Why should access to safe products matter to you? Because the landmark UN Principles for Consumer Product Safety, expressly declare that all persons have the right to safe products, and thus, the entire supply chain is accountable to this imperative, even if in a non-signatory country. Skeptical? A few examples might pique your interest: 1.85 billion people, globally, could be your customers, a population larger than China. Together with their families, they have about $18 Trillion in disposable income. 70% of people with access-limiting circumstances will not return to your business after receiving poor products/service. Over 60% of consumers will switch brands for better accessibility. No matter where you are on the supply chain, you may be overlooking an enormous population, and thus, consumer safety, loyalty, revenue, and compliance. You can't afford to miss this pathbreaking panel with Elliot Kaye, Pinuccia Contino, Tania Vandenberghe, moderated by Belinda May.
