Nestlé’s real internal growth (RIG), a marker that ignores currency and acquisition effects on sales, was below the firm’s target at 3.5% for its H1.
Reichenberger told Reuters however: “We still aim for 4% [in 2002, but] if it comes to a point that we can only achieve it through reducing our margins we would not do it.”
