Nestlé Professional’s new plant-based Garden Gourmet burger, Nescafé Azera coffee and YES! nut fruit and vegetables bars will be added to the matchday food and beverage offering at the Etihad and Academy Stadiums.
The partnership is aiming to create new opportunities for the local community using foodservice and football as ‘tools for social change.’
Katya Simmons, managing director at Nestlé Professional, said: “The partnership with Manchester City, the Premier League champions, will help further boost the value we offer as a leading food and beverage company.
“This strategic collaboration aligns to Nestlé Professional and City’s shared values to create new opportunities to nurture talent, make more possible and help communities”.
Nestlé Professional will be supporting Manchester City’s club charity, City in the Community, which aims to provide young people with the skills and qualifications to gain local employment.
Damian Willoughby, senior vice president of partnership at City Football Group, added: “Manchester City prides itself on partnering with some of the world’s leading organisations, so we are thrilled to be announcing this exciting new partnership with Nestlé Professional.
“By enhancing the vegan options throughout our stadiums, we are offering fans an even wider selection of high-quality food and beverage options.
“This relationship exemplifies the club’s ongoing commitment to sustainability and throughout the partnership, we will be collaborating on several exciting initiatives that use football as a force for social good to empower better lives and help drive new opportunities”.
