In response to https://blogs.ubc.ca/tannerk/ ‘s blog post about Nestle..
It seems evident that Nestle is trying to cover-up the dark inner workings of their company. While Nestle clearly seems to be pushing aside morals and ethics in regards to how they run their company, can the same be said for the consumers? I wouldn’t use the word “ignorant” to describe Nestle consumers, but rather, that they blindly accept what is given to them. Nestle has indeed faced up to accusations of the inhumane conditions of how their products are manufactured but no lesson seems to be taken to heart. I agree with TannerK that the consequences for Nestle seem infinitesimal compared to what went on during the actual manufacturing processes. Further action needs to be taken- allowing the Fair Labor Association to map Nestle’s coca supply chain is not enough. The problem at hand deals with more than just an apology and a slight punishment for the use of CHILD LABOR. This is a serious issue in the world of business and should not be taken lightly. Stopping the use of child labor is without a doubt important, but getting to the root of the problem and investigating why the use of child labor was present at all, should be the problem we ultimately want to solve.
