“Since the inception, we have always kept our consumers at the heart of everything we do. Therefore, it gives us immense pleasure to receive two People’s Awards for our household favourites, Nescafé and Maggi. With our deep roots in Sri Lanka for over 115 years, we are humbled that our products resonate well with Sri Lankan consumers and we are proud to be a company, which understands evolving consumer needs and preferences. Continuing our journey of offering healthier and tastier food and beverage choices, we endeavour to deliver on our promise of ‘Good food, Good life’, to nourish and delight our Sri Lankan consumers for many years to come,” said Nestlé Lanka Managing Director Jason Avanceña.
