Fraser & Neave Holdings Bhd Sustainability Report 2021

Water Stewardship in Our Supply Chain This year, we continue to collaborate with our suppliers on water stewardship initiatives. As part of the Farmers Excellence Programme elaborated in Supply Chain Stewardship . We continue to educate dairy farmers on water conservation and the reusability potential of water for cleaning and feed. This year, F&N installed a large water storage tank at the investment of THB460,000 that have the potential to supply 1,680,000 litres of water to 180 households across communities in Chaiyaphum Province. This will provide su+cient water supply and increase water security for to 24 farms, consisting of 955 cattles, and can also minimise disruption from drought and ensure farmers can continue their farming operations sustainably. INITIATIVES Water Stewardship in Our Operations We have implemented various water saving initiatives this year to further move towards our target of reducing water intensity by 8% by 2025. Usage of liquid sugar in Sweetened Beverage Creamer (SBC) products – Rojana plant Since January 2020, we have started to use liquid sugar in the production of Sweetened Beverage Creamer products in Rojana Plant, Thailand. By removing the process of dissolving cube sugar, we save around 132m 3 of water per day. This has helped us to achieve cost savings of about THB0.8 million. Treated wastewater recovery – Pulau Indah plant Wastewater is reused in cooling tower, to avoid the discharge into public drains of 800m 3 per day and saves approximately RM215,000 per year. Water reduction initiative – Shah Alam plant At Shah Alam plant, we implement two initiatives to reduce water consumption: • The Clean-in-place interval and duration of production line is improved by extending its process frequency from 24 hours to 48 hours. This has contributed to water savings of over 3,000m 3 . • The duration of backwash process for aseptic line is extended from 99 mins to 120 mins for each cycle. This contributes to water savings of over 50,000m 3 and cost savings of RM108,000. Water reduction & reuse – Kota Kinabalu plant At our Kota Kinabalu plant, we reduce the water usage at the wastewater treat plant by optimising the time during treatment and rinsing process of activated carbon filter. Through this initiative, we have halved the daily water usage to 6,000L, with water savings of over 1,200m 3 . Apart from water reduction, we also collect and reuse rinsed water from bottles for cleaning of loading area. This has resulted in water savings of 289m 3 . 102 O P E R A T I O N A L E C O !
