Nestlé Commits to Plant‑Based Growth; Advances Net Zero Agenda in UAE

Nestlé is relocating its Middle East and North Africa headquarters to Expo City Dubai in 2025, placing itself at the heart of the UAE’s Green Innovation District alongside organizations driving sustainability and circular economy solutions. This move aligns with Nestlé’s recent commitment to plant‑based growth, a shift that marks more than a corporate milestone. For decades, global food giants have been tied to animal‑based supply chains and practices often criticized as environmentally damaging and ethically questionable. By setting measurable plant‑based targets, participating in the FAIRR initiative, and embedding these goals into Dubai’s innovation hub, Nestlé signals that the future of food in the Middle East is turning toward sustainability, innovation, and ethical consciousness.
