Counterfeit: Don’t Buy Into Organized Crime
The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) has launched a global campaign titled “Counterfeit: Don’t Buy into Organized Crime” to raise awareness about the $250 billion a year illicit trafficking of counterfeit goods. The campaign highlights the significant risks associated with counterfeit products, including funding organized crime, compromising consumer health and safety, and contributing to ethical and environmental concerns.
According to industry experts, the counterfeit trade not only harms consumers but also undermines legitimate businesses and national economies. Regulatory consultants emphasize that the sale of counterfeit goods leads to the theft of intellectual property, tax evasion, and unsafe products entering the marketplace. The campaign aims to inform consumers about the broader consequences of buying counterfeit items, urging them to consider the impact on public health and safety, as well as the environment.
In response to this growing issue, industry experts and regulatory consultants advocate for the adoption of tools like the CAMA product mark to distinguish legitimate products from counterfeit ones. By raising awareness and empowering consumers to make informed purchasing decisions, the UNODC campaign strives to reduce the prevalence of counterfeit goods and combat their harmful effects on society.

Understanding the Impact of Counterfeiting:
Industry Insights from Stan Salot and Mr. Jones
Stan Salot is a passionate advocate for consumer and business awareness regarding the severe consequences of purchasing counterfeit goods. As a seasoned industry expert, he recognizes the critical need to educate both consumers and businesses about the risks of supporting the illicit trade of counterfeit products. In response to this, Stan and his team have developed the CAMA product mark—a solution that empowers businesses and consumers with the knowledge they need to make safe, informed purchasing decisions. This mark ensures that products are compliant with industry standards, eliminating the threat of counterfeits in the supply chain.
In an insightful interview with regulatory consultant Mr. Jones, Stan will discuss the collaboration between the Counterfeit Mark Alliance and the UNODC campaign. Together, they aim to drive awareness and empower consumers to take a stand against counterfeiting. Their shared mission is to educate the public about the ripple effects of counterfeit goods, which often support organized crime. By making more informed purchasing decisions, buyers can avoid contributing to this global issue.
Industry Solutions to Combat Counterfeiting and Empower Consumers
The CAMA product mark serves as a powerful symbol for compliance industry trends and is a key part of a broader movement to tackle the counterfeiting epidemic. As part of their efforts, the UNODC campaign recently launched a new Public Service Announcement (PSA) at the NASDAQ Marketsite in New York’s Times Square on January 14. The PSA encourages consumers to “look behind” counterfeit goods, highlighting the many layers of negative impact associated with this illicit trade.
Mr. Jones will delve into the industry insights surrounding this campaign, focusing on the costs of counterfeiting, which go far beyond financial losses for manufacturers. The theft of intellectual property, tax evasion, and the overall damage to company standards are just the tip of the iceberg. The social, ethical, and health consequences of counterfeit goods also cannot be ignored. Many counterfeit products are substandard, unsafe, and even harmful to consumers, making the fight against counterfeiting a crucial public safety issue.
