"You can’t use good intention. You have to prove to these networks that you’re actually putting mechanisms in place to validate what you’re putting out to the world. When [big retailers] are putting out a claim on a label to the world, they can’t go on good intentions. Neither can the banks.

You have to have transparency as to how you came to those conclusions.” - Aaron J. Furman
