Goede
Waar & Co (formerly the Alternative Consumers League) is a consumer
organisation supporting the critical, environmentally aware consumer.
The general goal is a sustainable and just society. Until recently the
organisation focused on supporting and critically following organic
agriculture and the market for organic food products. But at present
attention has shifted from alternative to critical consumerism; to meet
the wishes of the consumer who requests clear and objective information
on the origin of products and production methods for food, clothes and
gene technology. Goede Waar & Co conducts research, organises
campaigns and disseminates information. Apart from the quality and
health aspects of products, it pays attention to environmental aspects,
labour conditions, political or other forms of repression, the
treatment of animals and advertising.
