Bureau Veritas joins Cascale 2026 in Athens

Bureau Veritas Consumer Products Services will participate in Cascale Annual Meeting 2026, taking place September 15-17 in Athens, Greece.

Rick Horwitch, Chief of Sustainability & Supply Chain Strategy for Bureau Veritas Consumer Products Services, will join the Day 1 Main Stage session 'Transformation Crossroads: What Must Leaders Prepare For Now?' Rick brings 40+ years in apparel, textile, and consumer products and leads BV CPS work on Supply Chain Quality Management and Sustainability solutions.

The interactive Executive Crossfire will invite the audience to identify the external forces they believe will have the greatest impact on the consumer goods industry over the next five years.

The conversation will explore what is changing, what organizations are getting wrong, and what leaders should start doing now.

Rick will bring a practical perspective on why sustainability and regulatory readiness should be approached holistically. Rather than responding to requirements one by one, organizations need to connect sustainability with supply chain quality, supplier performance, waste reduction, operational efficiency, and long-term business resilience.

He will also bring in the ROI dimension. At a high level, BV’s work shows how connected sustainability and quality work can help elevate sustainability performance while creating measurable business return through better quality outcomes, reduced waste, improved efficiency, and cost savings.

This reflects BVCPS's work helping consumer products companies strengthen Supply Chain Quality Management and Sustainability programs so they can protect their brands, reduce risk, improve efficiency, and prepare for evolving expectations. It is also a connection the sector does not always make visible: sustainability performance and business return can reinforce each other when quality is part of the operating model.
