Its goal is to promote a fairer society through defending the rights of all consumers through increasing the number and scope of consumer organisations and campaigning to increase the number of 'consumer friendly' policies and laws of governments. It was established in 1960 as the International Organisation of Consumers Unions (IOCU) by national consumer organisations. The original members recognised that they could build upon their individual strengths by working across national borders. The organisation rapidly grew and soon became established as the voice of the international consumer movement on issues such as product and food standards, health and patients’ rights, the environment and sustainable consumption, and the regulation of international trade and public utilities.
