Background
Nespresso is an operating unit of Nestlé, and no donation, sponsorship or statement of support for Israel has been documented for the Nespresso brand or for Nespresso Israel. Its Israeli presence is a company-run retail business — boutiques, direct online and phone sales — distinct from Osem-Nestlé, the Israeli food manufacturer Nestlé has owned outright since 2016. That distinction matters when reading claims about 'Nestlé and Israel': the documented wartime aid in October 2023 — food and water shipments to IDF soldiers and rescue forces, deliveries to the Association for the Wellbeing of Israel's Soldiers and to residents of Sderot — was carried out by Osem-Nestlé, the Israeli food subsidiary, and is recorded on the Nestlé page; it was not a Nespresso action, and no equivalent Nespresso Israel donation has been reported in Israeli or international press. The Swiss parent made no statement of support for either side in the war and, in October 2023, temporarily closed one Israeli plant as a safety precaution.

| Type | Date | Amount | Recipient | Sources |

| Operations in Israel | 2021-08 | — | Nespresso Israel Ltd (Petah Tikva) — Nestlé's Israeli Nespresso operation Nespresso runs its own retail and direct-sales operation in Israel rather than working through an outside importer. Nespresso Israel Ltd, based in Petah Tikva, sells exclusively through its Hebrew website, telephone orders and about 12 company boutiques across the country, plus a concept store in the Ben Gurion Airport duty-free area, and Israeli business media put its share of the country's home coffee-capsule market at roughly 60-65% by value. The unit reports into Nestlé, not into Nestlé's separate Israeli food subsidiary Osem-Nestlé: in August 2025 Adi Kohli, who had led Osem-Nestlé's coffee division, was named CEO of Nespresso Israel, and Israeli coverage of the appointment noted that Nespresso and Osem are both owned by global Nestlé. This is commercial retail presence, not a donation or statement. |
