Commitment to Develop Healthy and Nutritious Products As consumers become increasingly health-conscious, the demand for healthy food choices is on the rise. In response to the positive demand, QL is dedicated to providing a range of healthy and nutritious products that meet consumers’ increasing need for healthier food options. Upholding our Health and Nutrition Statement, QL will continuously improve food quality and enhance the nutrition of our products based on industry recognised health and nutrition standards without compromising on taste. Customer Satisfaction, A Reflection of Our Products Customer satisfaction and feedback are essential to keep our existing customers and retain new ones. QL conducts annual surveys through an independent external subject matter expert to obtain valuable feedback from customers on two core brands – QL Eggs and QL Mushroom. Customer feedback provides valuable insights for us to improve our products and services. In FY2023, we retained a high level of customer satisfaction for QL Eggs and QL Mushroom products, with both brands maintained 99% Fair to Excellent ratings. For QL Eggs, the rating category of Excellent dropped across all the criteria while rating category of Good improved. Under the rating category of Excellent, customers rated food quality/taste, cleanliness/ hygiene, and packaging appearance of QL Mushroom brand products higher. Based on the insights, we will continue to work towards improving customer satisfaction. We also track the number of customer feedback received through our feedback channels. In FY2023, we received a total of 2,808 customer feedback, all of which were addressed and resolved. QL strives to improve our customer care with a more strategic and responsive approach as well as improve accessibility of feedback channels for customers.
