I copy an article of mine from the 1990s:
“Peter Brabeck-Letmathe was CEO (managing director) of Nestlé at the time, today he is its Chairman (chairman of the board).
There were ‘sparks’ with Brabeck during one of his visits to Milan. We were in the fruit and vegetable department of the Superstore in Corsico…
Then, as none of us had any interest in quarrelling, everything returned to order.
And Nestlé, very realistically, will end up eliminating GMOs from its products in Italy’.
The fact that as honorary chairman, Brabeck- Lemathe was no longer listened to and questioned makes one realise how much Nestlé has lost its bearings. And in fact, for years, it has been going through a deep crisis, which seems to have no end ( it had its biggest problem with water and frozen pizzas. On water it got away with it).
