F&N Commemorates 140 Years with Tribute to History and Unwavering Support from Malaysians | F&N is a household name that needs no introduction. It has been around for quite some time and still continues to excel with new products.
With the sentimental theme "Kisah Kita... Selamanya," Fraser & Neave Holdings Bhd ('F&NHB' or 'Group'), a name associated with tradition and excellence, proudly celebrates the 140th anniversary of the brand. 


With its wide variety of cherished brands, F&NHB's dedication to offering "Pure Enjoyment, Pure Goodness" has created a timeless tapestry of shared experiences. The anniversary theme, "Kisah Kita... Selamanya," perfectly encapsulates these cherished customs, in which F&N items have sparked innumerable heartwarming interactions amongst family members. 
"F&N is pleased to stand as strong allies for Malaysians over the ages. As we celebrate our past, we are equally thrilled for the years to come, embracing an era of sustainable growth and transformation." F&NHB Chief Executive Officer Lim Yew Hoe stated.
Currently operating in 89 nations, F&NHB is developing its business through smart acquisitions and increasing its reach along the whole value chain for food and beverages. The recent addition of Sri Nona and Cocoaland products has strengthened the sector of Halal Packaged Food, which is a promising area of growth for F&NHB. F&NHB can now accommodate a wide range of tastes and preferences, further enhancing its position as the industry leader.
F&NHB's dedication to sustainability takes front stage as it creates the future of Malaysia as the Group continues its expansion path.
The Group is actively building the largest integrated dairy farm in Malaysia, spanning over 2,726 hectares in Gemas, Negeri Sembilan, which will produce 100 million litres of fresh milk annually in Phase 1 for local and international markets, fulfilling F&NHB's ambition to put fresh milk in every home in Malaysia. Lim shared this information to underline the Group's commitment to this goal. 


Beyond the dairy farm, F&NHB's plans for growing feed crops inside the facility are in line with the government's desire to lessen the reliance of the country on foreign feed. The farm will also be built using green technologies, circular economy principles, and sustainable agriculture. 
Since 2020, F&N has installed one of Malaysia's largest rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) systems at its buildings, gradually reducing its reliance on fossil fuels. With 11,000 solar panels installed at its Shah Alam facility, 100PLUS, Malaysia's top isotonic beverage, now produces more than half of its own electricity needs. Following this accomplishment, 100PLUS' packaging will feature the "Solar" logo. 
F&N is dedicated to minimising its environmental impact throughout its value chain in addition to using renewable energy. The use of 100% RSPO Certified Sustainable Palm Oil by 2025 is part of this roadmap, as is improving the circularity of the product packaging. The Group will use 60% RSPO credits and 40% Certified Sustainable Palm Oil in 2023.  Additionally, 25% of the packaging for its dairy and beverage products is made from recycled materials. Through the F&N School Recycling Programme, which involves 1,300 schools across the country, F&N has also long championed recycling awareness among schoolchildren.
Due to its commitment to sustainability, F&NHB was ranked in the top 1 percent of companies worldwide for its Food and Beverage Supersector's FTSE4GOOD ESG score in Bursa Malaysia's June 2023 assessment. This achievement is evidence of the company's Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG) practises. 
"We accept this honour with pride and a commitment to perform even better for our next generations. As we pursue profitable expansion, we are conscious that we must reach our objectives in the most sustainable way possible. All of our past successes and anticipated future advancements would not have been possible without the decades-long unwavering support of our devoted customers. We look forward to an exciting future where we continue to add value for our stakeholders by working hand in hand with the communities we serve to improve business, society, and the earth," stated F&NHB's Chairman, Y.A.M. Tengku Syarif Bendahara Perlis Syed Badarudin Jamalullail. 


From August 23 to August 27, 2023, a unique roadshow will take held at the Oval Atrium, LG Concourse Level, at 1Utama Shopping Centre as part of the F&N 140th Anniversary celebration. Visitors can make memories with F&N by participating in the thrilling activities at "Pekan F&N." During the F&N 140th Anniversary tour, customers have the chance to win one of the three special edition Vespa scooters.
The event was officiated by Y.A.M. Tengku Syed Badarudin Jamalullail, Chairman of F&NHB, Mr. Hui Choon Kit, Chief Executive Officer of Fraser and Neave, Limited, Mr. Lim Yew Hoe, Chief Executive Officer of F&NHB, as well as a number of F&NHB Board members.
