New Awards for Nestlé
The Food and Drink Federation's Community Partnership Awards celebrate the many different ways in which companies make a real difference through their community projects. Nestle UK has been successful in 2 categories this year :–
- BRONZE AWARD Environment – Consumer Facing Initiatives
Nestlé UK believes that by finding long term business solutions it can generate benefits for both business and its local communities. In response to consumer concerns regarding packaging, Nestlé became one of the first UK manufacturers to remove plastic inserts from its chocolate eggs, with the aim of reducing the estimated 4,500 tonnes of waste generated by Easter eggs each year.
