Fraser & Neave Holdings Bhd Sustainability Report 2019

Recognising the negative effects associated with excessive sugar consumption, F&NHB has taken the initiative to proactively decrease the sugar content in our beverages since 2004. This is achieved gradually without compromising on the taste of our products and their acceptance by consumers. As a result, the overall sugar index (grammes of sugar content per 100ml) of our beverages is at 5.2g/100ml which is 11% lower than last year and equivalent to 41% reduction from FY2004.
