Selskap som Coca-Cola, Nestlé, Uniliver m.fl. utsettes nå for enormt og stadig sterke press fra opinionen og miljøorganisasjonene. Det sier seg selv at disse selskapene og deres brands ikke tåler "styggen på ryggen" stempelet de nå i stadig sterke grad får på seg, særlig lenge. Det holder ikke med prat, de må vise noe, eller skal vi si mye, i praksis. Bra for kloden vår! Bra for Tomra!

Coca-Cola may have been named by Greenpeace as one of the planet’s worst polluters and a burden on the public health system, but it appears to be changing its tune – or at least trying to.

Despite a less-than-rosy track record, the soft drink manufacturer is now calling for companies and CEOs to start behaving more responsibly.

Speaking to Your Money chief business reporter Leo Shanahan, Coca-Cola Amatil managing director Alison Watkins elaborated on the company’s new stance.

“We know expectations are changing a lot and our consumers care a lot,” Watkins told Trading Day.

“They want to see us take leadership on issues like obesity and reducing sugar in our drinks and also on packaging and addressing the challenges that we face as a society around waste and litter…It’s really a logical thing from a business point of view.”

Nestlé: Slay the Plastic Monster you created

by Mirjam Kopp 25 March 2019


For anyone who is familiar with Southeast Asia, plastic pollution seems to be everywhere, but the problem actually began somewhere else— it started in the boardrooms of the top multinational companies, when they decided to dump products packaged in single-use, non-recyclable plastic in places where there is no infrastructure to manage them. Simply put, these companies created a #PlasticMonster.

That’s why we’re going to ship this plastic monster back to where it was created. As part of the global #BreakFreeFromPlastic movement, we are demanding corporations take concrete, bold action to stop producing throwaway plastic.

Nestlé and Unilever were named as the top plastic polluters in the Philippines, based on a series of waste audits done there by the Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives (GAIA).

This past weekend, Greenpeace activists and volunteers paid a visit to Unilever. We danced our way to the headquarters in Rotterdam, Netherlands, and delivered a huge plastic monster.

Now we want Nestlé to get the message too: you created a plastic monster, and it’s about time you take responsibility for it.
