Did Brabeck-Letmathe “change” his statement?

This article states: “Nestlé chairman and former CEO Peter Brabeck-Letmathe stated that "access to water should not be a public right." Nestlé continues to take control of aquifers and bottle their water for profit.[1] Peter Brabeck-Letmathe later changed his statement.[2]”

  2. ^ Confino, Jo (2013-02-04). "Nestlé's Peter Brabeck: our attitude towards water needs to change". The Guardian. ISSN 0261-3077. Retrieved 2016-02-28.

But it can be the case that he meant with the statement that there should be no right to access water without limits, cf. (emphasis added):

I do need to correct a misconception that has fueled a lot of the criticism on Facebook and elsewhere.
I do not deny that clean and safe water to drink or for basic hygiene is a human right. Of course it is.
However, I do not think it is right that some people in the world do not have access to a clean, safe supply when others can use excess amounts for non-essential purposes without bearing a fairer cost for the infrastructure needed to supply it.
When we give water a value, we use it more carefully, and this does not mean privatization.

This is from a video in 2005: I only ask whether “Privatisierung” should not be considered. In many comments afterwards, I never pushed for privatisation of water. I am not in favour of privatising public water supply – I am in favour of efficient management of all uses of water. If you are interested, please see my posts on the issue on the blog.
By the way, the word “Menschenrecht” does not come up once in the video clip, “oeffentliches Recht” for me has a different meaning (in other comments translated as “free good”.

(source)

So I think it is better to say that he clarified his view. -- IvanP (talk) 09:38, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

Without having read the speech itself, it's my armchair lawyer opinion that the differentiation between a "public right" (Oeffentliches Recht) and a human right (Menschenrecht) is legally significant for Nestle. Public right, in the sense of the German word, regulates the relationship between the citizen and the state. Such a right would only be afforded to legal residents of a country and could only be claimed from the respective countries government. Nestle has to respect human rights, they don't have to respect public rights beyond their contractual obligations with a government. If access to water was a human right, Nestle would be liable for damages even when operating with government permission. Thomas Auge (talk) 13:43, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

Please remove US headquarter info from the infobox

In the infobox of this article US headquarter info should be removed because USA is not a special country in any way and we in the rest of the world are not really interested in knowing where is Nestle's other HQs are located. Only main HQ info is sufficient as in other companies related pages. If US HQ info is there then info about Nestle's HQs in other major countries should also be listed there like China, Japan, Germany, UK etc or else it will only solidify our suspicions that American internet companies are nothing but American propaganda tools disguising as open for all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 43.245.148.200 (talk) 14:51, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

In the founder section the Name of George and Charles Page must be mentioned.Since they were also the founder's along with Nestle .They are already mentioned in The history and also the introduction of page Itself. So I believe we must also instill their Names in founder section. 103.155.67.36 (talk) 05:42, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

 Not done: this is certainly not an obvious matter given the two companies merged, but it seems the sources just say that Nestlé was the founder. E.g., the source cited [1]: Henri Nestlé, the company’s founder, or Nestlé (the company) itself [2] [3]: Nestlé’s founder, German-born pharmacist Henri Nestlé. Wikipedia just reflects what is published in reliable sources, so unless there's other sources that characterise things differently, I guess this is what we're sticking with. ‑‑Volteer1 (talk) 16:55, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

Florida

Good evening,

I am currently trying to personally inform myself and contribute to this page on Nestle to include controversies and notes on the company's current ownership, bottling of water etc. in the state of Florida. I have a few articles I'm currently looking at from news sources in Florida and am not certain which are appropriate to cite. I have no access currently to any paywalled academic archives so am limited by google, duckduckgo, etc. in what information I can find.

The biggest thing I would like to add tonight is the word "Florida" somewhere in the page for a company that owns and is bottling, distributing, etc. all of the water in this state. Any and all assistance and/or productive correspondence would be helpful. I'll be here all night.

Thanks, Cy Psicyp (talk) 02:43, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

I'm seeing a lot about a "Seven Springs Water Company" I am not currently entirely sure if this company is owned by Nestle or still exists as its own entity and is selling water to Nestle and am actively trying to find more verifiable and well-sourced information on the topic. It is possible that a page should be made on this company. Psicyp (talk) 03:24, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

I have an automated block on publishing a change to my own talk page that nobody has helped me resolve in a few minutes. Not trying to be a hassle or impatient so I'm gonna take a break for maybe half an hour. Psicyp (talk) 04:03, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

The "M&M desexualization controversy" section needs to be removed as it is not related to Nestea. M&M is Mars product. SsBandit (talk) 04:31, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
