    Cascale CEO Colin Browne opened the Manufacturer Forum: Shanghai with a candidly honest address. He focused on the impressive role China plays in the industry, the pivotal role of manufacturers and the symbiotic relationship between each stakeholder within the value chain, where Cascale fits into all of this, and why all of our work matters. At his first Cascale event as CEO, Colin certainly made an impression on his audience. We look forward to seeing what’s next and to how, under Colin’s leadership, Cascale can leverage its unifying position to develop true accountability measures and deepen its commitments, driving significant impact across the industry. #CatalystForChange #MFShanghai #ManufacturerForum
