Our Impact Stories

Reducing virgin plastics

As part of our efforts to reduce virgin plastics in our own brand packaging, we conducted a trial to eliminate excess headspace in the packaging of our Pasar and Simply Finest brands of vegetables. This reduced 3% of packaging content from each pack of vegetables, removing more than 230 kg of virgin plastics from our vegetable packaging in 2023.

SME Suppliers Support and Development Programme

Tai Hua’s relationship with FairPrice is deep-rooted in more than 40 years of history. They are also one of the suppliers supported under FairPrice’s SME Suppliers Support and Development Programme (SSDP). Under this programme, FairPrice’s suppliers benefit from shorter payment terms which improves their cash flow, and also enjoy a slew of other support packages including significant discounts on fees as well as marketing and promotional support

Our Commitment to Net-Zero

For over five decades, we’ve made it our mission to provide daily essentials at reasonable prices, and this dedication continues to drive our commitment to be an environmentally responsible retailer. Our goal is to halve our Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, and to achieve operational net-zero by 2045.

Our Sustainability Impact in 2023

Our Sustainability Journey

The first seeds of sustainability germinated in FairPrice some 40 years ago. Since then, we’ve achieved many firsts – from being Singapore’s first supermarket to stop selling shark’s fin in 2012, to pioneering a plastic bag charge in 2019. We believe our journey will bear fruit for the collective future of our people and planet.
