Human rights responsibilities of Nestle Swiss multinational food and beverage company

Abstract

As more and more multinational companies emerge, they bring unlimited convenience and innovation to people's lives, benefiting generations of human beings, people's livelihoods are secured and multinational companies achieve financial freedom. However, at the same time, the conduct behind multinational corporations is a hot issue of concern to the whole society. In recent years, many multinational corporations have been exposed to have the problem of human rights violations, including illegal employment of child labourers and endless beating or even killing of them, which seriously violates the basic right of survival of children. The research in this paper is focused on explaining and analysing the behaviour behind the individual cases of illegal child labour at Nestlé, and suggesting relative legal penalties and guidelines for child protection, and finally suggesting solutions and recommendations for the current situation of human rights violations by transnational companies. It is recommended that Nestlé multinationals should focus more on direct regulation and be more concerned with the transformation of legal remedies, which is an important way to address the current problems. In general, Nescafe should be aware of the current problems and comply with the law, stop violating human rights and give children around the world a happy and pure childhood.
