Abstract
This study examines the context in which child labour accusations against Nestlé are discussed. Based on a thematic analysis, a hundred different data sources have been analysed. Nestlé has been accused of using child labour since 2012 and has been issued to solve this issue ever since. Progress has been made but not enough to solve the many root problems that lay the foundation for the child labour issue. Nestlé has been focussing on reporting on root problems, naming solutions for these problems, and stating the progress that has been made. The reports lacked insight into customer trends, and failures, which were complemented by NGO reports and newspaper articles. The findings confirm that Nestlé has become more profitable in times when they were using child labour, which is seen as a form of modern slavery.
