Sustainability

Being a primary wholesale distributor of fresh vegetables, we recognise that our company’s operations have direct impacts on the environment and the communities we serve. Adhering to ESG Principles ensures that our company is proactively making conscious efforts to operate sustainably and responsibly.

Environmental

We aspire to adhere to environmentally friendly practices in our management of resources and pollution generated from our business activities. In managing environmental sustainability matters, we will focus on, amongst others, the following:

Renewable Energy

We installed a solar photovoltaic system at our Senai Centralised Distribution Centre, generating __ kilowatt-hours of clean energy annually. This initiative supplements our power supply, reduces carbon footprint by __ metric tons of CO2 emissions per year, and aligns with Malaysia's decarbonisation targets.

Reduce Waste

We established a designated area for storage of organic waste from fresh vegetables, including vegetable scraps, trimmings, and damaged produce, for processing. This initiative has allowed us to collect ____ kilograms of organic waste monthly, diverting it from landfills.

Additionally, we encourage local growers to collect organic waste, with over ____ kilograms repurposed as animal feed or fertiliser each month. We also reused pallets to optimise warehouse space, saving costs and minimising environmental impact.

Environmental-Friendly Packaging

We have reduced the use of non-biodegradable materials in packaging processes and repurposed used packaging as cushioning material within delivery boxes. Our choices include adopting environmentally friendly alternatives such as biodegradable plastics and recyclable/compostable packaging materials.

Paper Reduction

We promote the use of digitalisation to reduce paper printing and encourage paper recycling, thus reducing waste sent to landfills. This initiative has resulted in a significant decrease in paper consumption and an increase in paper recycling efforts, contributing to waste reduction and environmental sustainability.

Social

At Farm Price, we are dedicated to ensuring the safety and health of our employees and fostering social sustainability.

Equalities

We promote gender equality and cultural diversity, offering equal opportunities for employment, career development, and advancement regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or any other relevant characteristics. We strive to prevent misconduct and improper behaviour such as workplace bullying, discrimination, harassment, intimidation, and victimisation.

Employee
Empowerment

We prioritise our employees' personal and professional growth by providing training programs such as safety training, production techniques, leadership skills, and self-development opportunities to prepare them for career advancement.

Corporate Social
Responsibility (CSR)

We understand that blessings find different people in different ways. We believe in the power of business to drive positive change and recognize that our success is tied to the well-being of the broader community. As part of our CSR efforts:

We donate fresh vegetables and mattresses to organisations such as the Handicapped and Mentally Disabled Children Association of Johor Bahru and the Association for Children of God in Kulai and Johor Bahru, respectively. This initiative aims to enhance the living conditions of residents, particularly children with disabilities, by providing essential bedding and nutritious fresh vegetables.
We also contribute fresh vegetables to local schools as part of their fundraising activities, supporting the community's educational initiatives.
