About Us - Ethical Consumer Conference

For over 30 years we have been the hub of the ethical consumer movement. Our mission is to make global businesses more sustainable through consumer pressure.

We run campaigns on key ethical issues and are currently campaigning for a boycott against Amazon for their use of tax avoidance. We also collaborate on The Lush Prize, and set up the Fair Tax Mark and Save Our Bank. We also produce the Ethical Consumer Markets report. This has been acting as an important barometer of UK spending since 1999.

Ethical Consumer Week and Conference are annual events. Come along to connect with people, ethical businesses, and campaign groups to explore our collective power and the change we can ignite in our communities.
