  • Traub X Crosswalk Report
    Understanding the Unprecedented: Quarantine and its Effects on the American Consumer Overview As the Coronavirus crisis takes its toll on both the psyche and wallets of Americans, we conducted a study to address its impact on the consumer. In our first edition of the Coronavirus Consumer Report we addressed the following questions: 1. How has the Coronavirus and related crisis impacted the ways in which consumers engage in 1 digital content and make purchase decisions? 2. How will these trends shift as the crisis continues and we settle into our “new normal”? The 2 first two weeks of the crisis were a shock to the system. What will the next phase look like from a consumer perspective? 3. Will these trends or some of these trends achieve a level of permanence even after the crisis 3 abates? In order to answer these questions, we partnered with data insights analytics firm, Crosswalk, to analyze the digital data of over 5 million consumers. This edition of the Coronavirus Consumer Report covers the first two weeks of the crisis when Americans went from living what were essentially their normal lives to sheltering at home or a version of it within the span of days. We plan to provide pulse check updates throughout the crisis to see how the trends evolve over time. For this report, Traub and Crosswalk conducted a study of 5.29M consumers who provided self- identified information via social media platforms. We sourced parsed data from digital networks, consumption trends, habits, and language. We then applied our proprietary funnel system to filter the data and assign inferences based on proven correlations between specific data points and demographically known characteristics.

    Nestlé in the United States Creating Shared Value Report 2015 G4-28, G4-29, G4-30 Performance Summary Nestlé’s performance indicators provide a focus for measuring and reporting Creating Shared Value, sustainability and compliance. This performance summary forms part of our communication on progress for the United Nations Global Compact Principles. Unless otherwise stated, performance indicators are for the year ending December 31, 2015. The references in the GRI column relate to the applicable indicator from the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G4 guidelines. We report against GRI G4 guidelines and indicators, in line with the material issues we need to address. The issues are identified through our stakeholder engagement process and they also shape the public commitments we have made. To provide transparency for our stakeholders, we’ve included the GRI G4 Content Index located at the end of this report, where we have indicated the correlation between GRI indicators, our key performance indicators and our commitments. This reporting year was important not just for Nestlé but for the United Nations, civil society and the private sector as a whole. In September 2015, 193 Member States of the UN adopted 17 new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to define global priorities from now until 2030. We are reviewing our commitments against the SDGs and believe we should focus on specific goals where, by the nature of the business we are in, we feel we can maximize our impact on a global scale. Nestlé has worked with dairy farmers throughout its 150-year history. In this photo, farmers deliver milk to the Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company factory in Cham, Switzerland in 1899.

Schwan’s IP, LLC, and Schwan’s Consumer Brands North America, Inc., (collectively, Schwan’s) appeal from the district court’s1 grant of summary judgment to Kraft Pizza Co. (Kraft) on Schwan’s trademark infringement claim regarding the use of the term Brick Oven in describing frozen pizzas. We affirm. 1The Honorable Michael J. Davis, United States District Judge for the District of Minnesota. I. Schwan’s is the second largest producer and supplier of frozen pizzas in the United States. Its pizza brands include Red Baron, Tony’s, and its premium brand, Freschetta. In early 2003, Schwan’s introduced Freschetta Brick Oven pizza, a square, fire-baked crust topped with high quality ingredients. The pizza’s crust is parbaked in a conveyor oven lined with ceramic tiles. The crust is then topped with sauce, meat, vegetables, and cheese in a different Schwan’s facility. Consumers finish baking the pizza in their conventional home oven. Schwan’s considered several names for its new product and ultimately chose Brick Oven, hoping to convey gourmet quality and a restaurant-like eating experience. When Schwan’s began distributing Freschetta Brick Oven pizzas in March 2003, no other frozen pizza on the market used the term Brick Oven to identify certain pizzas, although Weight Watchers marketed a Brick Oven style pizza from 1992-96.
