rashore Posted September 3, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Quote One of the world's largest food and drink companies has warned proposed legislation requiring big business to report on their efforts to combat modern slavery could hit consumers' hip pockets. Companies operating in Australia with an annual turnover of $100 million or more would be required to annually report on the risks of modern slavery within their business and the actions they've taken to address those risks under the federal government's draft Modern Slavery Bill 2018. https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/nestle-says-slavery-reporting-requirements-could-cost-customers-20180816-p4zy5l.html 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glorybebe Posted September 3, 2018 #2 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Have they not been watching social media? It may not matter about their report if they start getting boycotted because of this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have been boycotted when they said they wanted to privatize all the water, claiming it was not a human right to have water. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orphalesion Posted September 3, 2018 #4 Share Posted September 3, 2018 (edited) What are they even trying to achieve with a warning like that? Are they trying to justify the things they have done/allowed to happen in the past? Are they trying to get the larger public to look away so that they can continue? It's just disgusting.

freetoroam Posted September 3, 2018 #5 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Quote The reports would have to cover issues related to human trafficking, slavery, sexual servitude and child labour within businesses' operations and supply chains. Nestle in 2015 acknowledged serious issues with slavery in its supply chain after commissioning global non-profit Verite to investigate six production sites in Thailand Nestle has also acknowledged issues with child labour in its cocoa supply chain and spoken strongly against the practice. Why are they still in business? These people do not care, they only care when someone mentions it. They knew damn well what was going on. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they care so much they felt the need to tell everyone that they would pass the cost along to the consumer. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If water isn't a human right, then there are no human rights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kismit Posted September 3, 2018 #9 Share Posted September 3, 2018 It won't hurt my back pocket. I avoid buying Nestle's products as much as I can already. None of it is necessary food items. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been boycotting them since then. I still have a hankering for Allen’s Lollies, sadly Nestle owns them. And Uncle Toby’s Oats. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still would love a cookies and cream chocolate bar, but not as much as I love(or need) water. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
