Mission & Goals
Consumentenbond is founded in 1953 and serves some half million members in the Netherlands. All our activities are aimed at strengthening the position of consumers and empowering them to make informed choices. We publish a wide range of magazines, books, and have a large subscribers website. Social media are increasingly important for a continuous dialogue with consumers. Besides comparative tests we offer switch services, financial advantages and personal service and advice to both members and non members. We put a lot of effort in campaigning for consumer rights, both in the Netherlands as internationally. Currently our main campaigns are on data protection and energy.
