Business Ethics: Nestle




Nestle is one of the world’s leading company in nutrition, food and wellness. Nestles mission state is “Good Food, Good Life” they believe in providing consumers with the best food, most nutritious choices in a wide range of food and beverages from morning to night. The company’s business strategy states on its site “Nestle believes that it is only possible to create long-term sustainable value for our shareholders if our behavior, strategies and operations also create value for the communities where we operate, for our business partners and of course, for our consumers”.
A company who believes in creating value in their communities also had suppliers who violate the human rights acts.  This is not creating value at all for the communities where they operate at. This is highly unethical for a business to do because they contradict their business strategy. These unethical practices hurt a company in many ways, such as future endeavors, drop of shares, etc.  This is an act of unethical business practices that happens around the world in companies no matter their size.
