogging activity and community outreach to spread festive cheer.
An engaging culture also means an active feedback platform. At F&NHB, employees are encouraged to share real-time feedback, ideas and suggestions directly with senior management via F&N Voice, a WhatsApp mobile messaging platform.

Caring for F&N Family Since 2003, F&NHB has been presenting the Chairman's Award to academically high-achievingchildren of employees. The award is
an employee appreciation initiative and provides motivation for their children to strive for excellence. About $66,000 in cash was awarded to about 100 recipients this financial year. To date, F&NHB has disbursed about $1.3 million to over 2,000 children through this programme.
7. Strategic Talent Acquisition and On-boarding
F&N strives to promote from within and maximise opportunities for the excellent talent already available to us. Where this is not possible, our Human Capital team ensures that we are able to recruit and welcome external applicants with abilities that match the Group's needs. Our interviewers are trained to ensure that the interview process is fair and effective.
Our Beverest TPMS is used to ensure that all new recruits benefit from a comprehensive and consistent on-boarding programme across the Group. This includes a mix of self-servee-learning and one-on-one support.
Our 'Future-ready Manager Programme' ensures that we replenish and grow our pool of future executives. We use a variety of assessment tools as part of a rigorous process to recruit the most suitable candidates. As soon as they join the team, the successful candidates begin a formal two-year programme to get a wide variety of experience.

Enhancing Social
Well-being
At F&N, we believe that sustainable business development occurs when our communities develop alongside us. This firstly means that we ensure our operations minimise negative impacts on our surrounding communities, and it also means that we strategise our investments to create value where the strengths of our business intersect with the needs of society.
In the next section, we detailed our commitment and initiatives to strengthen vulnerable groups, promote environmental protection and support active lifestyles.

CREATING VALUE FOR SOCIETY
GRI 413-1
Our Approach
In each market that we operate, we undertake a number of long and short-term programmes that serve to create greater social equity. To that end, we have developed four main thematic areas where we focus our community endeavours:
1. Strengthening Vulnerable Groups
Inequality of wealth and opportunity is a major global challenge. Our consumers and employees come from all segments of society and inequality undermines the development and potential of both our business and our communities. To take leadership in tackling this issue, we have chosen to focus on
strengthening vulnerable groups such as underprivileged children. Through investing in educational programmes including both technical skills and soft skills, F&N works towards promoting a more equal society in terms of diversity, equal opportunities and social inclusion, where business and society together flourish.
Our Target:
We will continue to provide outreach and engagement programmes across Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand by exploring and implementing appropriate outreach programmes to address community needs.

Enhancing Social Well-being
- Promoting Environmental Consciousness
While companies have a critical role to play in minimizing environmental footprint, sustainable development means a partnership, and this includes behavioural changes at the individual level. Besides maintaining eco-efficiency in our operations (see pg. 76-94), we have taken the task of promoting environmental consciousness in our communities as another priority. As F&N continues to move towards a circular economy model of business, we are sharing lessons and also learning from communities about how to implement our ideas. - Spreading Festive Cheer
In addition to basic needs and environmental sustainability, our community development programme includes a priority related to our brand promise, which is delivering
Our Performance Highlights
GRI 413-1
"Pure Enjoyment. Pure Goodness" to all.
We believe that spreading festive cheers helps our communities connect with each other and strengthen relationships between different cultures. Here, we aim to promote diversity and fosters national unity in our communities.
4. Promoting Healthy Lifestyle & Nutrition
As a F&B business, F&N's products contribute to the health and well-being of our communities. Therefore, we consider it our obligation to facilitate responsible consumption and balanced lifestyles. This is mostly accomplished through the consumption of F&N products to maintain a healthy lifestyle in line with consumer needs. We also prioritise community investments that support sports and active lifestyles to better care for our consumers while also creating value for communities.

Enhancing Social Well-being
1. Strengthening Vulnerable Groups
MALAYSIA: Empowering Youths with Basic Computer Skills F&NHB continued to provide youths from underprivileged backgrounds at Montfort Boys Town with opportunities
to develop their capabilities and reach their full potential, through the ICDL certification course.
The ICDL course, held since 2011, is part of the F&NHB IT Corner programme which was established in 2010. Designed for youth with different levels of digital literacy, the ICDL course helps beginners improve and fully grasp basic computer skills for common real-world application.
F&NHB has so far invested about $62,000 in the programme. To date, over 500 students from Montfort Boys Town have successfully graduated from the ICDL course and have found suitable placements in the working world.
MALAYSIA: Free Kindergarten & Tuition Classes
The collaboration between F&NHB and KCHF is part of the F&NHB E.L.I.T.E. programme which provides educational assistance to underprivileged children.
Aimed at empowering the children to take ownership of their own learning, the F&NHB E.L.I.T.E. programme offers marginalised children the opportunity to attend kindergarten and tuition centre for free. The programme promotes greater access to education and gives the children a chance with early education that helps to shape their academic and personal life trajectories.
To date, F&NHB has invested over $120,000 in the programme and a total of 487 children have benefited from the F&NHB E.L.I.T.E programme.
MALAYSIA: Leadership Programme for Underprivileged
Youth
Since 2015, F&NHB has been partnering with Leaderonomics, a social enterprise dedicated to transforming communities through leadership development. Our programme aims to nurture discipline, develop interpersonal skills, boost self- confidence and encourage teamwork among the young residents of Rumah Ilham.
This year, the boys from Rumah Ilham also had the chance to apply their leadership and basic business skills gained from the leadership programme when they set up a booth for two days to raise funds towards education fees for the Home's residents.

2. Promoting Environmental Consciousness
SINGAPORE: Recycle N Save
A circular economy will be one in which businesses work alongside consumers to 'close the loop' of production.
The Recycle N Save initiative is a collaboration between the NEA of Singapore and F&N in a joint effort to encourage Singaporeans to adopt a more circular lifestyle by offering them the convenience of recycling used cans and bottles with the help of RVM. Singapore's Environment and Water Resources Minister, Masagos Zulkifli (center of photo) showed his support by gracing the launch event for the Recycle N Save initiative.
Launched on 31 Oct 2019, following favourable response from the public to the pilot initiative at Waterway Point in Punggol in January last year, the RVM has been updated. The new RVM can hold up to 600 aluminium cans and plastic bottles.
Plans are in place to progressively roll out 50 RVMs island- wide by March 2020.
MALAYSIA: School Recycling Programmes
Since 2006, F&NHB has been partnering with schools across Malaysia to educate the next generation on the importance of circular economy principles. F&NHB sponsors a recycling competition between schools nationwide, with prizes ranging from about $70 to $450. Over the past year, F&NHB has expanded this programme to 756 schools in 130 states of Malaysia, through a partnership with Solid Waste Corporation Management.
MALAYSIA: F&NHB Fit & Nature Programme
This year, F&NHB has kick-started its "Fit & Nature" initiative, to encourage Malaysians to lead an active lifestyle as well as to generate greater awareness on environmental protection. The inaugural session was held in collaboration with the local council, with F&NHB's "Fit & Nature" activity organised in conjunction with the official launch of the Terengganu drawbridge. The eco-friendly exercise programme involved plogging, a combination of jogging and collecting litter.
Two more sessions were organised and attracted overwhelming participation from employees. F&NHB employees took part in a wide range of tasks that not only encouraged employees to do their bit to tackle issues affecting the environment and learn about the latest F&N products, but also cultivated camaraderie amongst colleagues to build their morale at the workplace.

2. Promoting Environmental Consciousness
THAILAND: Water Conservation Programme
As a F&B company, water is an essential resource for the production of our products. F&NDT has worked with the Government of Thailand to conduct a water conservation programme to return water back to nature. Themed 'Return Water to Nature', this is a circular economy initiative in action, and 350 employees worked together to build three check dams at Namtok Chet Sao Noi Saraburi located near the F&NDT Pak Chong factory.
3. Spreading Festive Cheer
MALAYSIA: Celebrating Festivals With Our Communities This year, our employees in Malaysia brought the joy of Chinese New Year to over 500 underprivileged children and senior citizens from 10 homes across Malaysia. During the visits, F&NHB contributed much-neededprovisions such as diapers, toiletries, F&N beverages and milk powder to the homes. Besides distributing red packets and mandarin oranges to the residents, F&NHB employees also treated them to packed lunches as both parties bonded together over food.
The Seratus Ikhlas, Setulus 100PLUS campaign, organised by F&NHB, in collaboration with Media Prima Television Networks, has spread Ramadan and the Hari Raya festive cheer to more than 3,000 people from underprivileged communities across Malaysia during the fasting month this year.
The one-month campaign saw 100PLUS Ambassadors and celebrities from the Seratus Ikhlas 100PLUS squad visiting homes of single mothers, the homeless and senior citizens to personally present Ramadan contributions, courtesy of F&NHB, and participate in gotong-royong and other community activities at a Tahfiz school, mosques and an old folks home.
To continue the spirit of giving and sharing during the fasting month, F&NHB also hosted break-fast sessions with children from different homes in Malaysia and contributed Raya clothes and 'duit raya' for the children.

We implement environmentally sustainable business practices in alignment with F&N's core values and the circular economy principles. This means that our approach is not only about minimizing resource inputs, but also about ensuring that outputs are useful wherever possible, either to F&N or to other organisations.
All employees are at all times guided by our Environmental, Safety and Health ("ESH") Policy.
BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE | 51 |
Our Environmental, Safety and Health Policy
All of our operations are guided by the following principles, to:
Comply with applicable ESH, legal and other requirements and also work with relevant statutory bodies to provide and maintain a safe, green working environment
Provide and maintain relevant training, instruction, information, resources and supervision to our employees about our commitments and encourage their involvement in ESH Programmes
Develop, review and carry out Environmental Impacts and Occupational Risk Assessments to take appropriate control measures for prevention of pollution, injury and illness
Ensure continual improvement in the ESH Management system and standards
Foster communication with shareholders, employees, customers, suppliers and local communities to protect the environment and to have hazard free condition
Strive for Zero Waste, Zero Pollution and Zero Accident through continual improvement in our management systems and processes
Our employees, business partners and stakeholder groups are aware of our ESH Policy and have given their support for our goals. These policies are reviewed regularly to ensure they are valid and up to date.
In the following pages, we will explain our targets, management approach and performance for each of our eco-efficiency areas of focus. We will show that eco-efficiency is not only just about reducing the environmental impacts of our operations, but also often makes good business sense for F&N.
During the year ended 30 September 2019, F&N did not receive any monetary fine or sanction for non-compliance with environmental laws or regulations.

Our Performance Highlights
Over the past year, our water intensity increased. This is because of two additional production lines at Shah Alam plant, which offer significant benefits (e.g. reduction in packaging materials) but have higher water consumption than other lines.
None of our water withdrawal is from areas of water stress. We remain committed to achieving our
2020 water intensity reduction targets. Total water consumption (i.e. withdrawal minus discharges) during the year was about 1,940 megalitres ("Ml"). This is inclusive of water consumed during our trial runs. More information about effluents is included in the next chapter of this report.

EFFLUENTS AND WASTE
GRI 303-4 (2018); GRI 306-2
Our Approach
The F&B manufacturing process involves the generation of both liquid (effluent) and solid wastes. We strive to reduce impacts from our operations, and this means complying with relevant regulations.
Under the guidance of our Environmental Policy and the principles of a circular economy, F&N explores
opportunities to review how 'waste' can be put to alternative uses. Our ultimate aim is that 'waste' is seen not as a problem, but as a source of new value for our supply chain or for another organisation's supply chain. Applying initiatives to promote a more circular economy for our operations and consumers enhances our ability to conserve natural resources and improve efficiency.
This chapter focusses on waste and effluents in our own operations. Please refer to the 'Packaging' (pg.58)

and 'Sustainable Sourcing' (pg.66) chapters for further insights about how F&N work throughout the value chain with suppliers and customers.
Each respective Business Unit has an approach to waste appropriate for their activities and hold regular departmental meetings where issues relating to waste are discussed. For example, at F&N Creameries (M) Sdn Bhd ("F&NCM") our Environment Monitoring Committee oversees the company's management of the environment with regards to waste management. At F&N United Limited ("F&NUL") in Thailand, an Organizational Sustainable Policy has been implemented with a commitment emphasising waste reduction and a 3R project (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle).
We believe that our aspiration for "zero discharge, zero waste and zero landfill" starts from each individual. As such, we organise activities to enhance environmental awareness among our employees through communication platforms such as the intranet, emails and internal recycling programmes as well as activities like 'plogging' and the F&NHB Go Green Carnival. At some sites, such as FNFS, workers are encouraged to post any suspicions of non-compliance, including photographic evidence, to a dedicated WhatsApp chat group.
F&N applies strict minimum standards for the quality of our effluent discharges, based on our Environmental Management System, and applies these standards throughout our operations. Waste water from our industrial effluent treatment plant in Malaysia is treated and repurposed for cleaning, toilet flushing, utilities and other functional purposes. Rejected water from our Thai water treatment plant and boiler is transferred to a pond for watering of grass and plants. This is an example of the circular economy principle of converting 'waste' to a resource.
Another example is our dairy manufacturing plants in Thailand and Malaysia. They are leading the way in our commitment towards achieving zero effluents and solid waste by converting 100% of industrial sludge from production into organic fertiliser. This is then distributed to local farmers. Over 1,000 MT of industrial sludge from our waste water treatment plants were converted into fertiliser this year.

F&NHB Go Green Programme
Following the success of 2018's F&NHB Go Green++, a nation-wide employee recycling programme in Malaysia, we continue to focus on packaging materials, to generate greater awareness of applying the 5Rs philosophy (Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repurpose, Recycle) among employees.
Our employees continued their enthusiasm in collecting recyclable packaging materials and we collected almost 24,000 kg of recyclables (an average of 12.5 kg per Malaysian employee) throughout the 6-month programme. There was also a significant increase in employees' knowledge on the 5R philosophy.

As part of the programme, the F&N Green Carnival was organised at our Kota Kinabalu plant this year. The activities for the carnival were designed to enhance 5R awareness amongst employees as well as share F&N's Sustainability journey in a fun way. The information and activities in the Green Carnival included:
- Recycling tetra packaging by Tetra Pak Malaysia
- Recycling industrial waste into useful materials by KPT Recycle Sdn Bhd
- F&N's sustainability commitments and initiatives
- Upcycling workshop using beverage cartons
Inspired by the success of this programme in Malaysia, F&NDT launched a "Circular Economy" project, to enhance the awareness of our employees and surrounding communities about aiming for zero solid waste. During the project launch, our employees visited schools around the Rojana plant to educate students about the circular economy. This include donating recycling bins to the schools.
Our Performance Highlights
We have a target to reduce solid waste intensity by 5% from 2017 to 2020. This year, we and achieved a 26% reduction in solid waste intensity as compared to 2017, putting us well above our target of 5%. The significant reduction was driven by the successful 'Waste to Wealth' programme at Pulau Indah plant and the 'War against Waste' programme in Thailand.

PACKAGING
Our Approach
We strive to ensure our packaging protects the integrity of the contents and fulfils the visual and functional expectations of our consumers. There is increasing stakeholder awareness of the importance of environmentally-friendly packaging, especially
in relation to plastics. In Malaysia, the government recently released a 'Roadmap Towards Zero Single- Use Plastics 2018-2030' setting out their vision to phase out single-use plastics over the next decade. The Singapore Government released a Zero-Waste Masterplan in August 2019, which includes a circular economy approach to resource management. F&N is committed to supporting these efforts and will be reassessing our approach over the next year, as well as establishing relevant targets when we set new sustainability goals for 2025.
There is scope for innovation in packaging and we have been exploring it over the years (more details are included in the 'Innovation' chapter of this report). This has helped us reduce the volume of packaging material used as a percentage of product.
Circular economy principles are particularly important for our industry: the frequency of purchases can translate into a large amount of packaging, and so 'closing the loop' is a priority. We are fully committed to reducing F&B waste by increasing shelf life
and providing appropriate portion sizes, as well as increasing the recyclability of the primary and secondary packaging used in our products and sourcing more renewable packaging materials. One such initiative would be to progressively introduce rPET into the manufacturing of bottles used across our range of beverage products and we have since started with the 100PLUS 4G bottles.
We reduced our PET resin use in packaging materials for some of our products (including 100PLUS ACTIVE and F&N SEASONS and OYOSHI) by over 208 metric tonnes this year. On top of that, the products have a longer shelf-life resulting in less waste disposal. Currently, more than 90% of our beverages' packaging contains recyclable material.
We are also active in campaigns to encourage recycling; more information is included in the 'Creating Value for Society' chapter (pg.43-49) of this report.
Switching from TR Aluminium Board to TR PBU Board
FNFS has transitioned away from the use of aluminium foil for the drinks packaging of our F&N FRUIT TREE FRESH Sugarless Apple Juice. This has been achieved without compromising both the product or packaging quality and has saved approximately 430 kg of aluminium foil. This also contributes to our logistics and fuel efficiency as the overall weight per product has been reduced by 0.5 grams.
FNFS won a 'Merit Award' in July 2019 for this initiative as part of the annual SPA Awards which recognises signatories who have made notable efforts and achievements in reducing packaging waste.

Preform Reduction in PET Bottles
This project aims to reduce the preform for our 250ml 100PLUS PET Bottles. The quantity of packaging materials used would be reduced whilst maintaining the high product quality. This project was recently initiated, and we will be able to monitor the data from the beginning of 2020.
In Thailand, and as described in the earlier 'Innovation' chapter, this year, we also implemented a packaging reduction initiative for cartons of 2kg pouch sweetened beverage creamer. Through this initiative, the weight of paper carton has reduced by 90g, with savings of 150 metric tonnes of cartons and over $650,000 in cost savings per year.
Another initiative implemented this year was to increase the size and weight of shrink film roll and modify the support of auto pack to fit the larger roll. With this, the usage of shrink film has reduced by almost 22 metric tonnes per year.
Overall, our PET usage intensity has decreased by almost 20% between 2004 and 2019.

Our Approach
Climate change is a defining global challenge of the 21st century. As one of the main priorities for our 2020 Vision, F&N is committed to reduce our energy consumption and GHG emissions intensity ratio. As part of our efforts, we also feel the responsibility to help minimise carbon footprints across our value chain, ranging from manufacturing, packaging, storage and logistics, to end use and disposal.
Singapore has pledged to reduce GHG emissions intensity ratio by 36% by 2030, compared with 2005 levels and to reach peak GHG emissions by 2030. Malaysia's government has targeted a 45% reduction in GHG emissions intensity ratio by 2030 from a 2005 baseline, and Thailand has a reduction target of 30% by 2036 from a 2010 baseline.
F&N has an initial target: between 2017 and 2020, we aim to reduce energy and GHG emissions intensity ratios by 5%. F&N will review and look into setting longer-term targets beyond 2020 in due course.
As with the other eco-efficiency topics, the framework for our approach is our Energy Management Policy.
Our Energy Management Policy
All our operations are guided by the following principles, to:
- fulfil and enhance the energy management system as energy conservation is one important part of our operations
- well manage and utilise energy conservation technology and best practices as part of our continuous improvement
- implement and improve energy management system to comply with relevant laws and regulations
- conduct energy improvement programme to optimise business operations
- promote, support and manage energy conservation efficiently
Our employees, business partners and stakeholder groups are all aware of our Management Policy and have given their support for our goals. We regularly review the policy to ensure that it is valid and up to date.
BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE | 61 |
Operations processes, including manufacturing, storage and transportation, require energy. We have applied a range of initiatives, based on circular economy principles, to improve our energy performance. Our energy and climate
change related activities are broken down into five priority areas. The first four relate to minimising our own direct and indirect impacts, and the final one relates to how we are adapting to climate change risks:

Reducing carbon in our value chain
Route planning
1. Energy Efficiency in Our Operations
Improving energy efficiency in our operations makes business sense just as much as it helps to reduce our environmental impacts. Energy efficiency contributes to a circular economy by limiting the resources needed to produce valuable goods and services.
As part of our innovative approach across the group, we have a range of initiatives that include: process solutions to eradicate wasted energy (for example installation of Variable Speed Drives); and behavioural solutions to reinforce a culture of good practice throughout our workforce (for example daily monitoring of energy consumption):
MALAYSIA: | Through installation of Variable Speed Drives ("VSD"), the | Energy Saving: |

resulted in an energy saving of about 1 million kWh/year | Cost Savings: | |
(equivalent to about 1,000 MT CO2). | About $10,000/year |
2. Renewable Energy Sourcing and Generation
Energy efficiency can make a significant contribution. However, we must also recognise that in order to ultimately decouple our activities from GHG emissions, we should look into transitioning from hydrocarbon-based energy to renewable energy. Renewable inputs are
an essential part of the transition to a circular
economy, and F&N is committed to be a part of this transition. We have begun by sourcing more of our electricity from low-carbon and renewable sources. Further to this, we are also exploring options to generate our own renewable energy at our sites.
THAILAND: | A proposal to install a solar PV system at our Rojana | Plant Capacity: |

energy for its operations. We will expand and model this | Cost Savings: | |
onto other plants after the successful implementation at | About $285,000/year | |
Rojana plant. |
BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE | 63 |
3. Reducing Carbon in Our Value Chain
In addition to making improvements to our own operations through energy efficiency and renewable energy use, F&N is looking into sharing best practices and encouraging improvements along our full value chain. We are still at the beginning of
these efforts, but we understand it is important to support our business partners and customers to reduce their own GHG emission impacts. As we do this, we will look for opportunities for collaborations for circular economy initiatives.
Optimal route planning can help us to reduce costs and be more environmentally friendly. We have therefore streamlined our distribution networks over the past few years.
Our Malaysia operations made significant progress in recent years by switching from single-deck trucks to double-decker trucks. We have also increased the product load per truck deck thereby reducing the number of trips. For FY2019, we have an estimated cost savings of about $100,000.
We have implemented the Oracle Transport Management ("OTM") system that has an efficient control over the overall logistics operations in Malaysia which comprises in-bound,out-bound and export of containers. Our Distribution team now has full visibility of all the transportation activities throughout the entire supply chain. With this web-based system, we are able to improve our operational efficiency through:
- Optimised operational planning - our team can plan and optimise shipments based on cost, service level and asset utilisation; and
4. Route Planning
- Improved fleet management - our team can better manage the fleets by transporters, from driver and equipment assignment, dispatch, asset tracking, event management and supplier payment. With the GPS integration into OTM, our planners can track the trucks at any time to ensure safety and timely arrival at destinations.
F&NHB has put in capital investments of more than $260 million since 2014 on new production lines and warehouses across our production facilities in various locations. This decentralization strategy also means that our manufacturing and warehouse operations are closer, resulting in shorter routes to market and lower carbon emissions from logistics.
About $26 million has also been invested in a sophisticated ASRS at our new integrated warehouse at Shah Alam plant. This will eliminate
the need for forklifts thus further reducing the carbon footprint of our warehouse operations. Read more about the ASRS in page 32 of this report.

5. Operations' Exposure to Climate Change Risk
F&N's operations and supply chain face increasing impacts from climate change. This includes impacts from rising sea levels, extreme temperatures, farming shortages and water availability. We adhere to regulations to reduce our environmental footprint, actively working towards reducing climate
change. At F&NHB, climate change risks are also monitored and managed as part of their Enterprise Risk Management process. Robust incident escalation procedures and response plans are part of their BCM.

GRI 204-1 Procurement Practices
Target:
To purchase RSPO Credits for 100% palm oil usage by 2020
SUSTAINABLE SOURCING
GRI 204-1
Our target for 'Sustainable Sourcing' specifically relates to palm oil. Although this represents a relatively minor proportion of our expenditure (<3% of total expenditure on products and services),
it has potentially major indirect impacts as irresponsible palm oil cultivation has caused-and continues to cause-significant environmental and social damage. We understand that our actions and business practices pertaining to the support of the production of sustainable palm oil is important and, having become an ordinary member of RSPO in August 2017, we reiterate our support for the use of Certified Sustainable Palm Oil ("CSPO") in products.
Our Approach
During the past year we have engaged with over 4,500 global and local suppliers across our supply chain, including manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, importer/merchants, contractors and professional services providers. We recognise that sustainability in our own operations is insufficient and we have to also work with business partners to ensure best practice across our supply chain.
Circular economy principles include reassessing what is meant by a 'resource': for example, one organisation's waste may end up becoming a valuable resource for another organisation. Hence, we look to understand suppliers' needs and establish mutually beneficial partnerships for circular economy solutions. The Group works closely with our suppliers to ensure standards and practices for food safety and the environment are maintained throughout the value chain. For example, F&NHB is a member of the Supplier Ethical Data Exchange and conduct regular audits on their suppliers to ensure standards and practices for food safety and the environment are maintained throughout the value chain.
BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE | 67 |
F&N supports the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights across our value chain. Next year, we will look into introducing the 'Supplier Guiding Principles', which will cover areas and standards that we abide by in relation to: child labour; forced labour; promotion of non- discrimination and equal opportunities; freedom of association; collective bargaining; the elimination of excessive working hours; fair minimum wages; and health and safety standards, thereby applying
our circular economy principles beyond our own operations.
Our Procurement Policy covers our full commitment to standard principles of ethical business practices throughout the supply chain. While we have a business imperative to obtain goods and services at the best price in a timely manner, this is done only through means that adhere to guidelines and principles of fair play and transparency.

Screening our Suppliers
At F&NHB, we have a systematic screening process for all new suppliers using environmental and social criteria. These criteria reflect the commitments towards the environment (such as reducing
waste, pollution and water resources) and society (including human rights and labour practices). The environmental performance of their raw material and primary packaging suppliers are also assessed annually to verify if they have:
1 | implemented an |
environmental policy |
2
3
undertaken audits to monitor their environmental performance and compliance
maintained an ISO 14001 compliant environmental management system
Addressing Risks in our Supply Chain High or variable costs and uncertain availability of raw materials pose commercial risks to F&N. We therefore undertake risk assessments on our suppliers' prices and capacity to deliver goods and services. For key risks, we have established Business Continuity Plans to proactively ensure product supply.
We conduct annual supplier audits to ensure compliance with food safety regulations and standards. We assess a range of quality assurance and food security criteria to safeguard the health of consumers and the safety of workers in our supply chain. Criteria include the implementation and monitoring of good manufacturing processes, use of protective clothing, food safety management systems, and chemical management.
Non-compliant or underperforming suppliers must demonstrate that they are committed to taking the necessary corrective actions within a predefined period, or risk having their contracts terminated. This year, all critical suppliers were audited on food safety regulations and standards, and none was
found to be in non-compliance.

Enhancing Supplier Productivity Since 2013, our Thai dairy operations have been working with local farmers on improving milk quality. We continue to introduce new technologies and equipment (for example, milk machine testers and automatic jet cleaning milking machines) to help farmers increase their productivity, improve milk quality and reduce waste (as part of a circular economy approach).
We also organised seminars and produced quarterly educational newsletters for them.
This year, we worked with one of our milk suppliers in Thailand, to provide a champagne tank and piping route to the Thepsathit community to tackle the water shortage problem during the annual dry seasons. Around 50 employees volunteered in this programme and more than 200 residents benefitted from this programme.
Highlights
- Helping 690 farmers in improving milk quality by sponsoring three milking tester machines to three milk cooperatives.
- Organised quarterly seminars for 120 farmers from four milk cooperatives, covering various topics including procurement policy, quality evaluation, cost reduction and long-termsupply.
- Supported 45 farmers in the cow feed production project, using Napier grass for total mix ration production to improve milk yield and reduce cost.
Special Recognition
The Animal Husbandry Association of Thailand has recently recognised Mr. Chatchawal Maneetap, Agricultural Business Manager in F&NDT for his work to support the Thai animal production industry in Thailand. He contributed to the invention of simple to use cleaning equipment for milking machines, for which he received the Thailand Kaizen award. Mr. Maneetap also helped to introduce antibiotic and somatic cell count control in fresh milk, which is helping farmers nationwide.
Halal Sourcing Partnership Programme As a major manufacturer of halal products in Malaysia, F&N recognises that it is in a position to facilitate the development of the nation's halal industry. F&NHB and Halal Industry Development Corporation signed a memorandum of agreement for the Halal Sourcing Partnership Programme.
Through this collaboration, F&NHB shared halal industry best practices whilst providing technical advice and knowledge to small and medium enterprises. The programme involved pitching sessions in Penang and Kuala Lumpur where
37 SMEs competed to showcase their products. Successful companies then underwent further screening, coaching and monitoring to elevate their capability to be qualified as halal vendors for multinational corporations.

Creating a Safety Culture
F&N has established ESH systems and monitoring processes across our operations. Beyond compliance with national regulations, our safety practices adhere to international standards including ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 for our major sites. All employees, workers and activities are covered by our ESH systems, and all workers receive adequate training and safety equipment wherever appropriate.
Each plant has its own Safety Committee, with membership comprising management and workers. And this year, at F&NHB, we have also set up a Safety and Health committee for our corporate office and regional sales offices. These committees oversee our safety systems and programmes to ensure their effectiveness and meet every month to discuss accidents or near-misses and determine appropriate actions to reduce risks. They also conduct audits on our ESH systems, develop annual
safety plans, and initiate programmes to increase awareness of health and safety issues among employees.
Employees are encouraged to report any potential risks or hazards. They can do this by informally telling a safety representative or supervisor, or via a more formal-and if preferred, anonymous-reporting to their respective safety committees.
On the ground, we have Company Emergency Response Teams. They are trained to mobilise quickly and ensure the safety of our employees should any incidents occur.
Throughout F&N, all our Business Units have implemented and strictly followed the Accident/ Incident flow diagram which represents the Emergency Preparedness and Response procedures.

Healthy Workforce
Our Health Risk Assessment Committee is staffed with trained personnel who can comprehensively review areas where employees may be exposed to health risks. We focus on ensuring that an environment is conducive to employees' well-being.
Our work environment is enhanced with ergonomic facilities to prevent office-related injuries and includes shower facilities to help employees integrate physical activity into their daily work life.
Employees access company-organised events such as badminton tournaments and Zumba classes and free medical check-ups. A gym was also set up at F&NHB's headquarter office this year to encourage office employees to stay healthy.
Air quality, brightness, temperature and noise levels are monitored in all our facilities. We conduct regular monitoring on noise levels at our facilities. For all workers working at area with high noise level, we provide hearing protector to reduce the noise exposure level. We also conduct audiometric tests regularly for
all at-risk workers, with follow up-doctor consultations where hearing impairments were identified.
In 2019, 325 employees from FNFS attended a total of 736 hours of OHS training while 99 employees from F&NCM benefitted from 819.5 hours of training. The training topics included:
- Fire Prevention and Safety
- Chemical and Gas Handling Management
- First Aid Training and CPR
- Forklift Driver Certification
- Scheduled Waste
- Confined Space
- Electrical Safety
- Working at Height
- Radiation Safety and Health
In FY2019, we conducted a safety roadshow in Singapore to foster awareness amongst our employees on safety topics. Topics presented included driving safety, fire safety traffic management, occupational health, and healthy eating. Over 560 employees attended the event.
BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE | 75 |
We have incorporated SGSecure (the Singapore government's initiative to sensitise, train and mobilise our communities to prevent and deal with a terror attack) into our OHS management systems. This included registering an 'SGSecure Rep' with the Ministry of Manpower ("MOM"), reviewing our Standard Operating Procedures and conducting risk assessments to identify terror risks. During 2019, we have also provided SGSecure training to our employees to increase awareness on how to manage our safety and security risks.
Additionally, in order to provide the employees with easy access to information on rules and regulations pertaining to security, safety, environment and health in FNFS, all employees were issued a guidebook on rules, regulations and good practices pertaining to security, safety, environment and health.
In Malaysia and Thailand, we organised regular activities to engage our employees on safety topics. Some of these activities included SHE awareness week, an internal ISO 45001 audit and training, monthly newsletter and sharing sessions from local regulatory bodies.
All workers (employees and contractors) have access to occupational health services in relation to their relevant activities. This includes hygiene, ergonomics, protective equipment, and first aid kits. F&N is advised by accredited consultants on OHS matters. For example, FNFS is advised by Concord Associates who is accredited by both the Singapore Workplace Safety and Health ("WSH") Council and MOM. The F&N Corporate office engages Greensafe International Pte Ltd on OHS matters and they are similarly accredited by WSH and MOM. Where any work-related health matters occur, F&N pays relevant treatment costs and allow for any required time away from work.
We offer healthcare insurance to employees based on staff category and/or job levels. Malaysia and Thailand offer health care for all and we help to facilitate good health coverage for all workers
by organising an annual health screening and encouraging all employees to participate. Any work- related illnesses will receive follow-up consultations with doctors, if identified.

CONSUMER HEALTH AND SAFETY
GRI 416-1,416-2
Consumer Health and Safety is more than a top priority, but a core principle embedded in our culture. We live by our brand promise of "Pure Enjoyment. Pure Goodness" by producing, marketing and selling our brands responsibly and enabling consumers to make informed purchasing choices. We consistently maintain the highest standards so that customers have full confidence when purchasing and consuming our products.
Our Approach
Quality & Safety
Our 136 years of success are built on mutual trust with our consumers and we are committed to enhancing their future well-being. This requires a holistic approach to safety across the life cycle of our products. In previous chapters, we have described how consumer health is a key part our innovation efforts, and about our processes for suppliers as part of our food safety assurance.
In our own operations, we adhere to all health and safety regulations applicable to the F&B industry for the markets in which we operate. All F&N products are manufactured under stringent international quality and food safety standards. Our plants are certified with FSSC 22000, ISO 22000 and HACCP Food Safety management systems, and all stages of our production processes are subjected to rigorous quality control procedures.
Other certifications include: Food Safety Management System ISO 22000; Quality Management System ISO 9001; Accredited Laboratory; Good Manufacturing Practice; and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point standards. Our SRMC regularly reviews our key risks in relation to Consumer Health and Safety.
We are committed to providing the highest quality products and ensuing product integrity. From manufacturing to distribution and storage, we protect the entire product lifecycle. In the 'Packaging' chapter, we also described how our product packaging and labelling are designed to ensure our customers' health and safety.
Apart from packaging, storage and distribution of products are important to maintain product integrity. Our Singapore production facility follows strict standard of operation procedures so that all our products are stored and transported in good conditions, such as within the tolerated temperature, lighting and stress on packages. F&NCM in Malaysia also engages with third party experts on cold storages and distribution to ensure supply chain security and integrity and maintain product quality. They also conduct annual audits to ensure that their storage and distribution are of the highest standards.
We facilitate feedback from our customers through many communication channels for our customers' convenience. Customers can contact us through our product website or by sending us an email with regards to their enquiries. We have also set up accounts on social media, such as Facebook and Line application, for customers to stay connected with us and keep up-to-date on our products. In Singapore, we have set up a hotline for customer to directly contact us with their enquiries.
We are committed to product quality and food safety and have obtained local and
international certifications such as:

Halal Assurance
All our products are halal certified by the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia and other relevant authorised certification bodies. Each of our manufacturing plants has a Halal Committee, responsible for halal compliance in our supply chain (from materials selection and purchasing, to the storage, warehousing, and transportation of our products).
During the year, in Malaysia, we held 94 workshop sessions involving over 1,100 employees in order to raise halal awareness. Employees with responsibility in halal matters for F&NHB also attended a series of professional training sessions related to halal internal audit and assurance. The halal awareness training was also conducted to their key transporters in 2019.
We also prohibit non-halal food and drinks within factory premises including offices and canteens.
Nutrition Charter
To safeguard our consumers' well-being, while at the same time providing them with great tasting products, we are committed to developing products and undertaking initiatives to promote health and nutrition. The F&N Nutrition Charter outlines our
commitment to develop products that are healthy for consumers and guides us throughout product development. The principles of the Nutrition Charter are:
-
F&N product developments are led by our group philosophy of "Pure Enjoyment. Pure Goodness"
- our commitment to consumers that we will deliver products that are not only great-tasting but also packed with nutritional goodness; - To develop products based on proven scientific evidence and research, and consumer insights and tastes relevant to evolving Asian lifestyles;
- To actively self-regulate and ensure accountability via strong corporate governance;
- To provide safe, high-quality and affordable products to all our consumers; and
- To innovate and renovate to meet the changing needs of all our consumers and ensure consistent delivery of good taste and the right nutritional values.
Towards Healthier Options
We put much emphasis on developing healthier products, such as by adding vitamins and minerals to boost products' benefits. Many of our products carry the 'Healthier Choice' Symbol or Logo:

BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE | 79 |
Our philosophy of 'Pure Enjoyment. Pure Goodness'' means innovating constantly to satisfy changing consumer preferences. For example, OYOSHI tea products are brewed from high quality organic tea leaves; our soya bean milk is made with first grade non-GMO (genetically modified organisms) soybeans; and none of our products sold in Malaysia and Thailand contain Partially Hydrogenated Oils ('trans fatty acids'). We provide alternative and healthier options by innovating our products for consumers with food intolerance, such as lactose free milk.
Another aspect of the healthier offering is our commitment to reducing sugar content in our products. This year, we have successfully reformulated about 90% of our RTD products to below the 5g/100ml sugar content. This included:
- Full range of 100PLUS RTD variants
- Full range of F&N Fun Flavours Carbonated Soft
Drinks, except F&N Mixer - F&N SEASONS Asian Drinks
- F&N SEASONS Soya
Similarly, in Singapore, F&N also continues to support the Singaporean Government's Sugar Reduction Commitment initiative by:
- Ensuring that all our RTD beverages contain less than 12g/100ml of sugar.
- Continuing to innovate, renovate and promote lower sugar beverages

Nutrition for Soon-to-be Mothers
This year, BEAR BRAND collaborated with Nestle Mom & Me Club to educate consumers about the importance of folate to expecting mothers. Soon-to-be mothers were provided with product knowledge during the in-store promotional exercise and servings of BEAR BRAND High Folate Sterilised Milk were handed out to mothers who were in their first trimester of pregnancy.
Our Performance Highlights
In FY2019, F&N maintained our health and safety standards with no significant incidents of non- compliance with regulations resulting in a fine, penalty or warning.
We are making good progress towards offering at least one healthier choice in each RTD product category by 2020. There are currently healthier options in 14 out of 15 (93%) product categories.
We currently do not have a healthier option available for the 'Energy' product category as we believe that reducing the sugar level of our energy drinks too drastically would result in a loss of its functionality and purpose, which is to provide our consumers, who require it, with an energy boost.

PRODUCT AND SERVICE LABELLING
GRI 417-1; GRI 417-2
Our packaging and labelling are the primary methods by which we communicate information about our products' quality, nutrition, safety and disposal to consumers. It is therefore essential that our labelling is comprehensive and clear, allowing our busy customers to make informed purchasing decisions.
Our Approach
Our labelling adheres to Singapore Food Regulations as well as to the guidelines set down by Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority in Singapore. We adhere to the Food Act in Malaysia and all requirements of the Food and Drug Administration in Thailand. All information disclosed on our labels is subject to a review process involving a range of internal experts including our R&D and Scientific & Regulatory Affairs teams, plus dietician advice. Labels are then submitted to government authorities for verification and endorsement.
We go beyond mandatory requirements and for all products we provide information on ingredients, sourcing, energy per serving size, recommended daily allowances of the different nutritional components, expiry dates and nutrition tips.
In order to make it as easy as possible for consumers to understand fundamental information (calories and contribution to recommended daily Calorie intake), we include 'front of pack labelling' for most of our ready-to-drink products.
We take care to ensure that our marketing and advertising activities do not violate any ethical standards. We adhere to the Malaysian Code of Advertising Practice in Malaysia and the Consumer Protection Act of B.E. 2522 (1979) in Thailand.
In Malaysia, we are a signatory to the 'Responsible Advertising to Children' initiative and have pledged to restrict marketing to children under 12 years of age.
BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE | 83 |

- We are working towards our target for Water Stewardship to reduce the water intensity ratio at our plants across the Group by 5% from 2017 by 2020 in FY2019. We saw a decrease by about 4% on our Group water intensity ratio as compared to FY2017.
- We have also met our target for Effluents and Waste to reduce solid waste intensity ratio by 5% across the Group from 2017 in FY2018. We have achieved a reduction of around 25% on our Group solid waste intensity ratio as compared to FY2017.
-
We are working towards achieving our targets on Energy and Climate Change of reducing the Group's energy and GHG emissions intensity ratios by 5% between 2017 and 2020. Our energy and GHG emissions intensity ratios have increased by about 1% and 5% as compared to FY2017.
This is mainly due to the commissioning 2 new operation lines at our Shah Alam plant in Malaysia. As they have a higher water and energy consumption, our water, energy and GHG intensity ratio would tend to increase due to the increase usage.
