The taste is not a criterion.

We are in one of our 80 factories

fattening.

This is a very large plant

and its equipment is modern.

Everything is computer controlled.

Can be monitored by aeration,

heating and water consumption.

If you look at the hen house

we see that there

many animals inside.

It is an obligation

because the problem,

is that a farmer makes a living

that raising a large number of parts.

During a harsh winter,

eg

heating costs increasing,

margin

the breeder may be near zero.

It varies

between almost nothing

and 20 cents per piece.

To be able to live his activity

it must produce an adequate number of parts.

Here is the delivery area

poultry.

The live chickens are delivered

In these baskets transportation.

The room has light blue

undetectable in the eyes of animals.

They feel

to be in a dark

which the calm.

The goal is that animals are not stressed

before slaughter.

The cages are emptied on conveyor

and animals are directed towards

the slaughter line.

Here the electric stunner.

Inside there is a pool of water so! voltage us.

The heads of the birds are dipped in

and they lose consciousness.

When they leave the stunner,

they are killed by the rotating blade.

In our slaughterhouse

we kill about 12 million birds a year,

which corresponds to an average

OOO 50 cattle per day.

Poultry consumption

is much larger

than in the past.

It is indeed an affordable meat

can be produced easily.

When you look at the amounts currently consumed

one wonders whether it could

to produce as much biologically.

It is now proved that

in the agrarian sector,

any globalizing

and that relocating production.

Is not made, where people eat

but in regions

where you can

produce cheap food.

In our industry

Ie greatest danger

comes from Asia and South America

where the largest producers of poultry

.

They have the possibility

can both export

poultry parts as the international market research

and for disposal of other

their domestic market.

Free trade does not exist.

This is a lie.

Only dominates the fittest.

For example, when Nestl opposes a union

African peasant

it's like Mike Tyson, Ie

world champion boxing

was sent on ring

against a Bengali unemployed

starving.

The power of the largest multinational

expressed through a single digit

as the World Bank published last year.

In 2005

520 / o of gross world product,

ie

wealth produced in a year worldwide,

Was checked

by five hundred companies.

And the sole purpose of these multinationals

is profit maximization.

The largest company

food,

one that employs almost 300 people OOO,

which is active on five continents

and control 8000 marks

is Nestl.

Nestl is currently headed

a friendly Austrian bronzed

UV:

obeys itself

to the internal logic of the enterprise:

maximize

profits by avoiding taxes.

And if it fails,

annually

astronomical profits

for...

Shareholders

then, it will be ejected.

And the enormous power it has today

Hundreds of millions of people

will do him no help.

Profit maximization

deadly is strategy

hierarchies multinationals.

My name is Peter Brabeck

and I was born in Villach in Carinthia.

For seven years now,

I am responsible

Nestl Group

's largest food group

world.

Our turnover is about

90 billion Swiss francs

approximately $ 65 billion

and we directly employ

275 OOO employees about.

It is therefore

a fairly large ship.

We are global company

27th Ia.

It is believed that

now all that is natural is good.

This is a big change,

because, until recently,

We were taught that nature is ruthless.

The man is now able

manage the balance of nature,

but despite this,

doctrine spreads

that instills the idea

all that comes

nature is good.

The bio is a good example.

Ll there would be nothing better.

The bio is not better.

After 15 years of

consumption of genetically modified foods

no disease appeared

United States until now.

But in Europe, we were worried

what could happen to us.

We swim, I think, in full

hypocrisy.

A folk song

from home says:

'' The animals need water and

hollera holleri.''

Do you remember?

The water is of course

Ia raw

largest on Earth.

The question is:

whether to privatize or not

water supply.

Two views clash on this issue.

The first

that I would call extreme

is represented by NGOs,

for whom access to water

should be nationalized.

Other words, every human being

must have access to water.

This is an extreme solution.

And the other says

that water is a foodstuff

and that, like any commodity,

it has a market value.

It is preferable, in my opinion,

to give a value to a commodity

so that we are all aware

it has a cost,

And we take appropriate measures

for

segments of the population who do not have access to this water.

Ll

are solutions that should be implemented.

I sincerely believe

that the primary responsibility of a CEO

is to ensure and preserve

a profitable future and every success

its company.

For only if we can sustain our business

we can

participate actively in solving problems

worldwide.

We can create jobs.

We created 275 by OOO

with a further 1.2 million

Ies

that directly depend on us.

What makes a total of 4.5 million people

:

Each employee depends

Indeed, three other people.

It is therefore

4.5 million people

directly dependent on us.

To create jobs,

you have to work yourself.

And no, as before,

distribute working time.

The main argument, remember,

supporters

the week of 35 hours

work that was available was limited

.

It was therefore necessary that we work less

to improve its allocation.

A proof of the facts,

it proved a bad solution.

To create more jobs, more work is needed

.

Ll need to create a positive image of the world

and I see no reason

not see the future positively

.

We have never had such easy lives

we have never had much money

,

we have never been healthier

and we have never lived so long

that right now.

We have everything we want

, and yet we

of melancholy.

Japanese.

You can see here

how these companies are

modern, ultra robotic

and employ few people...
