BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE

KEY STAKEHOLDERS’ ENGAGEMENT
F&N strives to build and maintain strong relationships based on trust and respect with our eight key stakeholder groups, namely
employees, suppliers, customers, investment community, consumers, regulators, non-governmental organisations (“NGOs”) and
local communities.

It utilises various platforms for appropriate stakeholder engagement across these eight categories, to ensure that our stakeholders are
given the opportunity to voice their demands, opinions, concerns and suggestions, as shown in the table below.

Information received via these channels feeds into our planning and strategy for sustainable value creation.

BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE

OUR MATERIAL ISSUES
We undertook our first materiality assessment in January 2017 to identify, prioritise, validate and review relevant sustainability issues.
Facilitated by an independent sustainability consultant, the exercise involved key internal stakeholders, including the SDC, to identify,
prioritise and validate ESG factors that are material to F&N’s business operations and of significant interest to our stakeholders.
This year, the SDC reviewed and revalidated the material ESG factors.

              Step 1:                                      Step 2:                                        Step 3:

              Preliminary issues were identified           To provide weightage to the                    Based on outcome of the
              based on a comparative analysis              material issues identified in                  workshop, we were able to plot
              conducted of peer companies                  Step 1, they were reviewed by                  a preliminary materiality matrix,
              and industry best practices in               our CEOs, heads of department                  which was then validated by the
              sustainability. These issues were            and directors. This allowed us                 SDC and the Board. The next

              Subsequently, employees were                 our business and the extent to                 from stakeholders. This feedback
              surveyed to obtain their views               which they are likely to impact                will be used to develop next

              a list of key issues, opportunities          from moderate to high.
              and challenges facing F&N.

F&N’s SDC revisited the 15 material issues identified last year and confirmed that these topics remain important. The major change
this year is the increased importance of Talent Management to the business.

The following matrix depicts 15 issues that are seen to be of importance to both F&N and our stakeholders. We have focused on these
material issues in this report.

OUR 2020 TARGETS AND PROGRESS
As part of our commitment to sustainability, we have established nine key performance targets in 2017 for the entire F&N Group
including Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, based on the high priority material issues identified. These medium-term performance
targets are set to be achieved by 2020.

Recognising the importance placed on climate change, a new target to reduce our greenhouse gas intensity has been added this year,
as part of our commitment in the global call-to-action on Energy & Climate Change management.

Healthier Options
We invest heavily in the development of healthier products. Our R&D labs were established to develop products that are both
nutritious and delicious. Our R&D team also constantly seeks to innovate to find the best solutions for our customers. One of our
main focus area is reducing sugar content in our beverages. This year we continued to make strong progress year-on-year: in 2004,
our beverages contained on average 8.7g of sugar per 100ml and this has fallen by 31% to 6.0g/100ml in 2018.
