VEVEY, Switzerland – The Board of Directors of Nestlé has appointed Laurent Freixe, currently Executive Vice President and CEO Zone Latin America (LATAM), as Chief Executive Officer Nestlé S.A., effective September 1. The Board has also nominated Laurent Freixe as a candidate for the Board of Directors at the 2025 Annual General Meeting.

Mark Schneider, Chief Executive Officer, has decided to relinquish his roles as CEO and member of the Board of Directors. Over his 8 years with the company, he has actively shaped the company’s portfolio, in line with Nestlé’s strategy and with a focus on high-growth categories like coffee, pet care and nutritional health products.

Laurent Freixe joined Nestlé in France in 1986. Since then, he has continuously progressed within the company, assuming various positions of increasing responsibility across different businesses, markets and Zones. He successfully managed Zone Europe during the financial and economic crisis, from 2008 until 2014. He then took over as CEO of Zone Americas, where he accelerated growth. Following the creation of Nestlé’s new Zone structure in 2022, Laurent Freixe was named CEO Zone Latin America, where he has been successfully leading through challenging conditions.

Laurent Freixe has been a member of the Executive Board for 16 years and, as such, has played an important role in strengthening the strategic direction of the company and its portfolio. With his profound understanding of Nestlé’s culture and values, he has led several global corporate initiatives to improve productivity, increase operational efficiency, simplify processes and drive innovation. Additionally, Laurent Freixe is committed to developing future leaders and talents, as evidenced by his active role in the Nestlé Leadership and Training Programs as well as the Nestlé Needs YOUth initiative, which promotes youth employment.

Paul Bulcke, Chairman of the Board of Directors, said: “The Board of Directors is delighted to announce the appointment of Laurent as the new CEO. I have known Laurent for a long time and highly regard him as a talented leader with strategic acumen, extensive in-market experience and expertise as well as a deep understanding of markets and consumers. He has demonstrated his ability to deliver results in challenging market conditions. Laurent’s curiosity fuels his passion for innovation and positive change. Laurent is the perfect fit for Nestlé at this time. Under his leadership, Nestlé will further strengthen its position as a dependable, reliable company through consistent and sustainable value creation.”

Paul Bulcke continued: “I would also like to express our gratitude to Mark for his significant contributions to Nestlé and for his outstanding, steady leadership in turbulent times. Mark has been instrumental in the great progress we have made on our sustainability agenda. We extend our best wishes to him in all his professional and personal endeavors.”

Laurent Freixe said: “I am privileged to have been given the opportunity to continue building and strengthening Nestlé, and I am excited to take on this responsibility. There will always be challenges, but we have unparalleled strengths, such as iconic brands and products, an unmatched global presence, leading innovation and execution capabilities, and above all, exceptional people and teams. We can strategically position Nestlé to lead and win everywhere we operate.”

Mark Schneider said: “Leading Nestlé for the past 8 years has been an honor for me. I am grateful for what we have achieved, having transformed Nestlé into a future-proofed, innovative and sustainable business. I would like to thank the entire Nestlé community for what we have accomplished together and wish Laurent all the best in his new role.”

Coffee futures recede on improved weather prospects, weaker Brazilian real

MILAN – The rally in the coffee futures markets has come to a halt: in yesterday’s session, Thursday 22 August, London and New York were down after six consecutive sessions in positive territory, which had brought both terminals close to the historical highs set last month. Ice Robusta’s November contract closed down 1.3% at $4,574, $58 below its Wednesday peak of $4,632.

The Ice Arabica December contract fell 2.5% (-635 points) to close at 242.90 cents. It is worth noting that this Thursday was also the first notice day in New York, when traders can declare their intention to take physical delivery. London first notice day is due on Tuesday next week.

Long liquidation was also fuelled by a weaker Brazilian real, at a 2-week low against the greenback.

The correction in coffee futures came after the latest Brazilian weather reports confirmed that the cold front expected next weekend will not bring frost to the coffee areas, where temperatures are expected to remain in the low teens in degrees Celsius.

Meanwhile, Hurricane Gilma has formed off the west coast of Mexico in the Pacific Ocean and has been classified as a Category three hurricane.

This weather phenomenon is foreseen to be tracking in a westerly direction away from the coastline and not expected to make landfall and thus not seen to pose a climatic threat for the ripening new crop coffees within the Central American and Mexico producer bloc, according to I. & M. Smith.

In Vietnam, the weather has improved significantly and is now presenting favourable conditions for the development of the next harvest.

However, the expected arrival of the La Niña phenomenon could alter the normal seasonal pattern of precipitation bringing rainfall that could hinder bean picking and drying processes.

Domestic prices meanwhile are on the rise this week, while trade continued on a subdued note on exceptionally low supplies at the end of the crop season. According to estimations of the Mercantile Exchange of Vietnam quoted by Reuters, there were only 100,000 tons of beans harvested in the 2023/23 crop season left before the new crop starts in October.

Farmers in the Central Highlands, Vietnam’s largest coffee-growing area, were selling beans for 118,500-119,300 dong (US$4.75-US$4.79) per kg, compared with last week’s 116,900-118,000 dong, Reuters also reported.

Vauxhall reveals MOKKA COFFE-E, a concept designed to provide EV drivers with the perfect coffee break

LUTON, UK – Vauxhall has revealed MOKKA COFFE-E, a one-off concept designed to provide electric vehicle (EV) drivers with the perfect coffee break. A study by the brand reveals that buying a coffee shapes the journeys of EV drivers, with three quarters purposefully choosing charge points where you can buy one. Eighty per cent of Vauxhall owners are coffee drinkers with 64% enjoying at least one cup a day* – the MOKKA COFFE-E ensures drivers have access to their caffeine fix regardless of where they choose to charge.

The MOKKA COFFE-E is designed to “provide drivers with barista-standard coffee even when they are miles away from their favourite coffee shop.” The concept features two coffee machines – ground and pod – both using Mokka inspired premium coffee blends. A milk steamer, coffee grinder, knock box, and fridge are all integrated, ensuring drivers have everything they need to make the perfect coffee. A bespoke pull-out drawer houses barista quality tools, including scales to measure a precise quantity of beans, a Weiss Distribution Technique (WDT) tool to ensure a smooth extraction flow of coffee, and an espresso tamper to evenly pack the grounds, all of which enhance the flavour of brewing the perfect coffee.

The coffee grinder, mini fridge and knock box all sit within a bespoke cabinet, concealed by two Alcantara® covered doors with stainless steel door handles and hand stitched design echoing the interior details of the Mokka Electric. Within the base of the unit is a pull-out table to provide a flat surface to assemble drinks. When not in use, the table stows away securely into the base of the unit and just below that live two hand-crafted British-made Fox umbrellas to account for our unpredictable weather. The fully integrated MOKKA COFFE-E has everything sit neatly within the 310-litre boot of the Mokka Electric.

Alongside the MOKKA COFFE-E concept, Vauxhall has curated a range of coffee blends inspired by the Mokka Electric. To do so, Vauxhall worked with award-winning, British artisanal coffee roasters, Cafeology, specialists in sourcing the finest beans through sustainable and ethical long-term partnerships. The MOKKA COFFE-E range contains a series of six blends all roasted and packaged in Sheffield, inspired by the colour palette of Mokka Electric.

All the Mokka inspired blends are available for drivers to try in the MOKKA COFFE-E. The Iconic Green coffee blend has a creamy and rich flavour with chocolate tones. Voltaic Blue has a sweet and vibrant fruity flavour with notes of blueberry and passionfruit. Contrast Grey is a balanced caramel flavoured espresso with a herbal, earthy body. Arctic White is a medium roast with plenty of molasses sweetness. Cosmic Red has hints of stone fruit acidity, and hazelnut notes throughout. Carbon Black is a delicate coffee with notes of nectarine and blueberry, best enjoyed black.

For those who enjoy the efficiency of a ‘pod coffee’, MOKKA COFFE-E stores reuseable pods in the pull-out drawer, ready for immediate use.

The Vauxhall MOKKA COFFE-E features both pods and ground coffee machines, to ensure that no matter how remote the charge point, all EV drivers can craft and enjoy their preferred coffee.

James Taylor, Managing Director, Vauxhall, said: “Three quarters of EV drivers plan their trips around their desire for coffee so we decided to create the MOKKA COFFE-E, the perfect accompaniment for a charging break – delivering Vauxhall drivers with barista quality coffee wherever they choose to charge”.

The UK is a nation of coffee drinkers, with 95 million cups drunk in a day, and Vauxhall owners are no exception to this, with 64% drinking at least one cup a day. Whether that’s a latte, flat white, cappuccino, or espresso, the Mokka concept has all the tools necessary to craft that perfect coffee – wherever the Mokka’s new 54kWh battery might take you.”

Powered by a new, larger capacity 54kWh battery and a 115kW (156hp) electric motor, the Mokka Electric Long Range can achieve up to 252 miles (WLTP) between charges. Supporting up to 100kW DC rapid charging, an 0-80% charge takes just 30 minutes to complete, the perfect amount of time to enjoy a cup of coffee. Alongside the Long-Range variant, the popular 136PS powertrain remains available, with its 50kWh battery offering a range of up to 209 miles (WLTP).

With Vauxhall’s innovative five-year PCP offer, the recently announced Mokka Electric Griffin is cheaper per month with an equal deposit contribution compared to the equivalent petrol model. This price does not include the savings that most EV drivers enjoy including a lower energy cost per mile (especially when charging on a specific EV tariff at home), lower maintenance costs and an exemption from Vehicle Excise Duty and congestion charging at the present time. Across Vauxhall’s wider line-up, customers can enjoy equivalent monthly payments between fully electric and petrol versions of New Corsa, Mokka and Astra.

By the end of 2024, Vauxhall will offer a fully electric version of every car and van model in its line-up.

IRVING, Texas, USA – On August 28, 7-Eleven, Inc. will debut an exclusive Anniversary Blend of Green Day’s coffee brand, Punk Bunny Coffee, at 7-Eleven, Speedway and Stripes stores nationwide for a limited time. This epic collaboration was brewed up to commemorate the 60th anniversary of 7-Eleven originating the idea of freshly brewed coffee in to-go cups and the 30th anniversary of Green Day’s breakout album.

To celebrate the launch, 7-Eleven and Punk Bunny are offering the chance to win big by honoring the tradition of Green Day fans solidifying their fandom in ink – with a twist. On August 28 starting at 8:00 a.m. ET, the first 50 fans to show up at 7-Eleven at 800 6th Ave in New York City and get inked with a custom 7-Eleven x Punk Bunny tattoo will receive free 7-Eleven coffee for 711 days.* The unique, semi-permanent tattoo is designed by Lady Cobra, a fellow Bay Area native and tattoo artist who will be on-site at the event inking some fans herself.

“This year, we celebrate the 60th anniversary of 7-Eleven as the first national retailer to offer freshly brewed coffee in to-go cups, making us the OG To-Go coffee destination,” said Dennis Phelps, Senior Vice President, Merchandising (Vault & Proprietary Beverages) at 7-Eleven. “What better way to celebrate than by teaming up with Punk Bunny to bring new and exclusive coffee options to our customers and offering a one-of-a-kind coffee experience?”

“When we first came together as a band back in high school, the 7-Eleven in our hometown was our go-to spot,” said Billie Joe Armstrong, frontman of Green Day. “As we celebrate the anniversaries of two of our biggest albums, it’s a full circle moment to have our coffee company Punk Bunny available at 7-Eleven stores.”
