Introduction
With the proliferation of Web 2.0, and recently the spread of social media,
companies and organizations have seen how the online communication sphere can
make or break a company’s reputation. Traditional crisis management and public
relations practices have been put into test, and new ways of managing online
stakeholders’ communications have been examined and created. Although
traditinal media and communication’s best practices are likely to remain effective
and useful in the social media sphere, some of these may need some adaptation or
alteration. The growth of social media, such as Facebook, Twitter and Youtube,
provides growth of another stakeholder relationship where marketers and
communicators need to examine in order to tactically use effective ways of
communicating with them. Otherwise, communications and actions can greatly
affect a particular brand or company. Such has been the case of Nestlé against
Greenpeace.
Nestlé, being a large global company that manufactures and supplies food
products, has always been involved in a number of issues and boycotts pertaining
to product ingredients, environmental issues, economic impact and trade
practices. In some of them, Greenpeace would be involved by routinely attacking
Nestlé in the hopes that the said company would consider more ecologically and
environmentally friendly practices. Such controversy involved Nestlé being
accused by Greenpeace of using palm oil supplier Sinar Mars that caused
continued deforestation in Indonesia, and that this accusation had been put on the
online spectacle of Youtube and Facebook.

Indeed, palm oil has been a huge issue in terms of sustainability for many
years now that manufacturers have been dealing with despite the efforts of the
Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) and improvements in responsible
sourcing efforts made by a number of major food manufacturers and brands
(Harrild, 2010). Greenpeace initiated a coordinated viral campaign and attack
online questioning Nestlé’s irresponsible palm oil sourcing practices by targeting
its KitKat brand. Nestlé’s steps in addressing the online campaign is a case that
provides social media and online communication practitioners a basis on
addressing stakeholder communications to manage a crisis and effectively
communicate with the online audience, especially if activist groups back it up.
II.
Literature Review
Reputation and crisis management have been defined and discussed in a
number of literatures that help in providing explanation on how these two
concepts are used in the field of marketing and communications. Reputation is
often regarded as “a perceptual representation of a company’s past actions and
future prospects that describe the firm’s appeal to all of its key constituents”
(Fombrun, 1996, p. 165). The information that stakeholders get regarding the
organization through the different interactions with the organization and the
media, as well as through second hand information like word-of-mouth, weblogs
or news develops reputation (Coombs & Holladay, 2007). In crisis situations, the
damage of an organizations’ reputation is often positively related to the
perceptions of responsibility for the crisis, or ‘crisis responsibility’ and specific

CRISIS MANAGEMENT BATTLE VERSUS GREENPEACE
4
characteristics of the crisis situation (Schultz, Utz & Göritz, 2011). In intentional
crises situations, for example, the attribution of responsibility and therefore the
danger of reputational threat is the highest (Coombs, 2004). Organizations in turn
react on crises and reputational threats communicatively. Schultz, Utz and Göritz
(2011; p. 21) further added that “analyses of such crisis responses argue that
different crisis response strategies differentially affect a variety of important crisis
communication outcomes including organizational reputation, but also anger,
negative word-of-mouth and account acceptance”.
Crisis communication research primarily tackles the interrelationships
between crisis situations, communication strategies and crisis perceptions
(Schultz, Utz & Göritz, 2011). In discussiong further what crisis communication
is, Seeger, Sellnow, & Ulmer defined an organizational crisis as a “specific,
unexpected and non-routine event or series of events that create high levels of
uncertainty and threaten, or are perceived to threaten, an organization’s high
priority goals” (as cited in Schultz, Utz & Göritz, 2011, p. 21). For Dowling, it
disrupts the social order, affects the interaction of stakeholders with the
organization, while for Patriotta, Gond, & Schultz, it tends to damage the
organization’s reputation and legitimacy (as cited in Schultz, Utz & Göritz, 2011,
p. 21).
Byrd (2012) said that in order to build and maintain the trust of both
internal and external publics, corporate communication practitioners should
recognize that reputation management and relationship-building with shareholders
and consumers are he first componenets that are needed to be given priority in
5. MANAGING THE SOCIAL MEDIA TSUNAMI: NESTLÉ’S REPUTATIONAL
CRISIS MANAGEMENT BATTLE VERSUS GREENPEACE
5
order to be successful even in an unpleasant, hostile environment or situation.
Byrd further added that maintaining the status of being on top and praised for
corporate practices, behavior and social initiatives is not an immediate task for
corporate communication practitioners, but that it is a constant, challenging
operation of assessing the program, planning, executing and evaluating the
program results.
Crisis communication research often claims that the response strategies
during a crisis should be less defensive and more accommodative, aside from
providing further information regarding the crisis itself (Coombs & Schmidt,
2000; as cited in Schultz, Utz & Göritz, 2011). Schultz, Utz and Göritz (2011)
also mentioned that it is assumed that a pronounced acceptance of thew
responsibility of the crisis leads to more positive reactions from stakeholders and
provides a favorable reputation to the organization.
Furthermore, Jordan-Meier (2012) mentioned that communication is very
vital during crisis situations. Furthermore, she argued, “how an organization
communicates during a crisis can mean the difference between survival and
failure. Appropriate and accurate communication is a must, particularly in our
lightning-fast age, where information travels around the globe in minutes, if not
seconds (p. 20).” Jordan-Meier (2012) continued to suggest a four-stage approach
to deal with crisis in terms of the needed resources and required messages –
breaking news (focusing on the details of the incident), the unfolding drama
(immediate shift of focus to the victims – environment or people affected), the
6. MANAGING THE SOCIAL MEDIA TSUNAMI: NESTLÉ’S REPUTATIONAL
CRISIS MANAGEMENT BATTLE VERSUS GREENPEACE
6
blame game (looking for who is responsible), and resolution and fallout (lesson
learned).
Crisis and reputation management take a different spin in terms of
approaches with the proliferation of social media. Freberg (2012) says that
“contemporary public relations practice, and crisis communications in particular,
is being challenged by the emergence of social media. Although many of the best
practices used in traditional media are likely to remain effective in the domain of
social media, some may require adaptation (p. 416)”. Goolsby (2010) said that
social media provides the means for creating new communities and for
reenergizing old communities. These new communities formed by social media
tend to be more aggressive, proactive, and free in voicing opinions, in the same
way as old communities that has shifted their ground on social media. In terms of
credibility of messages being seen on social media, Freberg (2012) further added
that social media users tend to highly comply when messages originated from an
organizational source than when it originated in a user-generated source. Hence,
he concluded that “These results also sound a cautionary note to professionals
developing crisis management plans. The possibility that unconfirmed
information will carry the same weight as official, confirmed information leaves
organizations quite vulnerable to rumor and misunderstanding (p. 421).”
Aula (2010) suggests that a level of consideration should be applied by
corporate executives as to the kinds of concrete reputation risks are produced by
social media, what the consequences are when these risks materialize, how
organizations should try to manage reputation risks emerging from social media,
7. MANAGING THE SOCIAL MEDIA TSUNAMI: NESTLÉ’S REPUTATIONAL
CRISIS MANAGEMENT BATTLE VERSUS GREENPEACE
7
and whether organizations should have an ambient publicity strategy. She further
added that “from the strategic management point of view, a major change will
likely be the shift from a world of careful planning to one of continuous
uncertainty and risks. Because of social media everything an organization does is
profoundly public. Management of ambient publicity plays a central role in
furthering a firm’s strategic goals as it builds relationships with stakeholders,
represents their interests to produce a reputable company, and ultimately creates
value for the firm by enhancing and maintaining a good reputation.” (p. 48).
Byrd (2012) added that relationships are the most basic element that is
taken cared of, nurtured and cultivated when different stakeholders participate in
online communication. Byrd (2012, p. 247) further added that “With the internet
came immense opportunity, and due to the explosion of social media, those tools
pose not only opportunities, but also tangible risks to organizations. However, it is
imperative that organizations that rely on consumers, donors or other types of
public support, understand that the opportunities to engage constituents through
social networks far exceed any risks.”
However, not all instances appear to be a crisis, especially when it appears
online. Coombs and Holladay (2012b) defines what they call as paracrisis that can
“look like” a crisis and does require action from the organization. They added that
a paracrisis does not immediately need to convene the crisis team and operate in a
crisis mode, as the initial stage might just be a challenge. Challenge crises occur
when stakeholders claim an organization is acting in an irresponsible or unethical
manner (Lerbinger, 1997; as cited in Coombs and Holladay, 2012b). The
8. MANAGING THE SOCIAL MEDIA TSUNAMI: NESTLÉ’S REPUTATIONAL
CRISIS MANAGEMENT BATTLE VERSUS GREENPEACE
8
challenge becomes a crisis when the “concern” becomes highly visible and
attractive to a range of stakeholders. In the past, challenges began when
stakeholders petitioned the organization and asked that their concerns be
addressed. If the organization refused, the stakeholders would try to attract public
attention by employing media advocacy (Ryan, 1991; as cited in Coombs and
Holladay, 2012b). Coombs and Holladay (2012b) mentioned that it is necessary
for organizations to be warned about using a social medium to address a paracrisis
when the organization previously never has utilized that social medium, stimulate
people to search for information about the paracrisis and the organization
involved in the paracrisis in that social media, and use multiple, overlapping
communication channels, including both social media and legacy media to
provide stakeholders to experience the message more than once.
Coombs, W. T., & Holladay, S. J. (2012a), in another study, argues that
critical theory, buoyed by acceptance of its key concepts, its increasing access to
presentation venues and journals sympathetic to once-marginalized, alternative
perspectives, is poised to infiltrate the public relations orthodoxy. This possibility offers hope that once marginalized pluralistic approaches, especially critical
public relations, may disrupt the colonization of the orthodoxy and infiltrate
mainstream public relations. It is not a claim that organizations and activists have
already reached an equal power; in fact, managers can still ignore allegations of
activists or discredit their claims, and activists can continue using the power of
advocacy. Coombs and Holladay’s (2012a) point is that “CSR and reputation
provide potential leverage and make activists more salient to corporate managers.
9. MANAGING THE SOCIAL MEDIA TSUNAMI: NESTLÉ’S REPUTATIONAL
CRISIS MANAGEMENT BATTLE VERSUS GREENPEACE

If activists can become more important to managers, activists become more
significant to public relations researchers as well. There is pressing need for a
greater understanding of activists, how they use public relations to gain power,
and their effects on critical corporate assets such as reputations and CSR. The
latent potential of activists to become more prominent actors in public relations
legitimizes them as a focus for study” (p. 885).

Research Questions
This paper will examine the following research questions:
1. How important is transparency when addressing an issue via social media?
2. How should corporations such as Nestlé manage allegations, accusations and
negative comments in social media? How did the approach to censor and
regulate negative comments affect the company’s social media reputation and
footprint?
3. How did Nestlé manage the company’s reputation vis-à-vis activist allegations
from Greenpeach that are fueled further by social media?
IV.
Facts of the Case
Prior to the social media campaign, Greenpeace had already been asking
Nestlé to stop using a palm oil supplier that is known to consciously destroy
Indonesian forests, however Nestlé kept silent on the request (Seibt, 2010).
Thinking that it would give a more impact to catch Nestlé’s attention by using
social media together with a more organized fashion of activities, Greenpeace's
10. MANAGING THE SOCIAL MEDIA TSUNAMI: NESTLÉ’S REPUTATIONAL
CRISIS MANAGEMENT BATTLE VERSUS GREENPEACE
10
campaign against Nestlé was rolled out with a viral ad campaign, social media
campaign and traditional on-the-ground activism targeting the company's AGM
and offices in the UK and Europe.
A video clip which shows an office worker biting into a KitKat containing
an orangutan finger, which dripped blood onto a computer keyboard (Hickman,
2010) has been posted on video-sharing website YouTube on March 17, 2010 by
Greenpeace UK. It also featured a disparaging version of the Kitkat logo with the
word “Killer” on it. The 60-second clip ended with a play on Kit Kat's famous
slogan: "Have a break? Give orangutans a break." The video clip can be accessed
through http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaJjPRwExO8.
Greenpeace claimed that Nestlé’s practices in sourcing its suppliers
contribute to rainforest deforestation and used YouTube as a platform to shock
viewers with a video that likens eating a Kit Kat to eating an orangutan.
According to Ban (2010), Greenpeace criticized the company for sourcing palm
oil from “companies that are thrashing Indonesian rainforests, threatening the
lives of local people and pushing orangutans towards extinction.”. Aside from
this, Greenpeace also created a provocative website,
http://www.greenpeace.org/international/en/campaigns/climate-change/kitkat/.
Nestlé’s attention was caught by the video, and asked Youtube to have the
video removed due to copyright infringement, with the message, "This video is no
longer available due to a copyright claim by Societe des Produits Nestlé S.A."
Fueled by the momentum of the Greenpeace video, anti-Nestlé discussions move
away from activist blogs and land on Nestlé’s facebook page. Nestlé then accused
11. MANAGING THE SOCIAL MEDIA TSUNAMI: NESTLÉ’S REPUTATIONAL
CRISIS MANAGEMENT BATTLE VERSUS GREENPEACE
11
Greenpeace of inciting people and advocates to call, send e-mails and leave
castigating comments on Nestlé's Facebook Page (Blanchard, 2010).
The situation was worsened when a Nestlé representative managing its
Facebook website threatened to delete any comments by users whose profile
pictures used the modified and provocative version of the Nestlé logo, aiming to
make it consistent with Nestlé’s censorship efforts across different online
channels. This hostile approach provoked further harsh comments from Facebook
users.
The anti-Nestlé attack grew and moved wider as environmentally conscious
and concerned Facebook users join the anti-Nestlé crowd. This then was further
picked up by different blogs, online news websites and media organizations,
which covered stories about the incident. The story was followed closely by
specialist media, such as Greenbiz and Treehugger, as well as mainstream media
such as the Guardian and newswires like Reuters (Harrild, 2010).
Instead of trying to control further social media conversations, Nestlé’s
social media team stepped back and adapted a different approach. They dealt with
the short-term impact of the accusation by suspending its sourcing of palm oil
from Sinar Mas. They then followed up with meetings with Greenpeace to open
dialogues and provided them with details of its palm oil supply chains.
To foster its long-term commitment of sustainability, Nestlé appointed
Forest Trust, a credible non-profit organisation that helped the company when it
came to liaising with Greenpeace as well as helping Nestlé to certify and audit the
sustainability of its suppliers.

12
In May 2010, Nestlé also joined the Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil, a
partnership of companies and other parties aimed at eliminating unsustainable
production.
A year later Nestlé had also changed its marketing and communications
strategy by hiring Pete Blackshaw for the new post of global head of digital and
social media. Mr Blackshaw, a newcomer to Nestlé, was recruited to help provide
a fresh perspective.
V.
Analysis
Nestlé’s immediate response when Greenpeace posted the accusations
geared away from discussing the issue at hand but tried to downplay it by
claiming a different issue. While Nestlé has the right to protect its intellectual
property as it see it applicable, censorship of criticisms by inciting copyright
infringement as a disguise is seen as objectionable in the online and social media
sphere. Nestlé’s action of removing comments further flamed the users of social
media, as this was seen as a reflection of the curtailment of their freedom of
expression. The incident also showed that Facebook as an open platform for
discussions can go uncontrollable especially when provoked with threats of
deleting comments. This provides a lesson to social media practitioners that the
openness of the platform for Facebook users to post comments should never be
threatened or compromised at all.
Instead of trying to shut down the conversations on social media, a better
solution in dealing with accusations is to be engaging with critics, listening to
13. MANAGING THE SOCIAL MEDIA TSUNAMI: NESTLÉ’S REPUTATIONAL
CRISIS MANAGEMENT BATTLE VERSUS GREENPEACE
13
their concerns and addressing the issues. Nestlé learned about this the hard way
by realizing how the act of shutting down social media backfires, especially when
the activist giving accusations is an established organization such as Greenpeace
whom a number of netizens and users of social media find credible in advancing
causes related to sustainability. In this situation, Nestlé could have just let the
postings and discussions get into social media, but make itself being highly
involved in discussions by giving statements of what Nestlé is doing to address
the accusations, or even investigate, and then give updates on the progress. Social
media need immediate address from a company’s crisis team to let its users that
the company is aware of the accusations and is conducting investigations.
However, a bigger picture that Nestlé could show and focus much more attention
is to show how to have a dialogue with Greenpeace not on social media, but
perhaps on a sit-down conversation, and try to address and investigate the
accusations. Before Greenpeace's campaign against Nestlé, some business leaders
were already making clear statements about their standards and goals towards
sustainable production of palm oil. When the crisis accusing Sina Mas of being
unsustainable hit, some companies stepped up their efforts, disassociated
themselves from Sinar Mas, and took a positive and engaging crisis management
action. Nestlé could have been quick in doing the same, saying that they would
disassociate themselves from Sinar Mas while an investigation is going on, and
provide a clear message of commitment of its pro-sustainability stance.
14. MANAGING THE SOCIAL MEDIA TSUNAMI: NESTLÉ’S REPUTATIONAL
CRISIS MANAGEMENT BATTLE VERSUS GREENPEACE
14
However, Nestlé was very quick in rectifying its mistakes. It shook up its
social media and crisis communications team, and was able to give a cooperative
stance as soon as the social media mistake occurred.
Sales of Kitkat might not haveen majorly affected in the onset of the
campaign, but the campaign proved how passive consent of people is greatly
affected by the active minority whose opinions and accusations become very
much prevalent and transparent in social media. For activist organizations, this
only shows how their causes can gain more support from more people by
mobilising them through the social media arena.
VI.
Conclusion
The beginning of social media has left public relations and reputation
management professional clueless as to what the rules of engagement would be in
the aforementioned new platform. Most of the companies did not take the
platform seriously that management of company’s social media presence were
assigned to inexperienced staff. However, with a list of companies’ success and
failed stories of engaging its stakeholders in social media, it only proves that
social media presence for companies and brands is a serious matter that requires
planning, training, preparation, focus and direction. With social media being
present for quite sometime, and with a number of monumental and benchmarked
cases of companies’ use and misuse of the platform, rules could have more or less
been put into place as to how to deal with social media when a crisis, or a
reputation accusation strikes.
15. MANAGING THE SOCIAL MEDIA TSUNAMI: NESTLÉ’S REPUTATIONAL
CRISIS MANAGEMENT BATTLE VERSUS GREENPEACE
15
The rule of immediate attention and activation of crisis management team
should be put into place as soon as crises affecting the company’s reputation
attack. Companies should allow free flow of discussions and showcase an
engaging and involved nature when dealing with comments in social media. But
more important is for the company to highlight the steps that they take to be in
touch with groups where the accusations come from, invite dialogues, and try to
address every issue being thrown at them and investigate. Simply put, listening
and talking are just the beginning of the plan. Action is still the best way to
silence the detractors. Lastly, it does not hurt but rather it is for the gain of the
company’s reputation admitting and showing responsibility on things that might
eventually appear to be that of the company’s.
The Nestlé and Greenpeace debacle only showed that crisis and reputation
management in social media should still adapt some of the same best practices in
traditional media. The incident involved the usual stakeholders that could have
been present should the debacle is done in traditional media: advocates and
activists, consumers, members of the media. However, the difference is that when
a different paltform is used, there is a different approach in order to effectively
utilize the said platform as far as corporate communication is concerened. Social
media might have different rules of engagement, but the principles and practices
should still be the same. Companies should immediately engage in social media
before or as soon as crisis and reputation attacks occur, as interactions in the said
platform are immediate and much more public nowadays.
