Abstract
From January 1st, all Nestlé Professional UK & Ireland confectionery brands, including Kit Kat and Aero, will be produced using certified sustainable cocoa, sourced through the Nestlé Cocoa Plan.
George Vezza, managing director, Nestlé Professional UK & Ireland, said: “We’re very proud to have reached this landmark milestone, as part of our long-term commitment to making a real difference to cocoa farmers and their communities.
“Now the Hospitality and Foodservice Industries can serve products with the confidence that they are made with cocoa that comes from 100 per cent certified sustainable sources.”
The Nestlé Cocoa Plan, launched in 2009, aims to improve the profitability and sustainability of farms, advance the social conditions for local people and in turn develop a sustainable supply of high quality cocoa for Nestlé.
