THE BOYCOTT NESTLE
While Nestlé boycott is mostly known, we chose this campaign, which has been running, to inform you in what state. And why this multinational is still ignoring thousands of people and organizations protesting the abuse that made the promotion of infant milk.
Background:
UNICEF sources said a million die each year and a half children not fed breast milk. And many more fall ill. Breast milk provides the best way to start living for all newborns, and an important source of survival.
companies producing milk powder promote their products in hospitals and among mothers and health operators to increase their turnover and profits.
The World Health Organization (WHO) and UNICEF have an International Code which prohibits any form of promotion of infant formula. Nestle violates this code more often than your competition.
One of the most successful strategies used by Nestlé is to provide free milk in hospitals, initially making milk bottle favors the failure to accept the breast, the child will therefore be dependent on artificial milk. Once home, the mother will have to buy milk in some places can cost more than half of family income. Sometimes mothers without resources excessively diluted milk powder and it implies a lack of food, as well as in many poor countries the water is contaminated and can cause diarrhea, dehydration and even death. Either the product labels are not in the local language, leading to greater ignorance.
The first Nestle boycott was suspended in 1984 when the company promised to respect the International Code established, but Nestlé breached its promise, and in 1988 resumed the boycott action, concentrating the action in the best-selling product and famous: the Nescafé.
The Nestlé now admits that free supplies are bad, but it does not make them disappear in hospitals, to governments to introduce laws on the subject. Nestlé's works to reduce the use of breast milk and increase the sale of its milk powder.
A resolution of 1986 World Health Assembly stated that "no supply, free and support of powdered milk for children has to offer to hospitals or maternity departments. The small amount needed must be purchased by institutions. "
Does Nestlé boycott is working?
The Nestlé is concerned about the damage that this boycott can have on their sales and reputation. The boycott is supported internationally by thousands of people and organizations, including the Church of England. The boycott will continue until Nestlé cut all irresponsible marketing practices. The company is the subject of a boycott in 19 countries (Australia, Bulgaria, Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Mauritania, Mexico, Norway, Philippines, Spain, Switzerland, Sweden, Turkey, United Kingdom and United States).
