			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A week or so ago Nestle announced that from January the 4 finger Kitkat would be Fairtrade (<a href="http://www.nestle.co.uk/Home/Fairtrade" target="_blank">link</a>)&#8230;which of course for people who Boycott Nestle (<a href="http://www.babymilkaction.org/" target="_blank">largely over their Baby Milk scandels which still continue today</a>) flashes up an ethical dilema&#8230;however I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s time to start buying from the company who are rated 0.5 out of 20 for ethicalness on ethicalconsumer.org.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s take a look at Nestle as a whole&#8230;the company own hundreds of confectionary products, a wide range of instant Nescafe Coffee and not to mention Loreal, Garnier, Go-Cat and Felix (to name a few) yet out of those hundreds of products how many are fairtrade? 1 at the moment and 2 in January.</p>
<p>Nestle&#8217;s Partner&#8217;s Blend Fairtrade coffee has been available for a good few years now yet where supermarkets have made large amounts of their coffee fairtrade and Rainforest Alliance Certified (as have many other companies) Nestle have done nothing making Partner&#8217;s Blend nothing more than a flag they can wave saying &#8216;Look at us, we support Fairtrade&#8230;buy from us&#8217;.</p>
<p>If they truly believed in Fairtrade they would be managed to convert the whole Nestle range by now&#8230;and it&#8217;s the same with the Kitkat.</p>
<p>The 2 Fairtrade products out of hundreds from Nestle is effectively saying &#8216;<em>We&#8217;re going to pay some of our farmers properly and look after communities but we don&#8217;t give a crap about the others&#8217;</em>.</p>
<p>Cadbury are working on making their whole range Fairtrade and have committed to that&#8230;nothing of the sort from Nestle.</p>
<p>So in conclusion Nestle aren&#8217;t very nice still! Fact.</p>
