Message from the Founder

Continuing on
Our Journey
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
It has been three years since the day our company went public, on May 6 of the year
2014. It continues to be a moment of pride and humility for me, as you expressed your
confidence in our business, our brands, and our management team.

Today, I am grateful to you, our shareholders, because you continue to support us in


our vision and plans for the future. There is many more to come!

First and foremost, it remains a very exciting time for our country as its economy
continues to be one of the best performing in both the region and the world.

A bigger part of our population is now at working-age and low inflation has helped
increase their purchasing power. Our hardworking OFWs abroad and BPO workers at
home have also contributed substantially to our GDP growth.

These have presented many opportunities for our company to participate in the strong
economic development of the Philippines. It is in this environment where we pursue
relentlessly our mission to nourish and delight everyone, everyday, everywhere.

Today, over 100 million Filipino consumers support our products and our brands, so
much so that they buy over 10 of our tin cans per year. To them, I give many, many
thanks.

which is composed mostly of canned fish, meat, and milk.
• The Philippine market for shelf-stable, canned food products is double that of the
next biggest market which is Indonesia.
• Domestic consumption of these products is the largest within ASEAN and maintains
its significant growth potential.

Sustainability
Report
Century Pacific remains a committed member of global initiatives that
address sustainability issues, particularly those involving tuna supply.

In particular, its ongoing membership in the International Seafood Sustainability Foundation


(ISSF), through wholly-owned subsidiary General Tuna Corporation, requires strict compliance
to all ISSF conservation measures. ISSF engages MRAG Americas to conduct an audit of this
performance against conservation measures and commitments in force since 2015.

MRAG’s latest audit showed General Tuna Corporation as fully compliant with all measures. A
summary of the 2016 ISSF Final Compliance Report of General Tuna Corporation is presented
here. The Company’s full compliance audit results as reported by MRAG are available on the ISSF
