Boycott Watch received an email
claiming that many bottled water products are French owned, and therefore
should be part of the French products boycott. While some French products
boycott websites list these water products, Boycott Watch researched the claim.
Note: Boycott Watch is not advocating any boycott,
but will investigate product claims regarding this other boycotts.
We started our research in the most obvious way, by
visiting www.perriergroup.com, the web site submitted to us, which redirected
us to www.nestle-watersna.com which clearly names Nestle as the parent to the
water company. The obvious question was then is Nestle a French company? That
was easily determined by checking their web site, where we discovered that the
corporate HQ address is: |
| |
| Nestlé S.A. |
| Avenue Nestlé 55 |
| 1800 Vevey |
| Switzerland |
| |
Since Nestle is based in
Switzerland, it is therefore not French. Rather Nestle is a Swiss company.
Boycott Watch gained much notoriety by verifying the
claims of all the web sites advocating the French products boycott, and
reporting the facts back to the boycotters so they can report accurately. In
this research, Boycott Watch established the set of standards and held the
boycotters to them making sure that the products boycotted are actually French.
The standards included basic information, such as the corporate headquarters
location to determine if the company is in fact based in France. Our research
was universally accepted by the major web sites advocating the French products
boycott because it was a fair standard, and thus we corrected many
misconceptions. Boycott Watch once again cleared the air to bring the truth
out.
