Committee on Consumer Policy (CCP) Mr. Hugh Stevenson
1.
What is the mission and mandate of your Committee?
The Committee on Consumer Policy (CCP) promotes better policies for informed, empowered consumers. With the consumer marketplace "going digital", the Committee has played a key role in developing consensus standards on consumer protection in e-commerce. With the consumer marketplace going green, the Committee is turning its attention to how consumer choices can help support sustainable consumption. With the consumer marketplace ever more data driven, the Committee works to better understand consumer behavior, and the effect of the digital transformation on that behavior. The Committee develops empirical studies, policy recommendations, and practical guidance, and serves as a forum for member countries and various other active participants to share experiences on cutting edge issues affecting consumer welfare.
