So that's where they draw the line?!
The untold truth is that feelings were reportedly involved. Which obviously cannot be allowed to stand.
I guess they feel being capable of a romantic relationship is a sign of having compassion. Unacceptable.
It is possible they wanted to fire him anyway. My guess is that the code of conduct policy is only enforced when they want to oust someone at his level. He'll likely get a massive severance package on the way out. Looks like Nestlé has been struggling this year.

Looks like he was appointed just over a year ago.

Nestlé is literally a Captain Planet villian in Corporation form.

Show of hands: who expected high ethical standards by Nestle's CEOs?
Wanna bet the romantic relationship was compromising in some way? Like banging the board’s chairman’s daughter?
Or someone inside the company? (I’m imagining something beyond simply dating someone. Maybe something with “favors”)
Nothing will ever absolve Nestle of the absolute mess they've made, but honestly surprised to see a company sack a CEO for once
