Brewing a better world

a corporate Social responsibility program; for asia pacific breweries Singapore (apb Singapore) is more than paperwork. the way apb Singapore embraced the sustainability strategy of ‘brewing a better world’ with the integration of apb Singapore into heineKen’s operations in 2012, was with the truly dedicated involvement of the whole organization.

Protecting water resources, reducing CO2,sourcing sustainability, advocating respon-sible consumption, promoting health andsafety, and growing with communities arethe six core pillars in this strategy. For eachpillar,HEINEKENhassetglobaltargetstobeachievedby2020.AtAPBSingapore,progressandachievementsineachpillararereportedinitsSustainabilityReport. These are further consolidated intotheyearlyGlobalSustainabilityReport.

investing in sustainability leads the way forwardBack in 1931, a joint venture betweenHEINEKEN and Fraser & Neave led to thefoundingofMalayanBreweriesLimited,whichwas later renamed Asia Pacific Breweries in1989.In2012HEINEKENtookfullownershipofAPBSingapore,thehomeoftheTigerbeer.

“Althoughwe are the largest andmost sus-tainable commercial brewery in Singapore,the beer market in Singapore is extremelycompetitive,andbeercompaniesneedtoberelevanttoconsumersinordertostandout”,explains Mitchell Leow, Head of CorporateRelations.

“At HEINEKEN we believe that investing insustainability is a business imperative and isone of our six key business priorities. Onlywhenweare sustainable in termsofdealingwith societal challenges, can we remain rel-evant to our customers and consumers”, hecontinues.

“Researchhas shown that consumers are in-deed concerned about the brands they buyandtheir impactontheenvironment.Eventslike thehazewithnogeographicboundariesintensifythistrend.AtAPBSingaporewere-allyseethevalueofdoinggoodandshowingour commitment to consumers to be moresustainable.”

brewed by the sunHEINEKENhasa longand illustrioushistory,and to continue to operate for another 150years, investments are needed to make its

production process more efficient by usinglesswaterandlessenergy.In2014,APBSingapore installed8,038solarpanelsontherooftopofthebrewery,therebymaking it the largest single rooftop solar in-stallation within the global HEINEKEN busi-nessandoneofthelargestinSingapore.“Thisinstallationreducesourcarbonfootprintby 20%. Alternatively, the total solar energygeneratedeachyearwouldbeequivalent topoweringup660four-roomHDBhouseholdsannually”, clarifiesMitchell Leow. “Today allTigerbeers inSingaporeare ‘Brewedby the

Sun’. This is a huge step for us in terms ofsustainability.”

giving back to society‘BrewedbytheSun’isalsoawaytoeducateconsumers about sustainability and the en-vironment. “We aim to increase consumerawareness for these issues through our sus-tainabilityprograms”,addsMitchellLeow.“Anothertopiconourradaristheresponsibleconsumptionofourbeers.Anexampleisour‘When you drive, never drink’ campaign, inlinewithourglobalsponsorshipofFormula1.Weareexcitedwiththisnewplatformtopro-moteresponsibledrinkingamongconsumers.This is how we run the business: with eachstep we undertake, we consider ways thatbenefitourbusiness,consumersandgovern-ment”,summarizesMitchellLeow.

He firmly believes companies have to giveback to society so that they can grow to-getherwiththemarketinwhichtheyoperate.ThroughtheAPBFoundation,APBSingaporeactively funds various community programsrelated to arts, education and/or communi-ties.

Farmers at the forefront of sustainability developments

Sustainability is at the core of a company when it is owned by 19,000 farmers. frieslandcampina can bear witness to that fact. farmers are serious about passing on their farms to the next generation and therefore always have the long term in mind.

In2015FrieslandCampinawontheprestigiousPublicAffairsAsia’s Gold Standard Award forCorporateCitizenshipintheRegionalProgramcategory,andthereweresolidreasonsforthis.PietHilarides,COOofFrieslandCampinaAsia,clarifies: “Creating shared value for businessand society is how we at FrieslandCampinaoperateanditisourdefinitewayforward.”

a vision for the long-runAsiaexperiences thehighestgrowth indairyand milk products globally, which creates alot of opportunities. FrieslandCampina hasbeen active in the region since 1920, start-ingwithexportsto Indonesiaandnowhasapresence in eight countries so far. The planis to expand activities in Asia even further,although the long-termvision isalways fore-mostwhenenteringanewmarket.“Themorewecanachieveinthelong-run,thehigherourefficienciesarebecausewheneverwe intendto enter a specific country, we are there tostay.Wewillinvestinthecountryandwillbesincere about our role in society”, says PietHilaridesdeterminedly.

two programs to conduct the missionTwoofthecompany’sinitiativeshaveputtheprinciple of sustainability in real terms: theDairy Development Program and the ‘Drink.Move.BeStrong’ campaign. Both programsarealignedwiththecompany’smantra‘Nour-ishingbynature’andtheglobalchallengeofensuring food and nutrition security for all.Public-privatepartnershipsandstrongleader-shiparethemainingredientsforthesuccessoftheseprograms.

“TheDairyDevelopmentProgramaimstoim-provethelivelihoodsoffarmers inSoutheastAsia,AfricaandEasternEurope”,explainsPietHilarides.“Farmersareonlyabletopassontheir farmtothenextgenerationiftheyhavegeneratedsufficientincome.Weareonamissiontoim-provetheirfinancialsituation,andintandem,to help elevate the quality of their dairy, bysettingupknowledgesharingplatforms,train-ingcoursesandexchangeprograms.”Through the Dairy Development Program,45,000 farmers inAsiaaloneare targeted toimprove their farming techniques and boost

thenumberofsustainablefarmingbusinesses.Piet Hilarides is realistic: “It takes time tochange things. Farmers often have a localview,butwenoticethattheystartseeingthebiggerpictureandinvestingtimeandmoneytochangetheirwayofworkingforthebetter.”

A crispy startup on a path of collaborative innovation

the Dutch startup crisp Sensation has developed and patented a special coating for snack food. when the food is cooked in the microwave, oven or air fryer for just a few minutes, it remains crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and tasty. no more deep-frying in oil is needed. the technology has been welcomed by the food industry as truly innovative.

“Deep-fryingispre-eminentlyunsustainable”,says Carlos van der Linden, Chief ExecutiveOfficer. “Our coating technology providesadvantagesforconsumersbothathomeandoutsideofthehome.Deep-fryingisinconven-ient,dangerousanditsmells.Nowthereisanalternatewaythatmakesthefoodcrispyandtasty.”Apart from the crispiness, convenience andsafety, the new technology characterizesmany other advantages.

There is also a positive effect onenergysavings,asmicrowavesarelessenergyconsumingthanfryers.Andtotopitall,thefatlevel is significantly reduced, depending ontheapplicationandpreparationmethodused.

“Inmyopinion, sustainability involvesevery-thing that contributes to the wellbeing andwelfare of our society. In the food industry,thereductionofwasteandtheimprovement

of health are important”, argues Carlos vander Linden. “15 to 20% of fried food is notconsumed,apercentagethatwecanreducesignificantly.Inaddition,diseasessuchasobe-sityanddiabetesarebecomingmorepreva-lent, particularly with children.

Sustainability and innovation in the DNA of PWNT

Singapore is a hub for innovation and the entire world is watching. this was such a no-brainer for pwnt, formerly known as pwn technologies, and so they chose Singapore as the best

A startup driven by innovation

Jens oreel definitely knew he wanted to change the travel industry when he traveled to bangkok for the first time a couple of years ago. this young entrepreneur and ceo of his own company octotrip felt frustration when he lost a lot of time just making travel arrangements, while more important work-related things were on his mind. it happened during his attempt to visit a temple. he followed the recommendation listed on the tripadvisor site. google maps showed him the fastest way to get there, but a long wait for a cab threw a spanner in the works. his tight schedule forced him to find alternatives and at the same time he had to find an appropriate place for lunch. on that day, the idea behind octotrip was born.

Octotrip is a prosperous startup and creatorof a smart all-in-one business travel solutionhelping business travelers to make all oftheirtravelarrangementsthroughonedigitalplatform: from hotels, Airbnb, Uber, travelpolicies and insurances, to restaurants andlaundry facilities.

On a mission to prevent the spillage of lubrication

the driver of trustlube is to use significantly less lubrication in the dredging, offshore, oil and gas, and offshore wind industries. considering the fact that the company sells lubrication systems and lubricants, this might appear contradictory. yet, the trustlube vision zooms in on sustainability, and the aim is to apply a minimum amount of lubrication to ensure the optimal performance of its clients’ installations.

“The idea behind TrustLube originates frommyvisittoadredgingvesselwhereIslipped,due to the enormous amount of lubricationthatwasonthefloor”,explainsChielvanDae-len,CEOTrustLubeAsia.“Itwasthemomentwhere I realized the need for a reliable andsustainablelubricationsystem.”Today TrustLube designs, manufactures, as-sembles, installs and commissions automaticlubricationandmonitoringsystems.Theirsys-temsareunique in theirability todetect theexactdosage,timeandlubricationrequiredtoensureoptimalperformanceofclients’instal-lations.Theresult isasignificantdecrease inlubrication that flows into the seawater anditgenerates increaseduptimefortheclients’assetsatlowercost.“Weuse70%lesslubri-cationcomparedto14yearsago”,quantifiesChiel.Thesystemusedismodular; itcanstartwithonepointandendupwith2,000 lubricationpoints.

Simplicity as an answer to big problems

Sustainability is for Delta marine consultants (Dmc) a significant pillar in their strategy. with each new solution they design, the reduction of waste, emissions, and noise, and the choice of materials is imperative. Societal and environmental issues are translated into technical solutions, and at Dmc they often see simplicity as an answer to big problems.

IntheNetherlands,DMCanditsmothercom-panyRoyalBAMGrouphavebeenrecognizedasleadingcompaniesinthecirculareconomy,whichislargelyduetothenumerousinnova-tionsdevelopedin-house.“Innovationinourcompanyistrulydrivenbycreative people who are dedicated to mak-ing thingsbetter, environmentally andcosts-wise”, explains Martijn Meijer, Design Man-agerMaritimeStructuresandformerDirectorDeltaMarineConsultantsSingapore.“The‘LowEnergyAsphaltConcrete’issuchasmartsolution.Itisproducedatalowertem-perature than conventional asphalt, resultinginaCO2reductionof30%andenergysavingsof30to40%.Wealsoexperimentwithasphaltthatconsists for93%outof recycledasphaltandnoisereducingasphalt,tolimitnoisepol-lutioninlivingareas.”

“Our parent company, Royal BAMGroup, isequally determined to be successful in theso-called economical most efficient tender(EMVI in Dutch) in the Netherlands”, saysMartijn.“WithEMVI, thegovernment isabletoconsidertendersbasedonboththeirpricesettingandqualityperformance,includingthereductionofCO2,noiseataconstructionsiteand energy savings.

Nonetheless, Martijn also sees other oppor-tunitiesinSingaporeforDMC’stechnologies,like their Ecobeach beach drainage system.With this technology you can trigger naturetodepositmoresandfromtheforeshoreontothebeach,whichhelpsagainsttherapidero-sionofsandonSingapore’sartificialbeaches.Anotherexample is theFineDustReductionSystem.

using a very low level of energy. Other in-novative technologies include the XBloc, aconcreteelementthatbreakswaves,andBox-Barrier,atemporaryflooddefencesystemthatcanbedeployedquicklyandeasilyincaseofemergency.

“Often largehigh tech solutions are impres-sive for Singapore, while we believe thatsimple and small-scale solutions could alsoprovide the answer”, argues Martijn Meijer.“Ourchallenge is toconvince the rightpeo-ple”, continues Martijn, and adds that theirtechnologies are checked and validated byindependentorganisationssuchasTNO(theNetherlandsOrganisation for Applied Scien-tificResearch)andDeltares,whichcontributestotheircommercialapplication.

On the lookout for innovation

tno (the netherlands organisation for applied Scientific research) underlines global trends, such as climate change, lack of resources, urbanization and overpopulation as their priorities.

Driven by building bridges between government, universities and the business community, tno has acted as an independent partner since 1932.

“First on our radar is innovation, and thepurposeofwhatwedoistwofold:toimprovethecompetitivenessofDutchbusinesses,andsecondly,toimprovetheoverallwellbeingofsociety”, explains Ronnie vanMunster, Busi-nessDevelopmentManagerSouthEastAsiaatTNO.
