Free croissants! Octopus Energy teams up with Caffè Nero for a tasty weekend giveaway

• Giveaway to celebrate Caffè Nero being supplied with 100% green electricity from Octopus
• Part of the ‘Octoplus’ rewards scheme, free croissant deal available to the first 10,000 customers
• Limited time offer available from Friday 4th to Sunday 6th October

London, Friday 4th October 2024 – Octopus Energy customers have the opportunity to get free croissants this weekend, to celebrate premium coffee house brand Caffè Nero being supplied by 100% green electricity from Octopus in the UK.

Valid for a limited time only from this Friday 4th October until Sunday 6th October, Octopus Energy customers can activate this exciting deal through the ‘Octoplus’ rewards scheme.

The exclusive offer is available for the first 10,000 customers to claim it.

Customers can redeem their free croissant code on the Octopus Energy app by the end of this weekend at a Caffè Nero store of their choice - and start the weekend with a tasty pastry.

This comes as the independent family-owned premium coffee group has switched over 630 stores in the UK to Octopus Energy’s ‘Electric Match’ tariff.

This innovative tariff enables them to make the most of affordable green energy and brew coffee with the power of the sunshine and breeze.

This latest pastry perk is in addition to the benefits customers can already enjoy through the ‘Octoplus’ rewards scheme, including a complimentary weekly drink at Caffè Nero stores.

It’s the next step in the strategic partnership between Octopus and Caffè Nero which began earlier this year, all with the aim of promoting a more sustainable future for customers and employees.

Rebecca Dibb-Simkin, Chief Product Officer at Octopus Energy, commented: “Since April, our customers have enjoyed free weekly coffees at Caffè Nero. To celebrate Caffè Nero’s switch to 100% green electricity from Octopus, they can now also grab a croissant this weekend. We’re helping Caffè Nero save on energy bills while going green, and it’s brilliant to be able to reward our savvy customers too, with more exciting freebies to follow.”
