Making Choices Today - What about tomorow?
Thursday 22 September 2005
One of the themes central to the Consumer Council’s Corporate Plan 2005 – 2008 involves ‘Enabling Consumers to Make Responsible Choices’. This aims to:
· Create a better understanding of responsible consumerism;
· Use our influence to change expectations and raise standards;
· Raise awareness of sustainability in relation to consumer consumption and choices;
· Promote a co-ordinated approach; and
· Position the Consumer Council as a thought leader and advocate of responsible consumerism.
Venue: Stormonrt Hotel
Invite Only: No
In late 2005 we hosted a thought provoking and challenging seminar to inform and promote debate. The seminar brought together a panel of internationally respected speakers and covered a range of topics – encouraging behavioural change, energy, food, credit and debt, planning, transport, waste and water.
The event attracted nearly 250 representatives from the public, private and community/voluntary sectors.
The event succeeded in making the issue of responsible consumerism real for everyone who attended and identified actions that each of us can do to make a positive difference.
