Nestlé employs graduate nurses as "Health Educators" in the Philippines, who promote Nestlé products to new mothers in the community. This picture shows a "Health Educator" having her log book signed by a mother after a visit where she promoted Nestogen infant formula. Nestlé has claimed that this photograph does not show a Nestlé employee (without even asking us for further details), but Baby Milk Action stands by it. For a first hand account of Nestlé's activities in the Philippines see Hungry for Power on the UK Food Group site.
