Fairtrade Kit Kat sitting on a bed of Cocoa Beans
Nestlé UK has announced that Kit Kat, its leading confectionery brand and the UK’s favourite chocolate biscuit, will be certified Fairtrade in the UK and Ireland.
This follows the October launch of The Cocoa Plan which represents a £65 million investment over the next ten years in programmes to address the key economic, social and environmental issues facing cocoa farming communities.
Fairtrade certification will facilitate long-term direct commitments to cocoa co-operatives. The first Kit Kats to carry the FAIRTRADE Mark in the UK and Ireland will be the four-finger version from January 2010.
