Thames contends that Mars still sells candy in the US that contains titanium dioxide as an additive and is “failing to inform consumers of the implications of consuming the toxin”. (Ingredients lists vary, some saying they might or might not contain titanium dioxide.) Bing continues to perform well for master publisher, HarperCollins, who enjoyed 62% year-on-year net sales growth in 2020, with nine new titles scheduled for this year. This yearAcamar Films have welcomed strategic new categories to the consumer product programme taking theUK licensing portfolio up to 25 licensees. 2021 will see new partner Solent launch bathtime and dental productsand children’s audio system, tonies®will be delivering an audio storytelling experience Bingsters will love, slated for a 2022 release.Effective inclusive marketing is more than just about the marketing. While including more customers because you’ll make more sales may be a starting point for some brands with inclusive marketing, that mindset isn’t sustainable. Consumers, particularly those from marginalized communities can sniff out when brands are not genuine. Belonging can’t be faked over the long-term. Ben & Jerry’s has conducted business in Israel with a licensee partner since 1987. Its ice cream is sold by Shufersal supermarkets in Israeli settlements, which was listed by the UN as one of 112 companies profiting from Israel’s illegal activity and human rights violations. These brands are able to stand firm even under the threat of losing some existing customers as they include people from marginalized communities, for a simple reason. Their commitment to inclusive marketing isn’t just about sales. The Volvo Group of Sweden supplies equipment used to bulldoze Palestinian homes. They hold a 27% stake in Merkavim, whose buses are used to transport Palestinian prisoners to and from Israeli jails as well. They have dual play ability, they can be used in the traditional skittle play as well as imaginative play

Last year, demand for Bing products enjoyed an 11 per cent year on year increase, while this year, Acamar Films – the London-based studio behind the IP – has welcomed strategic new categories to the portfolio, dialing the UK licensing programme up to 25 licensees in total. Thames’ argument isn’t without merit. Several other countries have banned titanium dioxide from use in human food. That’s due to high levels of it being able to cause damage to a person’s DNA. This is why the FDA’s regulations only allow a small percentage of the chemical to be used in food, USA Today notes.The popular kids’ property and pre-school series, Bing is continuing to expand its UK licensing programme, building on the success the IP has seen across the toys and wider consumer product space to date. Louise Simmonds, head of UK licensing and merchandising at Acamar Films, said: “It is wonderful to see steady growth across our consumer product programme for 2021 and the support from our partners during such tough times. Thames’ allegation against Mars covers the inclusion of titanium dioxide that acts as a coloring for Skittles. According to the lawsuit, this is a known toxic chemical that should not be included in food made for human consumption.
