Corporate communication

Counterfeit label advertisements may have been prevalent in part because Postal Inspection Service Communications focused more on informing the public about counterfeit stamps, not labels, as of January 2026.

The Postal Inspection Service and Corporate Communications shared documentation of eight public communications relating to counterfeit postage dating back to February 2023.

All eight communications mentioned counterfeit stamps.

However, only five mentioned counterfeit labels.

We recommend the Vice President, Chief Information Security Officer, in coordination with General Counsel and Executive Vice President, Vice President of Government Relations and Public Policy, and the Chief Postal Inspector, establish a strategy to enable the removal of counterfeit label posts and advertisements from social media websites, and or advocate with lawmakers for such changes.

Recommendation number 11.

We recommend the chief postal inspector, in coordination with the vice president of corporate communications, develop a strategy to effectively communicate to the public the risks of purchasing or using counterfeit labels.

Postal Service Response Management agreed with Finding 5 and Recommendations 10 and 11.

But making sure that you're doing it as thoughtfully as you possibly can, as ethically as you possibly can, and not having to go back and clean up a mess later because you didn't do that.

And I, there are, I'm sure some other organizations like us, but I mean, in terms of knowledge of the organization, Corp Comms is right up there.

We know a little bit about everything.

So it's like, we ought to be at that conversation up front.

In New York City recently, just after the Sustainable Apparel and Textiles Conference, Innovation Forum's Head of Portfolio for Apparel, Niamh Campbell, spoke with Mobin Chowdhury, Group Head of ESG and Corporate Communications at Pakistan-based denim manufacturer Surteh Enterprises.

They started by discussing a role-play exercise that Mobin had held at the event.

So for this discussion, we wanted to dive a little bit more specifically into an exercise that you ran at the event.

I mentioned earlier that we do recruit industry across our region.

And then we partner with the TBA, Corporate Communications, to market and tell the good story about our region and the work that we're doing at TDA and with our partners.

One of the programs I wanted to pull out that was instrumental in getting us the mindset for preparing to growth was the TDA certified mega site

program.
