How many of the products you purchase in a month can you say you know the full history of? Everything that went into that product, who touched it where and when, and was everyone involved in producing that final product doing so to the standards, regulations and compliance to all ESG criteria? Today we need full visibility and accountability for items we are going to use, wear and especially put on or into our bodies. #OperationalVisibility #ESG #sustainability #accountability #peaceofmind
