ASECO
Alliance of Social and Ecological Consumer Organisations
An open alliance
for a sustainable future based on consumers guidance
Sustainable development is the only possible way for a future for our common society and all citizens. Sustainability concerns health, environment, care for resources, safety for food and other products and services. A socially sustainable coexistence around the world is also a basic necessity.
A sustainable future will not and can not be achieved without participation and involvement of consumers and their organisations. Therefore working together is essential.
We start in November 2004 with the aim of
helping each other voluntarily with the large expertise we have in common
no office in Brussels, no membership fees, no employees
working together in a virtual network
to express promptly what we consumers want, think and demand
from decision makers and authorities, business and suppliers of goods and services
All organisations that are committed to the common efforts
for a better future and a sustainable world can apply for admission
