Quote from Bethan:

“I am thrilled to be joining the team here at the Consumer Information Programme and continuing the work of innovating and collaborating on advancing sustainable consumption and credible consumer information through our initiatives worldwide. I am very much looking forward to connecting with MAC members and partners in driving the program forward in its objectives of increasing the standard and scale of consumer sustainability information. In this time of a climate, pollution and biodiversity crisis, the role of consumer information in sustainable consumption and production is more important than ever, so the opportunity to work on this vital area is a true pleasure and I am excited to get started in working with the network and team.”
