Winner – Stakeholder Engagement Award 2022
We were delighted to be announced winner of the Stakeholder Engagement Award category at the 2022 Footprint Drinks Sustainability Awards ceremony. This award recognises the NESCAFÉ® Out Of Home campaign ‘The Change is in Your Hands’, which focuses on our packaging recyclability, part of the work that NESCAFÉ® has been doing for over a decade, building global sustainable coffee projects through the NESCAFÉ® Plan.
What we had to say about our win at the Footprint Sustainability Awards:
Vassia Katsogianni, Senior Brand Manager for NESCAFÉ® Out Of Home, said:
“We were delighted to accept the award as recognition of all the hard work that has gone into the NESCAFÉ® Plan and our engagement campaign ‘The Change is in Your Hands’. With our infinitely recyclable metal coffee tins of NESCAFÉ® within Nestlé Professional, we are putting the change in our and our customers’ hands to make the right, sustainable choice and help save up to 400 tonnes of packaging from landfill. Moving forward, and as part of our sustainability promise, we will keep focusing on the long-term sustainability of coffee, as it is vital not only from an agricultural standpoint but also from a livelihood perspective, so that it can be enjoyed by future generations to come.ˮ
Additionally, Isabelle Tarsh, Assistant Brand Manager for NESCAFÉ® Out Of Home who collected the award on Wednesday 21 September, said:
“We are incredibly proud of the work we have done as NESCAFÉ® to make our coffee more sustainable, especially given the impact that climate change will have on coffee farmers and their communities, and it is fantastic to be recognised for that. We know there is still more work to do, but we look forward to stepping up to the challenge, and empowering our customers and consumers to make more sustainable coffee choices.ˮ
