April 15, 2021

Nestlé is estimated to own over 2,000 brands in over 186 countries, making it the largest food company in the world. Some major brands that Nestlé owns include Gerber, Poland Spring, Kit Kat, Starbucks Coffee at Home, DiGiorno, Hot Pockets, Lean Cuisine, Häagen-Dazs, Purina, Friskies, and much more. This chart meticulously crafted by WyomingLLCAttorney.com sheds light on the staggering empire that Nestlé has built since its founding in 1866:

Despite the unavoidable abundance of logos on the chart, we appreciate how it has been organized in an easy-to-digest style with helpful categories and “containers” for the brands. The neutral background places emphasis on the brand logos themselves, and the everyday objects such as the baby bottle, cereal box, coffee mug, and dog bowl reveals just how much Nestlé has infiltrated the everyday consumer market.

Why is Nestle evil?

While evil is a strong word, Nestlé has been embroiled in quite a few unethical controversies throughout the years. One of the most infamous marketing ploys that Nestlé executed was when they convinced mothers in third world countries that they needed to feed their babies formula, which is less healthy and more pricey than breast milk. Nestlé aggressively marketed formula despite the wealth of research that supported the benefits of breast milk. Many significant organizations such as International Baby Food Action Network and Save the Children argued that the promotion of infant formula over breastfeeding led to health issues and deaths among babies in less developed countries. This was due to factors such as poor water quality (since formula must be mixed with water), using less formula than required due to prices, and natural milk supply dwindling due to not being used, thus forcing a reliance on formula. Low literacy rates in developing nations also contributed, because the mothers could not read the sterilization instructions.

While Nestlé has since pivoted its marketing strategy for formula to support breast milk as the first choice, it is important to be informed. This chart can help those who wish to learn more about the baby brands they own.

Every year, Fortune magazine publishes its much-anticipated Fortune 500 list. This list is meticulously analyzed by company owners, investors, and influential figures in the business world. So, what makes the Fortune 500 so significant? In this article, our team at The Chartistry provides an in-depth examination of the list, exploring why it attracts so much attention and what it takes for a company to be included.

What is the Fortune 500?

The Fortune 500 is the finance magazine’s list of the 500 most profitable companies in the United States. The company ranked at the top of the list brings in the most revenue based on its financial documents from the most recent fiscal year. The Fortune 500 list for 2024 has Walmart ranked in the top spot with revenue of $648.125B. In fact, this giant retail store has been ranked number one for the last eleven years.

What Does It Take to Make It Onto the Fortune 500?

To become a Fortune 500 company, a business must be incorporated and conduct operations in the U.S. In addition, the company’s financial documents must be public for it to be considered by Fortune.

Why Do Companies Want to Be on This List?

Fortune magazine published its first list of the top 500 U.S. companies in 1955. Since then, the presence of reputable companies such as Exxon Mobil, Goldman Sachs Group, and General Mills has given the list an air of prestige. Plus, these 500 businesses bring in incredible amounts of revenue and contribute to the strength of our economy. Wouldn’t you want your company to appear on a list alongside Walmart, Amazon, and Berkshire Hathaway?

Have Any Companies Appeared on the Fortune 500 for Decades?

Yes, some companies have made repeated appearances. Some famous names have been on the list every year since 1955, including Kellogg, Chevron, and Exxon Mobil, to name a few.

Fortune 500 Companies by State

Walmart, the number one ranked company on the Fortune 500, is located in Arkansas, with its headquarters in Bentonville. Fortune’s number two company, Amazon, is the biggest in Washington, with its headquarters in Seattle. Exxon Mobil is the biggest Fortune 500 company in Texas, and it does business out of Houston.

An interesting thing to note about this list is that not all 50 states are home to a Fortune 500 company. The states without one include:

Alaska
Hawaii
Maine
Mississippi
Montana
New Hampshire
New Mexico
North Dakota
South Dakota
Utah
Vermont
West Virginia
