Furthermore, they find that consumers are asking: *How was it made? Where was it made? Who made it? Was it made under safe conditions? Fair conditions? Was it verified? Who verified it? How do we know? What do my friends and family think?* Consumers globally believe they have the right to know what products are made of and they want companies to ensure their products are safe and effective across multiple markets and product categories. Consumers are expressing interest in what goes in, on and around their bodies. **Next Wednesday, May 22nd, join CBSR as BBMG, GlobeScan and SustainAbility** present their recent study [Re-Thinking Consumption](http://theregenerationroadmap.com/2012/11/regeneration-consumer-study-finds-consumers-buying-buying/) to learn how "Aspirational" consumers are balancing social and environmental values with material desires to shape the future of sustainability.
