Vigeo has analysed companies’ prevention of product safety risks as well as their management of product safety incidents. The rating includes how companies’ product safety risks are assessed and how substitutes are developed for hazardous products. In addition, transparent communication on risks associated with the products and the provision of assistance for customers to correctly use these products are of critical importance for the sector and part of the analysis.
