F&NHB's
commitment to delivering "Pure Enjoyment, Pure Goodness" with its
diverse range of beloved brands has woven an enduring tapestry of shared
memories. The anniversary theme, "Kisah Kita… Selamanya,"
captures the essence of these cherished traditions, where F&N products have
served as catalysts for countless heartwarming connections among loved ones.
“F&N is honoured to stand as steadfast
companions for generations of Malaysians. As we celebrate our heritage, we are
also excited for the years ahead, embracing an era of sustainable growth
and transformation,” affirmed
F&NHB Chief Executive Officer Lim Yew Hoe.
Did you know that F&N has been around for 140 years?
Today,
F&NHB is present in 89 countries and continues to evolve its business
through strategic acquisitions and expanding its footprint across the food and
beverages value chain. Fortified by the recent integration of Sri Nona and
Cocoaland products into its portfolio, the Halal Packaged Food sector is a
promising pillar of growth for F&NHB. This move enables F&NHB to cater
to diverse tastes and preferences, further solidifying its position as the
market leader.
As the Group continue its growth journey, F&NHB’s
commitment to sustainability takes centre stage as it shapes the landscape of
Malaysia's future.

Underlining this commitment, Lim shared that
the Group is actively developing the largest integrated dairy farm in Malaysia,
spanning over 2,726 hectares in Gemas, Negeri Sembilan, that will produce 100
million litres of fresh milk annually in Phase 1 for local and international
markets, fulfilling F&NHB’s aspiration to put fresh milk into every home in
Malaysia.
Beyond the dairy farm, F&NHB's plans
for feed crop farming within the facility align with the government's goal of
reducing the nation's dependence on imported feed. The farm will also be
designed around sustainable agriculture, circular economy practices, and green technology.

Since 2020, F&N has progressively reduced
its reliance on fossil fuels by installing one of Malaysia’s largest rooftop
solar photovoltaic (PV) systems at its facilities. With 11,000 solar panels at
its Shah Alam plant, the generated solar energy now
accounts for more than half of the electricity demand for producing 100PLUS, Malaysia’s No. 1 Isotonic beverage. Following
this milestone, 100PLUS will carry the “Solar” emblem across its packaging.
Apart from renewable energy, F&N is committed
to reducing its environmental impact throughout its value chain. This includes
a roadmap to use 100% RSPO Certified Sustainable Palm Oil by 2025 and enhancing
the circularity of its product packaging. For 2023, the Group will use 60% Certified
Sustainable Palm Oil and 40% RSPO credits. Meanwhile, 25% of its beverage and dairy
packaging is sourced from recycled material. F&N is also a
long-time champion of recycling awareness among school children through the F&N
School Recycling Programme involving 1,300 schools nationwide.
F&NHB's
dedication to sustainability has positioned F&NHB in the global top 1
percentile of its Food and Beverage Supersector for FTSE4GOOD ESG score in the
June 2023 review by Bursa Malaysia, a testament to the company’s Environment,
Social, and Governance (ESG) practices.
"We
take this accolade with pride and a sense of responsibility to do even better
for our future generations. As we
pursue profitable growth, we remain cognisant that our goals must be achieved
in the most sustainable manner," stated F&NHB's Chairman,
Y.A.M. Tengku Syarif Bendahara Perlis Syed
Badarudin Jamalullail.
“All the achievements in the past and progress
for the future can only be possible with our loyal customers’ unconditional
support over the decades. We look ahead to an exciting future where we continue
building value for our stakeholders by creating a better business, society, and
planet together, hand in hand with the communities we serve,” concluded Y.A.M. Tengku
Syed Badarudin Jamalullail.
The F&N 140th Anniversary celebration will
be ongoing from the 23rd to 27th August 2023 with a special roadshow at the
Oval Atrium, LG Concourse Level, at 1Utama Shopping Centre. Guests can create
memories with F&N through the exciting activities in ’Pekan F&N’. Customers
also stand a chance to win one of the three limited edition Vespa scooters during
the F&N 140th Anniversary roadshow.
The celebration was officiated by F&NHB’s
Chairman, Y.A.M. Tengku Syed Badarudin Jamalullail, Mr. Hui Choon Kit, Chief
Executive Officer of Fraser and Neave, Limited, alongside Mr. Lim Yew Hoe, Chief
Executive Officer of F&NHB and several members of the F&NHB Board. Also present were 100PLUS ambassadors Datuk Wira Lee
Chong Wei and Dato’ Muhammad Azizulhasni bin Awang, who participated in the
