The nation’s capital city and the country’s second busiest airport feature in the latest video by Nestlé, centred on the UK’s headquarters.

This video shot in London and Gatwick is presented by Assistant Media Relations Manager Alex Price, who gives viewers a tour of the city. Highlights include Nespresso’s flagship boutique on the world famous Regent Street, as well as the first ever Nespresso café in the heart of the vibrant district of Soho.

Nestlé had its UK headquarters in Croydon, in greater London, for almost 50 years in “Nestlé Towers” before moving to Gatwick in 2012. With fast links to the capital and flights to the rest of the world, the airport-based office is an ideal location for company’s corporate headquarters.

Nestlé today announced that it will invest up to CHF 2 billion to lead the shift from virgin plastics to food-grade recycled plastics and to accelerate the development of innovative sustainable packaging solutions.

Building on its 2018 commitment to make 100% of its packaging recyclable or reusable by 2025, Nestlé will reduce its use of virgin plastics by one third in the same period whilst working with others to advance the circular economy and endeavor to clean up plastic waste from oceans, lakes and rivers.

Food quality and safety are paramount, and packaging plays a major role in assuring this. Most plastics are difficult to recycle for food packaging, leading to a limited supply of food-grade recycled plastics. To create a market, Nestlé is therefore committed to sourcing up to 2 million metric tons of food-grade recycled plastics and allocating more than CHF 1.5 billion to pay a premium for these materials between now and 2025. Nestlé will seek operational efficiencies to keep this initiative earnings neutral.

Nestlé, the world’s biggest food and drink maker, is supporting Veganuary and the growing band of people eating less meat (flexitarians) with a wide range of products to help British and Irish consumers fully embrace new eating habits.

Nestlé has more choice than ever before for people who wish to follow flexitarian and vegan diets but do not wish to compromise on taste and value for money. In a big nod to Nestlé’s recent innovation efforts around plant-based ingredients, Subway UK has picked Nestlé Professional’s Garden Gourmet brand as the sole provider of vegan ‘meatballs’ in their new ‘Meatless Meatball Marinara’ which launched in January 2020 and is available in all Subway stores across the UK.

Nestlé, the home of iconic coffee brands Nescafé, Starbucks and Nespresso, continues to strengthen its position as the number one player in the UK coffee category thanks to a programme of innovations and new product developments.

Expansion started early in 2019 with the launch of Starbucks for Nescafé Dolce Gusto, the first wave of Starbucks at Home products to be developed. The deal gave Nestlé the perpetual rights to market Starbucks Consumer Packaged Goods and Foodservice coffee and tea products around the world (outside of Starbucks coffee houses and excluding Ready-to-Drink products). Starbucks for Nescafé Dolce Gusto brought American style barista grade coffee into the home and introduced a new younger audience to the Nescafé Dolce Gusto single serve system. Later in the year Starbucks launched on the Nespresso line, bringing the iconic American coffee to even more UK consumers at home. The full Starbucks by Nespresso range is the only Nespresso approved capsule available in supermarkets and utilises Nespresso’s premium aluminium knowhow to ensure a perfect cup every time.

The start of summer saw the launch of Nescafé Azera coffee bags, the brands first ever roast and ground coffee, guaranteeing a great cup of coffee without any of the hassle or clunky machines usually involved making roast and ground. Available in an Espresso and Americano roast, the coffee bags were specifically designed to be enjoyed either hot or as a smooth cold brew (brewed in a fridge overnight).
