We at Akatu believe in the transformative power of consumers.
Created in 2001, we are a non-profit organization and pioneer in what we do, developing actions to raise awareness and mobilize and engage society for conscious consumption; which we define as consumption that has minimum negative social environmental and economic impacts. Conscious consumption does not mean we should stop consuming, but rather that we should consume differently, without excess and waste.
We develop actions focused on changing consumer behavior on two main fronts: education and communication.
And our name expresses exactly what we wish to plant in our society:
