About us
The ConPolicy GmbH was founded in 2010. The institute offers research and consulting services to public agencies, associations and companies that deal with consumer policy issues. The Institute is lead by Dr Christian Thorun.
Our strategic research and consulting services are characterised by:
International Perspective
In a globalised world, adopting an international perspective to consumer policy is imperative. Products are produced in complex supply chains and businesses operate across various borders. That is why we systematically integrate international perspective in our research and consulting services through our global network of experts.
Interdisciplinary Approach
Consumer policy encompasses various sectors - such as health, energy and finances - and deals with a variety of issues - such as data protection and sustainable consumption. For this reason, consumer policy requires an interdisciplinary approach to research and consulting. ConPolicy cooperates with other institutions to ensure services are based on interdisciplinary competence. > read more

The consumer has to be freed from his separation and needs to be turned into the subject of economic activity.
