To add another two cents on this issue:

There were/are other (American) companies that engaged in the same
objectionable aggressive promotion of infant formula.  (Specific
names escape me--it's been awhile since I was active.) These other
companies have stopped the practice due to pressure from concerned
stockholders.  Nestle's has been singled out for a boycott because
they are a foreign-owned company with stock unavailable for public
purchase.  Hence, boycott is the only way to have any effect on
Nestle's policy.

(Apologies if this is inaccurate; this is what I remember from
INFACT literature several years back.)
