Sustainable economic development and consumer literacy
The conflict between a company's obligation to address environmental issues and ``external diseconomies'' such as product quality issues has recently come to the fore as an issue of food damage to health, even at a well-known pharmaceutical company. As with the selection of investment products, for example, when it comes to purchasing pharmaceutical and health foods, I believe that a certain level of consumer literacy needs to be improved to make wise choices.
企業の環境問題への取り組み義務と製品の品質問題などの「外部不経済」との相剋は、今回著名な某製薬会社ででさえ食品の健康被害問題として浮き彫りとなった。
投資商品の選択と同様に例えばこのような医薬健康食品の購入に関しても一定の消費者リテラシーの向上により賢い選択が要求されるかと思います。
