150 Years of Iconic Brands

Established in 1866 by pharmacist apprentice Henri Nestlé, Nestlé began with a commitment to quality. Henri sourced only the finest milk to craft his chocolates, and that commitment continues today with our sustainably sourced milk programme.

We believe in the power of our confectionery brands to bring family and friends together, and we’re proud to have created some of the UK’s most iconic treats. Rowntree’s® began delighting families in 1881—just two years after the lightbulb was invented! KitKat® snapped into life in 1935 as an on-the-go snack, and Quality Street® followed in 1936, adding cheer to the festive season since. Together, these classics have become part of British family life, inspiring countless joyful occasions.

While we take pride in our timeless classics, we’re always looking for new treats on the horizon. Our innovative Randoms® and Aero Melts® ranges have introduced a whole new generation to the wonders of sharing a sweet experience.

We’ve worked hard to bring you these treats, and we’re proud to share our historical family of brands with you.

What We Stand For

Creating brands that you know and love is as serious as it is fun. We believe in making treats that not only taste great but also align with our core values every step of the way.

Trust comes from quality, and for 150 years, we’ve built that trust by ensuring every delicious bite is crafted with care. We’re also fully committed to improving the lives of those we work with while lessening our environmental impact. With integrity as our guide, we will continue to forge ahead to a sweeter, brighter future.

Our Responsibility to the Future

From the cocoa fields to your shopping basket, we’re striving for a better future for everyone involved.
Through our Nestlé Cocoa Plan, we’re committed to 100% sustainably sourced cocoa and a better future for its farmers.
Our Income Accelerator Programme (IAP) is working hard to effect real change in the communities through education.
Our Milk Plan partnership with First Milk encourages farmers to adopt eco-friendly practices and commit to reducing their carbon footprint by 50% by 2026.
Our Packaging Plan is working towards a waste-free future through our five-pillar strategy of: Reduce, Reuse & Refill, Redesign, Recycle, and Rethink.
Our journey to Net Zero is well underway, with efforts in regenerative agriculture, reimagined operations, and a transformed product portfolio.

Our ultimate goal is a future where our treats are as good for the earth as they are delicious to eat. See how we’re making a difference.
