==Labor issues==

===African cocoa plantations accused of child labour and trafficking implicate Nestlé: 2001===
Nestlé was once again at the center of controversy for buying cocoa which may have been produced using child slaves from the Ivory Coast and Ghana, .<ref>[http://www2.jsonline.com/bym/news/jun01/response24062301.asp "Nestlé implicated in child slave labour in Ivory Coast"], JS Online, ''Media Release'', Accessed December 2008</ref>. A report by the [[BBC]] showed that hundreds of thousands of children in various african countries, including Mali, Burkina Faso and Togo were being '''purchased''' from their families and sent to Ivory Coast, to be sold as slaves to cocoa farms.

:"These children, ranging in age from 12 to 14 years (and sometimes younger) were being forced to do hard manual labor 80 to 100 hours a week, paid nothing, barely fed and beaten regularly. In the widespread uproar caused by the reports, Nestlé expressed its 'concerns' over the use of child labour but '''could not confirm that none of its chocolate was derived from slave-labour sources'''"<ref>[http://www.corporatewatch.org/?lid=240 "Nestlé Corporate Crimes: child slaves in Ivory Coast"], ''Corporate Watch, accessed December 2008</ref> <ref>[http://www.corpwatch.org/article.php?id=12754 "AFRICA: The Dark Side of Chocolate"], Corporate Watch, , Media Release, October 2005</ref>

===Working against unions: 2002===
Many allegations and accusations have been made as to Nestlé's involment in oppressive and hostile measures taken towards worker unions. In late 2001 management at a Nestlé subsidiary named '''Comestibles La Rosa''' threatened workers that in order to keep their jobs they were obliged to renounce union membership.

:"Even now, Nestlé has refused to acknowledge publicly the work of the unions and to disassociate itself from any threat and use of force against their members. In October 2002 and March 2003, SINALTRAINAL tried, with the support of various Swiss trade unions and social movements, to make contact with the central management of Nestlé with a view to solving the problems in Colombia. Nestlé has twice refused such discussions."<ref>[http://www.colombiasolidarity.org.uk/content/view/175/54/ "Another Nestlé Scandal in Colombia: more than 200 tons of powdered milk decommissioned"], Colombia Solidarity, Media Release, November 2002</ref>

==Human rights issues==

===The Ethiopia scandal===
Oxfam, a group of "thirteen non-governmental organizations from three continents working worldwide to fight poverty and injustice", revealed that Nestlé was demanding millions of dollars in compensation from the Ethiopian government. The $6 million demand was issued for shares in the agricultural firm ELIDCO (Ethiopian Livestock Development Company), which was nationalised following the military '''coup d'etat''' of 1975. The money demanded by Nestlé "could provide clean water to more than 4 million people in Ethiopia and fund the construction of 6,500 wells".<ref> [http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2003/jan/24/debtrelief.development "Nestlé u-turn on Ethiopia debt"], The Guardian, January 2003</ref> 

===Human rights violations in Colombia: 2008===
The Permanent Peoples’ Tribunal (PPT), led by Nobel peace prize winner, Adolfo Pérez Esquivel, accused 43 companies present in Colombia of various human rights violations.  The Tribunal, consisting of various international notables, made such accusations after almost three years of investigating allegations of human rights violations in Colombia. 

Among the companies accused of human rights violations are [[Coca Cola]], Nestlé, [[British Petroleum]] (BP) and Telefonica. The PPT also said the Colombian Government is equally responsible for the violation of human rights, “favoring capital over people’s lives”. <ref>[http://www.business-humanrights.org/Documents/PermanentPeoplesTribunal "July, 2008: The Permanent Peoples’ Tribunal (PPT) accused Nestlé of human rights violations in Colombia"], Business and Human Rights Resource Center, accessed December 2008</ref> 

Luciano Enrique Romero was a trade unionist and a fired Nestlé factory worker whose body was found in a paramilitary-controlled area of Colombia in 2006.  The body had been tied up and showed evidence of torture.  He had been been stabbed 40 times. Romero's widow, Colombian labor union SINALTRAINAL and the Washington-based '''International Labor Rights Fund''' filed a lawsuit in Miami charging Nestlé USA and Nestlé of Colombia with complicity in his death. According to the suit, "Nestlé operated in complicity with the paramilitary", so much so that there was even evidence that "Nestlé plant managers met openly with them inside the factory in Valledupar, in northern Colombia"<ref>[http://www.laborrights.org/end-violence-against-trade-unions/colombia/969 "Murder in Colombia Prompts Group to Sue Nestlé Units in Miami"], International Labor Rights Forum, Media Release, accessed December 2008</ref>, <ref>Jane Bussey [http://www.laborrights.org/end-violence-against-trade-unions/colombia/969 Murder in Colombia Prompts Group to Sue Nestle Units in Miami], Miami Herald, October 28, 2008</ref>

==Product safety issues==

===Artificial baby milk controversy: 2006===
As the world's largest artificial baby milk producer, Nestlé has been pinpointed as a leading cause of the increasing worldwide infant mortality rates. The World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates that 1.5 million infants die each year because of inappropriate feeding, given the fact that children vulnerable to disease are being fed with artificial breastmilk substitutes rather than naturally breastfed.<ref>[http://www.babymilkaction.org/resources/yqsanswered/yqacode.html "Nestlé at the center of artificial breastmilk and increasing infant mortality rates"] ''Baby Milk Action Organization, accessed December 2008</ref>

:"A [[World Health Organization]] (WHO) International Code governing the marketing of artificial baby milk, drawn up in 1981 and agreed by 118 countries, says breastfeeding should be promoted above all other products and that leaflets and labels relating to breast milk substitutes should do nothing to undermine this. But '''Nestlé''' and other companies have been accused of flouting the rules with advertising, free samples, promotions and sponsorships.  The latest monitoring report from the International Baby Food Action Network (IBFAN) uncovered about 2,000 violations of the code in 69 countries, with Nestlé responsible for more violations than any other of the big 16 baby food companies studied"<ref>Corporate Watch [http://www.corporatewatch.org/?lid=240 "Nesté Corporate Crimes: Artificial Baby Milk Controversy"] ''Corporate Watch website'', accessed December 2008</ref> <ref>[http://www.babymilkaction.org/CEM/compjune04.html "Nestlé at the center of violations of the International Code governing the marketing of artificial baby milk"], ''Baby Milk Organization, accessed December 2008</ref>

===Fraudulent Labeling: 2002===
In November 2002, police ordered Nestlé Colombia to withdraw from the market nearly 200 tons of imported powdered milk. The milk had come from Uruguay under the brand name '''Conaprole''', but the packages had been relabeled as coming from a nearby Nestlé factory, as well as being stamped with false production dates that differed almost an entire year from the ACTUAL production dates. A month later another 120 tons with similarly false country of origin and production dates were discovered, indicating the presence of systematic fraud.<ref>[http://www.colombiasolidarity.org.uk/content/view/175/54/ "Another Nestlé Scandal in Colombia: more than 200 tons of powdered milk decommissioned"], ''Colombia Solidarity website'', Media Release, November 2002, accessed December 2008</ref>

==Anti-trust & tax practices== 

===Spy hired to infiltrate NGO: 2008===
The Swiss chapter of anti-globalizaion NGO '''Attac''' asked local authorities to investigate Nestlé for allegedly hiring a spy to infiltrate the group. The legal complaint was filed after learning that an employee of the '''Securitas AG''' security company took part in its private meetings between late 2003 and June 2004. "The meetings were part of a research project that culminated in the publication of a book titled "Attac against the Nestle Empire," which criticized the company's position on genetically modified organisms, water privatization and trade unions."<ref>[http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/06/20/business/EU-FIN-Switzerland-Nestle-Activists-Infiltrated.php "Swiss campaign group says food giant Nestle hired spy against it"], International Herald Tribune, Media Release, June 2008, accessed December 2008</ref>

==Corporate accountability==

Over the past 50 years, '''Nestlé''' has been at the center of documented controversy concerning its methods of marketing processed milk or baby formula as a substitute for breastfeeding. The company's activities attracted worldwide attention during the Nestlé boycott of 1977, <ref>[http://www.breastfeeding.com/advocacy/advocacy_boycott.html "The 1977 Nestlé Boycott"], Breastfeeding.com, accessed December2008</ref> which led the company to make various attempts to improve its public image, launching some '''Fairtrade''' products in the meantime<ref>[http://www.nestle.co.uk/OurBrands/AboutOurBrands/Beverages/PartnersBlend.htm "NESCAFÉ Partners' Blend: Nestlé's new Fairtrade coffee"], Nestlé UK, accessed December 2008</ref> All the controversy surrounding the swiss conglomerate has contributed to making it one of the world's most boycotted brands<ref> [http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/businessinsight/archives/2005/09/01/branded.html "The world's most well-known and boycotted brands on the planet"], Business Insight Blog, accessed December 2008</ref>

In spite of numerous and controversial accusations, Nestlé's Business Code of Conduct asserts that:

:"Since its founding, Nestlé’s business practices have been governed by integrity, honesty, fair dealing and full compliance with all applicable laws. Nestlé employees worldwide have upheld and lived this commitment in their every day responsibilities ever since, and Nestlé’s reputation remains one of the Company’s most important assets today."<ref>[http://www.nestle.com/AllAbout/Governance/CodeBusinessConduct/CodeBusinessConduct.htm "Nestlé Business Code of Conduct"], Nestlé, accessed December 2008</ref>

==Social responsibility initiatives==

Perhaps in order to turn attention aware from its negative product safety and human rights publicity, Nestle has begun to [[greenwash]] itself, releasing reports regarding its reduced carbon emissions and water withdrawal over the last decade.<ref>[http://www.environmentalleader.com/2008/03/04/nestle-releases-csr-report/ Nestle Releases CSR Report]", <i>Environmental Leader</i>, March 4, 2008.</ref>, <ref>[http://www.csrwire.com/profile/8844.html Nestle Profile], CSR Wire, accessed February 2010</ref>

==Political contributions==

[[Joe M. Weller]], then Chair & CEO of Nestlé USA, was a [[Bush Pioneer]] having raised at least $100,000 for [[George Walker Bush|Bush]] in the [[U.S. presidential election, 2004|2004 presidential election]]. <ref>[http://www.tpj.org/docs/pioneers/pioneers_view.jsp?id=1124 Bush Pioneer Joe M. Weller], ''Texans for Public Justice'', accessed August 2007</ref>

Nestlé USA gave $15,900 to federal candidates in the 2008 election cycle through its [[political action committee]]s - 56% to [[Democrats]], 44% to [[Republican Party (USA)|Republicans]].<ref>[http://www.opensecrets.org/pacs/lookup2.php?strID=C00087882&cycle=2008 Nestle USA 2008 PAC], Open Secrets, accessed January 2011</ref>, 

==Lobbying==

Nestle SA spent $2,815,660 for [[lobbying]] in 2010.  $670,000 went to seven outside [[lobbying firms]] and the remainder was spent on in-house lobbyists. Firms used included [[Policy Directions Inc.]], the [[Nickles Group]] and the [[Podesta Group]].<ref>[http://www.opensecrets.org/lobby/clientsum.php?lname=Nestle+SA&year=2010 2010 Nestlé lobbying expenses], Open Secrets, accessed January 2010</ref>
