Testing on customers is a keystone of innovation. A great initiative by fragrance houses to harness the talent of the visually impaired to use their heightened sense of smell. They are empowered to compete in the workplace exceeding able-bodied peers. This is innovating far more than CSR and creating real value for all concerned.
