Ethical Consumer Week 2022: call for sessions

For the third year running, Ethical Consumer Magazine is hosting Ethical Consumer Week. This year we'll be exploring what is the role of consumer action in the cost of living crisis?

The event will take place between Monday 31st October - Friday 4th November, culminating in an all-day, in-person conference on the Friday.

We’ll be investigating who’s benefiting, who’s paying the cost and the role of government, business and consumers in finding equitable solutions.

As part of the week we will host various events, exploring our topic through the following themes:
- Consumer and solidarity actions
- Rising inequalities
- Tax justice
- The role of ethical business

Ethical Consumer Magazine encourages other organisations, businesses and campaign groups to host their own events, discussions and actions which can then be promoted as part of the Ethical Consumer Week. We would expect these sessions to be independently organised and facilitated by the submitting organisation, with Ethical Consumer promoting them as part of the week.

We invite you to submit your sessions for Ethical Consumer Week by completing the form below by the 31st August 2022.

Session submissions and answers will be used by the Ethical Consumer Week team to create session blurbs and a programme for the week, alongside marketing materials which we will share to promote the week as a whole.
