...Nestlé Code Management System | Training Nestlé employees involved in marketing of breast-milk substitutes are regularly trained on the WHO Code. | Nestlé has developed a unique global programme to ensure compliance with the WHO Code across all Nestlé’s operations. GES Investment Services, Northern Europe’s leading analysis firm for socially responsible investments, published a report on “The Infant Food Industry and the WHO Code”. This report is the first of its kind assessing and comparing infant food companies’ compliance procedures with respect to the WHO Code. It concluded: “Nestlé has the most elaborated policies and mechanisms to address the Code, distinctly ahead of its peers”. Nestlé's implementation of the WHO Code includes the following: * Nestlé Policy and Instructions * Training, testing and compensation on WHO Code knowledge * Nestlé WHO Code Management System * Internal Ombudsman System * Internal and External Audits * Internal and External Reporting Nestlé Policy and Instructions First published in 1982, these were developed to ensure complete and correct implementation of the WHO Code by Nestlé. This became necessary because the WHO Code, as a recommendation to governments, does not supply implementation instructions. This is left to national regulation, which may be absent or weaker than the WHO requirements. Training, testing and compensation on WHO Code knowledge Nestlé trains personnel involved in marketing of breast-milk...

...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 free samples...

...Executive Summary The following report supports our thoughts and goals regarding the market development of Nestlé’s Milo. Overseas, Milo has realized success in the marketplace for over half a century. Through our research and findings, we have determined Milo to be a potentially effective product in the United States. Recent global focus on individual health, specifically among children in schools, calls for a drink that provides all of the necessary nutrients for the active youth. As part of a well established global company such as Nestlé, the building blocks are in place for the growth and popularity for Milo. Our report centers mostly on the importance of promotion and place for the success of our firm and our product. In an attempt to create and strengthen the positioning of Milo in the United States, these two areas of the marketing mix will be essential aspects to the growth of Milo. Although the marketplace is currently consumed by well-founded companies such as Pediasure and Ovaltine, we are optimistic that Milo will have an immediate impact on consumers. Through “buzz” advertising and efficient distribution, Milo will continue the tradition of brand equity maintained at Nestlé. Although the economy in the United States is currently subpar, we believe this is a perfect time to introduce our product to a new marketplace. Many young individuals are in desperate need for a healthy alternative to the high-calorie, ultra-sugary beverages that have come to dominate...

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...

...Strategic Analysis of Nestlé and its Competitor Kraft Foods Course: International Business Strategy (IB BA) Professor Lewis University of Applied Sciences Dresden Project Members: Katerina Schneiderova Sandra Merkel Nicole Klötzer Carolin Wiese Samuel Weimer Nicole Schröder Date: 11th June 2010 Executive Summary In the following, two companies and their strategic positions within the coffee consumer goods industry will be described. The focus lies on Nestlé and its competitor Kraft Foods. As coffee is one of the most popular products worldwide, this is a very demanding business. It is necessary to provide high quality products, especially when working in the more affluent segments like Nestlé and Kraft Food do. Several political, economic, social, technical, environmental and legal aspects have an impact on the industry branch they are operating in. In addition, there is not only a differentiation in Robusta and Arabica coffee, but also in filter coffee, portioned and non-portioned soluble coffee. To satisfy the diverging needs of all customers, different strategies are applied to gain more market share. In this report it is examined how those companies operate in the specific business context, what they have in common and where they differ. Furthermore, an analysis of the industry attractiveness, of the market segmentation and value chain and an overview of resources and capabilities are part of this paper. After intense research...

...pharmaceutical industry and Nestlé. Nestlé easily got a high market share in the industry. The general health problems in the aftermath cause a great impact on babies. The number of sick babies increased all the time after the Second World War, because there weren’t the needed minimum required measures of neatness for babies, like sterilized nipples, clean water, clean environments, etc. So breastfeeding wasn’t enough to keep a baby healthy over those years. The infant formula seemed to be a good solution providing the enough amounts of nutrients for a baby. The problems started after the meeting of infant-feeding practices in 1970 and 1972, Bogota and Paris, where a resolution was made: “The report concluded that breast milk was the best food for infants and, if in sufficient supply, would satisfy the need of a child up to 4-6 months. In cases where breastfeeding was insufficient or impossible, the use of nutritional substitutes was encouraged”. The debate created some years before these meetings and the years after seemed to be an ethical issue, of whether if babies must be fed with the infant formula or with the breast milk. The objective of infant formula was misunderstood as a way of replacing the breast milk, most companies including Nestlé, published some policies about is as the one showed in the exhibit 4 of the article {Harrison, N. (1990). Nestlé Alimentana S.A. - Infant Formula (Abridged). Harvard Business School Publishing } where Nestlé...
