Categories for Most Trusted Consumer Packaged Goods
Brands
LAVAL, Quebec,
June 22, 2017 /CNW/ -- Valeant
Pharmaceuticals International, Inc.'s (NYSE: VRX and TSX: VRX)
wholly owned subsidiary, Bausch + Lomb, a leading global eye health
company, today announced that Bausch + Lomb contact lens solutions
have been named the most trusted contact lens solution brand
for the second consecutive year in Canada by BrandSpark
International.
The 2017 BrandSpark Most Trusted Awards were given based
on the results of a survey of more than 20,000 Canadians.
According to the results of the survey, the main reasons
consumers shared that they trust Bausch + Lomb was due to the high
level of performance and quality experienced using the company's
contact lens solutions, such as Biotrue® and
renu® multi-purpose solutions, as well as the amount of
recommendations received from their optometrists to use the
products in their contact lens care regimen.
"To be recognized by consumers as their most trusted
contact lens solution brand for the second year in a row is quite
an honor and accomplishment for Bausch + Lomb," said Joseph C. Papa, chairman and CEO of Valeant. "It
is a testament to the company's continued commitment to
providing innovative eye care technologies that meet the
needs of customers and their patients, and a reflection of the
value our dedicated team brings to work each day as they
fulfill Bausch + Lomb's mission of protecting, enhancing, and
restoring people's eyesight around the world."
The survey asked participants to name their most
trusted brands in the consumer packaged goods industry. The
open-text responses and reasons for trusting those brands were
analyzed by BrandSpark researchers and ranked based on the greatest
volume of mentions.
