...While researching topics for this project I was directed to the www.brighthub.com website which had an article titled “Real-World Examples of Bad Business Ethics”. The article provided brief descriptions of alleged, unethical business decisions made by McDonald’s, Mattel, Nestlé, Wal-Mart and Citibank. This paper will focus on Nestlé’s unethical marketing of artificial baby milk. The unethical practices of promoting infant formula to new mothers in developing countries was first presented in 1966 in a pamphlet by Dr. Derrick B. Jelliffe titled Child Nutrition in Developing Countries. Dr. Jelliffe, an expert in child nutrition and Director of the Caribbean Food and Nutrition Institute, published the pamphlet in an effort to call attention to the dangers of bottle feeding in traditional and semi-sophisticated populations. From 1966 to 1972, Dr. Jelliffe advocated for restraint on the part of infant formula companies and suggested that government, industry and physicians work together for the health of infants (Newton). It was in 1973 though that the infant formula controversy became public when an article titled “Babies Mean Business” was published in the New Internationalist magazine. The article outlined several unethical marketing practices that manufacturers were engaged in in an effort to promote breast milk substitute to new mothers, doctors and hospitals. One of these practices involved uniformed milk nurses, who were paid a commission by the manufacturer, to distribute...

...Business Ethics and Social Responsibility The World Health Organization found children in developing countries who fed on Nestlé’s infant formula had mortality rates five to ten times greater than that of breast-fed children (Scheid, 2014). The numbers of these mortality rates were astounding to the world when it was discovered that Nestle was the culprit. When Nestle was in its strategic planning process ethics and social responsibility to the community was not a priority. Ethics and social responsibility have a very important role when a company is developing a strategic plan. During the strategic planning process ethics and social responsibility must also be taken into careful consideration for stakeholders within organizations. There are preventive measures that companies can take to prevent unethical behavior and prevent stakeholders from overstepping boundaries. Roles of Ethics and Social Responsibility in Strategic Planning Business Ethics Ethics is defined as the consensually accepted standards of behavior for an occupation, a trade, or a profession (Wheelen & Hunger, 2010). Many will debate whether business ethics actually exists. The argument has been that there is no absolute right ethics. Other debaters believe that ethics establishes a foundation for a business. Every company has a set way of doing and handling business, and this organizational culture will vary depending on the company and industry. In the strategic planning process it is imperative...

...Contents Introduction 2 Ethical Behaviour and Theories 2 Ethical Codes 3 Ethical Dilemmas of Nestle 3 Infant Formula: 3 Overcharged Prices 4 Unfair Labour Practices 4 Steps Taken by Nestle 5 Conclusion 5 References 7 Introduction Marketing ethics can be considered as a subset of business ethics which deals with the study of how ethical and moral standards can be applied to various marketing decisions. Various topics can come under the umbrella of marketing ethics and these are product safety, pricing fairness, advertising honesty, product liability, etc. Corporations have increasingly become very competitive and in the last few years, news of breach of ethical codes of conduct have been highlighted in the media (Boone & Kurtz, 2011). This essay will elaborate upon the marketing dilemmas through the lens of ethics using case example of Nestle. Ethical Behaviour and Theories One of the ways through which moral philosophy and ethics can be viewed is through utilitarianism as proposed by John Stuart Mill who argued that the world exists in an imperfect state and individuals should strive to maximize happiness and stated that any increase in the degree of happiness justified any kind of sacrifice (Fritzsche & Oz, 2007). On the other hand, Kant states that the connection between happiness and virtue arose because of the belief that the rational pursuit of virtue and happiness are same in that they are identical wherein virtue can produce happiness...
