On February 14, 2025, the "Navigate the Fast-paced Era, Co-build the Consumer Goods Ecosystem" - the 3rd Global Consumer Goods Industry Compliance Forum of Ligou in 2025 was successfully concluded in Shanghai. This forum was like a grand industry event, attracting top legal and compliance experts, well-known partner lawyers, etc. from the global consumer goods industry to gather together.
At the beginning of the forum, a number of industry leaders delivered keynote speeches, analyzing the complex situation faced by compliance in the consumer goods industry at present. In the field of intellectual property compliance, experts pointed out that with the advent of the digital wave, counterfeit and shoddy products are flooding through online channels. Enterprises must strengthen their awareness of trademark, patent and copyright protection and build a comprehensive intellectual property monitoring system. For example, a well-known fast-moving consumer goods brand shared its successful experience of using blockchain technology to trace the origin of products, effectively cracking down on counterfeits and safeguarding its own intellectual property.
Supply chain management compliance also became a focus. Against the backdrop of an increasingly complex and unstable global supply chain, there are hidden compliance risks in every link from raw material procurement, production and processing to product distribution. Experts emphasized that enterprises need to establish a strict supplier screening mechanism and conduct in-depth investigations into aspects such as suppliers' environmental protection measures and labor rights protection. A representative of a multinational retail enterprise shared a case where, by signing detailed compliance agreements with suppliers and conducting regular on-site audits, the enterprise successfully avoided supply chain risks and ensured the smooth delivery of products to the market.
During the lively discussion session, participants expressed their opinions freely and had in-depth exchanges on cutting-edge topics such as compliance challenges in emerging markets and the integration of sustainable development and compliance. The forum not only provided a platform for industry insiders to exchange ideas, but also helped consumer goods industry enterprises build a scientific and reasonable compliance framework through the release of professional reports, guidance manuals, etc. Many enterprises said that they would optimize their internal management processes based on what they learned from the forum, actively embrace compliance changes, promote enterprises to embark on a new journey of high-quality development, and inject new vitality into the healthy and orderly development of the global consumer goods market.
