CONCERNS REMAIN ABOUT NESTLE”S CORPORATE BEHAVIOUR
The Swiss multinational company Nestle is the world’s biggest food and drink corporation. In 2009 it reported a net profit of over $10.5 billion.
Yet lingering concerns remain about the ethics of some of Nestle’s business practices. These include its marketing of infant formula in the developing world, its slowness in ensuring the cocoa it sources from West Africa is free of slave labour (despite some recent positive steps) and the tactics it has employed in dealing with a labour dispute in the Philipinnes.
Further information about each of these issues and some suggested actions can be found at the Just Act website
