F O O D SThe HOME of GOOD FOOD

For over 5 decades Flour Mills of Nigeria and its iconic Golden Penny brand have been part of the lives of Nigerians at home and abroad with an annual turnover of N309bn in 2014/15 and a workforce of over 13,000. The company’s vision is to be a premier food group in Africa; providing an ever expanding portfolio of high quality and affordable products to consumers in the most convenient ways; delivered currently through a range of world class flour, semolina, pasta, noodles, vegetable oil and margarine, rice and snack brands supported by the Golden Penny heritage and values.

Flour Mills is also increasing its focus on backward integration in the Agro Allied sector with investments being made in five agricultural value chain crops to support its sugar, rice, edible oil, cassava and animal feed interests. These plans are supported by the country’s largest agro-allied manufacturing, logistics and distribution network which manufactures and distributes inputs, such as seeds, fertilizer and storeage bags and offers farmers extension services while collecting and purchasing nearly 500,000 mt of grains and cereals annually through its agro-hub inland storeage and logistic network.

FMN also has a number of support businesses providing critically important packaging, transportation and logistics service to the whole group.

“Definitely we have to give something back to the Community that will be a win win…” (*)(* Paul Gbededo, Group Managing Director – Flour Mills of Nigeria Plc)

In developing their social investment strategies, FMN operates according to strict qualifying criteria.

- All projects should reflect the principles of FMN

- Projects must benefit either the community / group, employees or the company.

- Projects must be practical to implement, be financially viable and realized within a mutually acceptable time frame.

- Projects must be within agreed budgetary constraints.

- Sectarian or discriminatory projects such as cults that do not embrace an “all welcome” approach are not considered.

- The basic needs of communities and groups – food, shelter, education and skills for employment – are priority.

Project Criteria

Poor nutrition has had a dramatic impact on the fabric of Nigerian society, but it is inter-linked with other social problems that place severe strain on the social welfare infrastructure.

Addressing issues such as crime, poverty, homelessness and unemployment, the abuse of women and children, nutrition intervention, care for the aged, all form part of the company’s social welfare work. Activities are conducted in tandem with relevant business groupings, NGO’s and the communities where the company’s employees live and work.

FMN has projects across the country “we look at education institutions per community, we have given back a lot …. especially primary institutions, renovating their classrooms, making sure that we make the environment conducive for proper education” (*)(* Paul Gbededo, Group Managing Director – Flour Mills of Nigeria Plc)

Social Welfare

A) Women and Child Abuse

A range of projects that provide nutrition, shelter, counseling and skills development enhance the quality of life emotionally or physically abused women and abandoned or orphaned children.

Key Focus Areas

B) Nutrition Intervention

Low income group communities especially those in Nigeria’s informal settlements have special needs for nutrition intervention, hygiene and well-being programmes that feed the aged, poor and disabled. The company is actively involved in meeting these joint needs with feeding schemes, soup kitchens and clinics, providing essential services to the poorest of the poor.

“We also have health centres that we have built for the community”

“We have sunk bore holes for the community to have access to good water”(* Paul Gbededo, Group Managing Director – Flour Mills of Nigeria Plc)

- *** (FMN nominated charity 1) feeds over 100 children a day in this informal settlement north of Lagos

- *** (FMN nominated charity 2) provides simple food and hygiene packs to low income communities in Oyo State.

C) Community Outreach

A considerable number of employees live in poor underprivileged areas. The infrastructure needs within these communities are great and FMN is committed to improving the lives of residents by supporting a range of community initiatives involving schools, local businesses, sporting groups and church bodies.

D) Internally Displaced People

FMN donates products to several State Governments including Borno, Adamawa and Yabe States for onward distribution to the internally displaced people.

As part of the FMN Corporate and Social Responsibility initiatives, visit and present gift items to various orphanages, motherless babies and intellectually disables children’s homes.
