Consumers International is the membership organisation for consumer groups around the world.

We work together, alongside a range of passionate partners and members, to drive change in the global marketplace that individual members cannot achieve alone.

Everyday, around the world our members achieve life enhancing improvements for, and with consumers. Many have been the trusted, leading national voices for their consumers for decades and are responsible for dramatic improvements to people's lives. Our greatest strength is the depth and breadth of our membership, who we work with on coordinated campaigns and international advocacy.
