This week Consumers International represented the consumer voice at the first-ever OECD Consumer Policy Ministerial Meeting, an unprecedented milestone to address risk and opportunity in a new era of consumption.
A strong message resounded: Collaboration is needed more than ever, and must extend beyond traditional actors. Through our seat at the table, we are proud to enrich dialogue and accelerate action. Our recommendations were taken up in the approved Declaration on Protecting and Empowering Consumers in the Digital and Green Transition. We spoke across thematic sessions and we united leaders in a VIP lunch to explore the nexus of sustainability and safety - highlighting that intersectional approaches can provide 'win-win-wins' for global goals, consumer protection and people in the marketplace.
