Strengthening Vulnerable Groups As the COVID-19 pandemic prolongs, so will the devastating e*ects on the vulnerable and marginalised groups. The toll from the pandemic will further deepen inequality to cause a greater global challenge. Our consumers and employees come from all segments of society and the widening inequality of wealth and opportunity will undermine the development and potential of not only our communities, but also our business. To take action in tackling this issue, we have chosen to focus on supporting vulnerable groups such as underprivileged children through investing in educational programmes. Since 2010, F&NHB has invested a total of RM200,000 for the F&N ICDL (International Computer Driving License) Annual Programme. The funds go into equipping three F&N IT Corners – two at Montfort Boys Town in Shah Alam and one in Montfort Youth Centre Melaka, and conducting the ICDL vocational programme. To date, 585 children, including 65 this year have excelled and graduated with the ICDL certification. ICDL is the world’s leading computer skills certification. Promoting Environmental Consciousness Companies have a critical role to play in minimising our environmental footprint and to lead a sustainable development in societies. We have taken on the task of promoting environmental consciousness in our communities and see it as one of our key priorities in communication, education, and public awareness initiatives. As F&N continues to move towards a circular economy model in our business, we exchange knowledge with communities and learn from them to better implement our ideas. • Encouraging Recycling through Collaboration with Local Councils & Schools SDG 4: Quality Education SDG 8: Decent Work & Economic Growth SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities SDG 12: Responsible Consumption & Production Since 2007, F&NHB has been partnering with schools across Malaysia to educate the next generation on the importance of environmental conservation. Despite the lockdown in Malaysia, we continued to partner with SWCorp Malaysia to organise PERKISS ( Pertandingan Kitar Semula Sekolah-sekolah ) to encourage recycling among school children. The Waste Bank and Recycling Project was set up in 2 local schools in Thailand - Wattanodtia School, Ayutthaya Province, Thailand and Watkokmayom School, Ayutthaya Province, Thailand. The waste bank has provided tangible monetary benefits to the students of Watkokmayom School by selling the recyclables collected. Approximately THB150,000 was spent on improving the waste management infrastructure of the schools from setting up recycling stations to renovating waste storage areas. This year, we encouraged the students to continue collecting the recyclables through a reward programme, in which the participating students are rewarded with our products. SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals In Malaysia, F&NHB collaborated with Shah Alam City Council to beautify a community recycling centre – Pusat Kitar Semula MBSA U2 Shah Alam. The centre that started operating in January 2020 serves as a drive-through to welcome the local community to recycle paper, metal, aluminium, glass, electronic waste, used clothes, tyres, and serves as a transit point for food waste.
