Nestlé-Free Zone

The following organisations and individuals have given indicated their support for the boycott of Nestlé over its aggressive marketing of breastmilk substitutes.

We do not have staff resources to actively seek endorsers. We need public support to update and expand this listing. If you would like your organisation to be added to this list (or think an organisation has changed its name, no longer exists or has dropped its support for the boycott) then contact us or see our draft boycott resolution – click here.

If you would like materials to encourage an organisation you support to endorse the boycott, see the Nestlé-Free Zone. You will also find resources there to brand your organisation’s website as a Nestlé-Free Zone.

BUSINESSES

Wholefood businesses:
