Arab Finance: The leading food and beverage company Nestlé will be the sustainability partner of the upcoming edition of the Creative Summit Annual Festival, according to an emailed press release.

The partnership, signed by co-founder of Creative Summit Mai Salama and Chairman of the Board of Directors and CEO of Nestlé Egypt and Sudan Tarek Kamel, is set to bring positive and meaningful change during festival activities.

It will also pave the way for a more sustainable future for the creative industry.

The collaboration aims to reinforce sustainability practices via cutting consumption of single-use plastic products and recycling them during the festival’s activities, which will leverage Nestlé's expertise in this area.

This comes in line with Egypt’s efforts to achieve a safe and healthy environment.

"We are dedicated to establishing strategic partnerships that contribute to realizing our vision of stimulating and supporting the creative industry,” Mai Salama, co-founder of Creative Summit, said.

For his part, Tarek Kamel, Chairman and CEO of Nestlé Egypt and Sudan, stated: "This partnership aligns perfectly with our commitment to environmental sustainability and our strategic objective of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050."

"Additionally, we [Nestlé Egypt] are working towards transitioning to 100% sustainable energy from renewable sources in all our factories by 2025,” Kamel added.

Creative Summit, a pioneering platform fostering creativity and innovation, will launch its Annual Festival 2023 from September 23rd to 25th at Cairo Business Park, in New Cairo.

Under the theme "Driving the Creative Economy to Lead the Way Out", this year's festival is set to be an outstanding convergence of creative minds.
