One of the strategic goals of the VARES Association is to create a universal tool that will allow displaying the maximum number of black retailers and white retailers in one place, so that everyone can easily navigate the market situation in Ukraine.

Such a tool will be the Black Store Map — an open database and map where:
• anyone can submit the fact of sales of counterfeit products;
• the information will be verified;
• after confirmation, the point will appear on the map, and the retailer will receive a message;
• all interested parties, including law enforcement agencies, will have access to the database.

Separately, we form a database of online sellers (Telegram channels, Instagram pages) who trade without a license or sell counterfeit goods.

Black Store Map is a step towards a transparent and safe market where legal businesses have an advantage.
