Labor Relations and Human Rights Practices

Lactalis Nestlé Produits Frais has been criticized for significantly lowering the prices paid to milk producers—from 363€ to 257€ per 1,000 liters between 2014 and 2016, with plans to reduce further. This drastic reduction places severe economic pressure on producers, undermining fair labor practices and contributing to growing protests. Such actions, which prioritize profit at the expense of producers’ financial stability, are seen as a form of labor exploitation and unethical business practice.
