Nestle Part 4

Basically, Nestle need to stop their extortion and their bullying of people inferior to them. They're damaging themselves as well as the people around them, though they get money out of it, which is all they seem to care about. A business' main aim, at the end of the day, is to make a profit, though it shouldn't mean that people suffer in the process. I don't see that they have any other option than to change what they're doing. Their reputation as a company, being as big as they are, is not good in any sense. This heavily links back to my previous post in the fact that they need to do something about how they are run if they want to be taken seriously. Being seen as ethical will be so much more beneficial compared to if they carry on like this. Being respected as a company is massive, as over time it can only mean more customers. There is only one way to stop the endless boycotts, they need to change.

There are many more examples of unethical practise that they have shown over the years. This website lists quite a few examples of how they been completely unethical.

Most of the information I used came from this website, which summarises their shady business quite nicely.

Finally, I will link an article from the Guardian which discusses the famous milk scandal.

People all around the world find their behaviour disgusting, yet they have done nothing to prove to people that they can be good.


Wikipedia have a really good article on the Nestle Boycott, and they go into great detail about the impact they had on struggling mothers across 3rd world countries. It highlights the full extent of their impact on 3rd world countries and such. The Nestle Boycott was quite influential and brought to light the actions of Nestle and it helped people realise the controversy happening around them. You could call this a success.
