Nestlé, the world's largest food and beverage company, has appointed JLL as its global real estate service provider. The mandate includes the provision of integrated services in lease management as well as strategic advisory services for Nestlé's entire real estate portfolio. This portfolio comprises office, industrial, and retail properties spread across 130 countries.
The current assignment builds upon existing leasing services that JLL already provided for Nestlé. The new mandate integrates JLL Work Dynamics and Leasing Advisory service areas within a coherent account structure. The aim is to deliver flexible customer service coordinated across different regions and business units.
Beyond the services already mentioned, JLL will provide additional real estate services. These include expertise from the Valuation and Risk Advisory as well as Portfolio Services divisions. Furthermore, the technology division JLL Technologies will be integrated to implement modern solutions.
Strategic Alignment and Technology Deployment
Martina Williams, Head of JLL Work Dynamics Northern Europe, highlighted the increasing importance of integrated, data-driven real estate solutions. She stated that forward-thinking companies no longer view real estate as static fixed costs, but as a dynamic value-creation factor for their business operations.
JLL's technology platform, equipped with AI-powered analytics and data visualisation tools, is designed to provide Nestlé with enhanced insights. This supports decision-making across the entire global real estate portfolio. The tools enable executives to work more efficiently with corporate real estate and facility management data. Furthermore, public and non-public market information will be combined to identify investment opportunities and make more informed capital decisions.
Andy Poppink, CEO Leasing Advisory for EMEA and APAC, emphasised that clients expect tangible value from their real estate – be it through cost optimisation, increased flexibility, or improved supply chain resilience. He expressed his pleasure at the expansion of the relationship with Nestlé and the opportunity to deploy JLL's market expertise, global platform, and analytical tools to support Nestlé's objectives across its diverse global portfolio.
