<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nestl\u00e9 is the world's most sustainable food company according to the Dow Jones Sustainability Index1<\/a><\/sup>https:\/\/www.bkb.ch\/de\/privatkunden\/anlegen\/chancen\/2021\/nestle-ein-nachhaltiges-unternehmen<\/span>. Holy shit! Who would have thought that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though I'm quite into the subject... and even though I like to trade 20 to 30,000 euros a month on the stock market... What is the Dow Jones Sustainability Index? Never heard of it. Well, except for Nestl\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the area of the environment, the index rewards the company's commitment to making products and processes as environmentally and socially compatible as possible.2<\/a><\/sup>https:\/\/www.bkb.ch\/de\/privatkunden\/anlegen\/chancen\/2021\/nestle-ein-nachhaltiges-unternehmen<\/span>. Self-commitment, right. In other words, a company that is really bad everywhere has to claim that it will do everything better in future. And then you end up high up in the rankings. It's as pointless as the US Privacy Shield, where you say my IT is secure and then you can happily collect personal data even though, according to the EU, you are based in an \u201eunsafe third country\u201c3<\/a><\/sup>https:\/\/netzpolitik.org\/2016\/logo-ist-vor-einigung-fertig-safe-harbour-2-0-heisst-jetzt-privacy-shield\/<\/span> and well, actually nothing at all mayfest4<\/a><\/sup>https:\/\/dsgvo-gesetz.de\/themen\/drittland\/<\/span>. In both cases, nothing is checked because there is a lack of control bodies and legal regulations. Such nonsense has consequences, there are reasons why the latter was overturned. 5<\/a><\/sup>https:\/\/www.datenschutz-guru.de\/boom-das-privacy-shield-ist-tot-wenig-alternativen-fuer-drittlandsverarbeitungen\/<\/span>. In terms of environmental protection, unfortunately, things look bleak. At Nestl\u00e9 anyway.

Thomas Day from the NewClimate Institute attests that Nestl\u00e9's ambitious-sounding promises have very little integrity. This could \u201emislead\u201c both consumers and regulators\u201c6<\/a><\/sup>https:\/\/www.geo.de\/natur\/nachhaltigkeit\/bmw-nestle-unilever-studie-kritisiert-klimaversprechen-von-konzernen-31610578.html<\/span>. By the way, BMW is also mentioned in the same breath as Deutsche Post DHL. I'll have to take a closer look at the underlying study in detail, also with regard to BMW. Should the BMW Group, which is interesting because of its enormously high dividends and the technological shift towards electric mobility, be the next company to be excluded from my list for reasons of nature conservation? Share deposit <\/a>flies?

Nestl\u00e9 knows that its image is ruined and is deliberately buying up the few well-known competitors that stood for sustainability. Best example: Ankerkraut7<\/a><\/sup>https:\/\/www.wuv.de\/Themen\/Markenstrategie\/W%C3%BCrziger-Deal-Nestl%C3%A9-%C3%BCbernimmt-Ankerkraut<\/span>. Lion's den was that, wasn't it?

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apart from distorted competition, this unfortunately does not change the real problem. Anyone who buys Nestl\u00e9 products like KitKat accepts the practices of the company. And I am not just referring to the palm oil problem, which everyone has heard about by now. Once again, I have a sad story up my sleeve for which we don't even have to travel halfway around the globe. I'd almost bet you didn't know that Nestl\u00e9 was testing on animals to market its Botox products.8<\/a><\/sup>https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjz5c_jiYSAAxXWSPEDHf83AL4QFnoECGsQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww-docs.b-tu.de%2Fnachhaltigkeit%2Fpublic%2FEco-Tipps%2FArchiv%2F202109_Eco-Tipp_September.pdf&usg=AOvVaw2SkwykhN9qeIuycZFC_9LE&opi=89978449<\/span>. It's totally insane how they test. Never before have I read about such an unscientific test set-up. The test set-up, which Nestl\u00e9 does not dispute, to test the tolerability of the Nestl\u00e9 Botox preparation looks - and I kid you not - like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Inject Botox into the abdominal wall of mice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. If more than 50% of the animals die, the dose was too high.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    That's not how science works. We no longer live in the Middle Ages. Quite apart from the fact that one can and does test with human cells in the laboratory instead of with mammals in the torture chamber.9<\/a><\/sup>https:\/\/www.sophienklinik-stuttgart.de\/gesicht\/faq\/ist-botox-ohne-tierversuche-moeglich\/<\/span>10<\/a><\/sup>https:\/\/www.aerzte-gegen-tierversuche.de\/de\/sonstige\/stoppt-botox-tierversuche<\/span>11<\/a><\/sup>https:\/\/www.tagblatt.de\/Nachrichten\/Botox-ohne-Tierversuche-272515.html<\/span>12<\/a><\/sup>https:\/\/www.botox-center-berlin.de\/botox-und-tierversuche.html<\/span>13<\/a><\/sup>https:\/\/www.botox-center-berlin.de\/botox-und-tierversuche.html<\/span>14<\/a><\/sup>https:\/\/www.deutsche-apotheker-zeitung.de\/news\/artikel\/2015\/11\/24\/merz-setzt-auf-tests-ohne-mause<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    That's not all. I bet my ass you've never heard that even Nestea has been tested on animals.15<\/a><\/sup>https:\/\/youtu.be\/LbT8Xw_au94<\/span>16<\/a><\/sup>https:\/\/www.teetalk.de\/forums\/topic\/6036-nestea-und-tierversuche\/<\/span> and Nestl\u00e9 justifies the necessity with legal requirements. Seriously. How much chemical do you have to put in chilled tea for the legislator to force you to test it on animals? Holy shit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    By the way, animal experiments are no longer carried out today. Well, not in Germany. It's all on Nestle's official website17<\/a><\/sup>https:\/\/www.nestle.de\/frag-nestle\/tierversuche<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    That's so absurd, I can hardly believe it myself. I'm sorry, but sometimes you need pictures to get your imagination going. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
