Fairtrade certification of Kit Kat will facilitate long term direct
commitments to cocoa co-operatives including additional payments for the
farmers to invest in community or business development projects of their own
choice, such as improving healthcare and schools.

David Rennie, Managing Director, Nestlé Confectionery UK & Ireland said:

"Nestle sells more Kit Kats in the UK than anywhere else in the world and
I'm delighted that following the launch of the global Cocoa Plan, Kit Kat -
our leading confectionery brand - will now be Fairtrade certified. UK
consumers are increasingly interested in how we source and manufacture their
favourite products and certifying our largest and most iconic brand is one of
the ways in which we are committed to improving the lives of as many cocoa
farming families as possible."

Fairtrade certification is one part of Nestlé's global Cocoa Plan which
will see GBP65 million invested in initiatives such as farmer training and
supply of high-quality plantlets over the next ten years.
