Worst company of the year

FACUA calls on Spanish consumers to elect the most irresponsible business of 2010

FACUA is allowing Spanish consumers to choose the 'Worst company of the year'. This title will go to the company that has developed the most irresponsible, abusive and fraudulent activities to enrich itself at the expense of infringing upon consumer rights.

FACUA-Consumers in Action has opened the process for the selection of nominees to the worst company, the worst business practice and the worst commercial in the last twelve months.

With this initiative, FACUA seeks to highlight the serious abuses occurring without respect for consumer rights in the market. Instead it hopes to promote more responsible practices in the relationship between companies, consumers and the organisations representing their interest.

 

Vote online

Consumers can cast their vote online (in Spanish only) at http://www.facua.org/lapeorempresa

The nominees list of five candidates will be made public in late February. Following that, consumers will be able to vote through the website above.

The winners will be announced on World Consumer Rights Day (WCRD) on 15 March 2010.

The Consumers International (CI) Bad Company Awards highlight irresponsible behaviour by some of the world's leading brands, drawing attention to notable consumer rights issues over the past 12 months.

To mark CI's action around the crucial climate change talks in Copenhagen, the 2009 Awards focused entirely on corporate greenwashing.
