In this regard, most industry suppliers already are proactive. The Quality Certification Alliance (QCA), a Chicago-based accreditation organization aimed at ensuring "safe, high-quality, socially compliant and conscientious merchandise" in the promotional industry, has 25 members, each vetted through multiple third-party audits and inspections. Many other suppliers, like EMT, audit independently. "We take several steps to ensure that our distributors and their customers are receiving the best product available," Tantillo said. "We do factory inspections and product testing on a consistent basis. Education is also ongoing and focused on current state and federal legislation and best practices."
