Fraser & Neave Holdings Bhd Sustainability Report 2020

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. Our Approach Waste can be a source of value for our supply chain or for another organisation’s supply chain. Being able to effectively manage our waste enhances F&N’s ability to conserve natural resources and improve efficiency. The food & beverage manufacturing process involves the generation of both liquid (effluent) and solid wastes. We continue to improve on our solid waste management by identifying key categories and key waste streams so that we can recycle and reduce our waste generation. We strive to reduce the impacts from our operations, and this means complying with, and going beyond, relevant regulations. Under the guidance of our Environmental, Safety and Health Policy and the principles of a circular economy, F&NHB applies strict standards over the quality of our effluent discharges and we continuously explore how ‘waste’ from our operations can be minimised and put to alternative uses. Our Target To reduce solid waste intensity by 5% from 2017 to 2020 Our Performance in 2020 Group solid waste intensity has fallen by 62% from 2017 to 0.97 We are proud to have significantly exceeded our 2020 target, driven by a strong performance across our business: • Our Kota Kinabalu and Pulau Indah plant in Malaysia achieved zero waste to landfill, with 100% of waste recycled. • Our Rojana and Pak Chong in Thailand, and our Bentong plant in Malaysia achieved over 90% of waste recycled. • Our Matang, Kuching and Shah Alam recycled over 80% of their production waste.

Over 1,250 metric tonnes of industrial sludge from our waste water treatment plants were converted into fertiliser this year. Wastewater from our industrial effluent treatment plant in Malaysia and Thailand is treated and repurposed for general cleaning purposes and watering of plants. As part of our Water Recycling programme, FNDT also reused treated wastewater in our cooling system, reducing effluent emission by up to 33%. At our Pulau Indah plant, 100% of recyclables are sent for recycling while kitchen waste is sent for composting to create soil conditioner and fertiliser this year. At our Shah Alam plant, all aluminium, bottles and cartons are recycled and kitchen waste is composted. Wastewater is reused for cleaning and cooling towers, instead of discharging. A future initiative that we are looking forward to undertaking is new technology for soya extraction which utilises the leftover Okara (soy pulp).
