Cindy,

I have found an article very helpful in identifying clearly just how
formula companies subtly undermine breastfeeding while they ostensibly are
offering "support."  Although it deals specifically with why childbirth
educators should not be using formula company "free" breastfeeding teaching
materials, it might be useful for your supervisor to read.
