It is of paramount importance for us to o*er healthier choices as options for our consumers, but not at the expense of their enjoyment. At the same time, we encouraged consumers to care for their health and well-being by raising awareness on the importance of hydration to build stronger immunity during this pandemic. • Reducing Sugar Level An important aspect to healthier o*ering is our commitment to reducing sugar content in our products. Since 2004, F&N Group has taken deliberate steps in reducing sugar content in our beverages. We have achieved very significant reduction, cutting the sugar content in our total products by 61%. This year, we achieved a further reduction of 5% in the sugar index (grams of sugar content per 100ml) across our range of beverages, against last year. • Catering to Consumers with Dietary Restrictions & Preferences Lactose-free We provide alternative and healthier options by developing products for consumers with food intolerances, such as lactose free milk. Lactose free milk is currently available in Thailand, and we are looking to expand this o*ering to Malaysia. Zero-sugar Following the successful introduction of 100PLUS Zero in 7-Eleven outlets in Malaysia last year, we expanded the reach of this zero sugar and zero calorie variant of the 100PLUS drink into more retail outlets. This includes partnering with McDonald’s Malaysia to o*er 100PLUS Zero with combo meals, which we have received overwhelming positive feedback from our consumers. • Advocating Healthier Choices and Lifestyle We have placed greater emphasis on developing low sugar products and fortifying our products with micronutrients. Many of our products carry the Healthier Choice Symbol or Logo. In FY2021, our products endorsed with a Healthier Choice Logo has increased from 47 in FY2020 to 69. This is in support of the local governments’ programme in providing healthier products to local consumers. INITIATIVES 068 C R E A T I N G V A L U E F O R S O C I E T Y
