Nestlé and its impact on the local community of a host country in the light of an ethical stakeholder theory

Starting with a short literature study on the impact of multinational companies in their host countries, this essay gradually narrows the problematic down to the introduction of the case of Nestlé’s ‘Pure Life’ in Lahore, Pakistan. After illustrating the problem of Nestlè's impact on the local community in Lahore, the stakeholder typology of Mitchell, Agle & Wood (1997) will be used as an example to evaluate under which premises stakeholder theory becomes an ethical theory, before applying the ethically modified typology on the case.
