CI World Congress 2007
Consumers International (CI) chose Sydney, Australia as the location for its 18th World Congress in September 2007. The 3-day event brought together the rich diversity of the global consumer movement to debate, celebrate and campaign for the shared concerns of consumers everywhere.
CHOICE played a major role at the Congress. As well as being a co-host, we presented, wrote news reports, media releases, blog entries, made audio recordings of every speech, published some presentations, and carried out video interviews with delegates and key speakers.
Background: About the CI Congress
Never before have global consumer demands for corporate transparency, accountability and responsibility been so pressing. Whether it’s unethical marketing, sustainable consumption, credit and debt, or what we eat — consumers are losing trust in companies and are calling for change.
