Fraser & Neave Holdings Bhd Sustainability Report 2019

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 as well as activities like ‘plogging’ and our F&N Green Carnival. Our dairy manufacturing plants in Thailand and Malaysia are leading the way in our commitment towards achieving zero effluents and solid waste. One way we do this is by converting 100% of industrial sludge from production into organic fertiliser, which is then distributed to local farmers. Over 1,037 metric tonnes of industrial sludge from our waste water treatment plants were converted into fertiliser during the year. Wastewater from our industrial effluent treatment plant in Malaysia is treated and repurposed for cleaning, toilet flushing, utilities and other functional purposes. Rejected water from our Thai water treatment plant and boiler is transferred to a pond for watering of grass and plants.
