The Norwegian government funds the Consumer Council, leaving it free to develop an independent consumer policy and independent of commercial interests and other organisations.
Approximately 80 people work at the Consumer Council's office in Oslo.
The Consumer policy department runs the Consumer Council's work to influence governmental and business life in a consumer-friendly direction through dialogue, impact work and publications.
In other cases, the work is about affecting the competitive situation and how markets operate.
The priority policy areas of the Consumer Council are sustainability, digital services, and economic exclusion.
