Emerging initiatives

Tapestry is now exploring the formation of networks to address other important issues:

How can the industry enhance consumer protection creatively while minimizing adverse effects to product variety, availability, and innovation? Tapestry is seeking ways for regulators, product providers, and subject matter experts to address these issues collaboratively to achieve a positive outcome.

Over the coming months, Tapestry will be working closely with diverse, interested stakeholders to define and launch this important multi-year initiative.
