Nestlé UK & Ireland will help 8,000 families who might otherwise go hungry during the school summer holidays, as the company announces a £1 million investment to work with social enterprises Community Shop and FoodCloud.

We have received a lot of comments and questions following our decision to move KitKat from Fairtrade to Rainforest Alliance certification. We are grateful for the opportunity to talk to the Fairtrade All-Party Parliamentary Group today about the reasons behind the move, as well as the comprehensive range of measures we are putting in place to support the Ivory Coast farming communities who supply us with cocoa for KitKat.
