CUC Ethical Student Club

The CUC Ethical Student Club is a student organization established with the aim of educating and raising awareness of ethical consumption.
Always being aware of who, where, and how the products and services we use are made can also be an opportunity to understand the producers and the surrounding environment. Through our club's events and activities, we aim to first get students, faculty, and local residents to understand and practice ethical consumption, especially fair trade.
