.@Nestle Doesn't Deserve Your Hard-Earned Money: a thread
They have been offered a 3 year permit to continue pumping water out of the #SanBernardino National Forest—one of the worst drought regions in the world. In 2016, Nestle took 32 million gallons of water from wells and tunnels in the forest. latimes.com/business/la-fi…
.@Nestle—who continues to market itself as "sustainable"—has failed to submit its report on the "sustainability" of the #conflictpalmoil they use in their products. reuters.com/article/us-nes…
The food company has similarly failed to take action on the tragic loss of forested areas in Sumatra. theguardian.com/environment/20…
Several years ago, Nestle admitted to forced labor in their seafood supply chain. theguardian.com/global-develop…
@Nestle, along with @Hersheys, tried to bid for the dismissal of a case citing they should have to label the products that come from West African areas known for using forced child labor. law360.com/articles/10540…
This, of course, follows allegations that Nestle uses child labor in the production of their chocolate. confectionerynews.com/Article/2018/0…
And despite coming under fire DECADES AGO for their unethical and potentially fatal marketing of #BabyFormula, @Nestle is making headlines AGAIN for questionable practices when it comes to distributing the company's baby milk products across the world. businesslive.co.za/bd/companies/r…
In #Kenya, @Nestle owns a disproportionate of the coffee roasting market (along w/ @Kraft, @ProcterGamble, and @SaraLeeDesserts) and has contributed to the lack of negotiating power for actual Kenyan coffee growers. dailycoffeenews.com/2018/06/25/auc…
From #WaterRights, to #PalmOil & #deforestation, to #InfantFormula & child #slavery, it is clear that @Nestle doesn't care about the little guy — no matter how much money it pumps into a chipper PR strategy. The best way to fight this level of corporate power is to #BoycottNestle
Commit to the #NestlePledge and stand with the THOUSANDS (if not millions) of people that #BoycottNestle. lakotalaw.org/nestlepledge
