A non-profit cannabis group announced a set of standards for the industry last week, aiming to be proactive before a scandal sullies the sector.
“This is the first time that I can think of where an industry’s decided to get CSR right out of the gate,” said Rick Petersen, author of the Global Cannabis Partnership’s, the corporate social responsibility framework. The group includes 45 cannabis companies, government agencies and law firms, representing countries including Canada, the U.K. and Israel.
