How can any company know if its processes, products, people are safe? Only if everyone is watching and telling the truth. The first part can be assumed; the second cannot.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There's a strength to being able to look at products through a customer's eyes, but it is also dangerous.
Most big companies work in stealth until they think they have a consumer product ready to go.
When a company creates a product that directly or indirectly adversely impacts the health of people, that product must be regulated. The process by which it's created must be regulated. No company has the right to injure people. No company.
Every business and every product has risks. You can't get around it.
Manufacturers must accept responsibility for their customers' safety.
If all of us work in accordance with rule of law, if rule of law is implemented, we are all safe, investors are safe, people will be safe.
Sometimes you have to scare people to save their lives. But I'm very much against it if you're trying to sell a product.
Companies should have a due diligence process to determine the likelihood that their technologies will be used to carry out human rights abuses before doing business with a particular country or distributor.
When you build a product, you make a lot of assumptions about the state of the art of technology, the best business practices, and potential customer usage/behavior.
You can say the right thing about a product and nobody will listen. You've got to say it in such a way that people will feel it in their gut. Because if they don't feel it, nothing will happen.
