DECO
DECO is the leading consumer rights organization in Portugal, contributing to the development of a balanced market and a fairer, more sustainable society.
DECO ensures consumer protection through three key pillars: information, education and training, and representation.
Climate action
DECO has implemented a set of measures to reduce energy and water consumption in its regional structures and headquarters. It has promoted the acquisition of certified sustainable materials and products and encouraged its employees to reduce waste. Concerning mobility, it provides employees with a free monthly public transport pass, also encouraging them to hold meetings at a distance.
Testimony
Portugal is one of the European countries most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Local authorities, which are closest to consumers, are the ones who know their reality best and can implement measures to protect citizens and ecosystems more effectively. DECO, as the voice of consumers, subscribed to this Pact because it considered that this great plan of anticipating carbon neutrality should call for everyone.
