Depressing….they also bought the one and only decent company we use Australia wide for our catering…….and that company had bought up all the Australian good ones, which leaves noone.
Some of those in the list are a tad odd though- Novartis is a huge entity on its own so I’m surprised (and yet not) that Nestle own it, I suspect this list is also companies that Nestle own shares in, and in that respect, they should be ok, as owning part of a company doesn’t make it evil if it still acts independently….yes Nestle do make money via the shares, but so do probably lots of ordinary people, and quite a few employees might suffer there as well.
damn it, I had no idea Nestle owned San Pelligrino… or Uncle Toby’s.
Yeah sorry they are everywhere.
