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 liters 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.
