The AIT Enforcement strategy is made up of 5 interconnected pillars that address the end to end of your problem, and that allow your organization to be better prepared to reduce the risk posed by those illegal products. The pillars are Investigation, Engagement, Enforcement, Regaining, and Protection.
A robust internal program against illicit products affecting your organization, in addition to the sales increase benefit and the protection of your reputation, means that your corporation is concerned with helping customers to be better protected and is committed to helping authorities to address the issue.
Another key benefit is to understand and measure the real impact that illegal products are posing to your corporation, that will help you to ensure that the proper controls are in place and that the invested resources to fight them are being allocated in an efficient way.
The increase in controls by the authorities to fight illegal products affecting your company is directly proportional to the intensity with which these authorities are trained and educated about the problem, and above all, in regard to the negative impacts that those products generate to your consumers and to the governments themselves.
AIT Enforcement will engage local and international law enforcement agencies and relevant organizations, to combat illegal products that affect your company and consumers, this involvement is carried out with the highest standards of quality and professionalism, with the sole purpose of generating interruptions in the illegal supply chain.
One of the greatest benefits of raising the awareness of the authorities is the generation of “passive” control actions against illicit products, that is, those that are initiated directly by the law enforcement agencies without the active intervention of your company.
The most important element is the competitive advantage that your corporation acquires by making the authorities aware of the protection of your brands and products. Criminal organizations will perceive that there is a greater degree of control and supervision over certain brands, and therefore, will choose targets that represent less risk to them, that is, competitors that do not have an awareness program in place.
