French term
consomm’acteurs
French to English
Other
Names (personal, company)
".... offres destinées à des consomm’acteurs"
A web search shows that this term is often used in France but I am a total loss for a sutable translation. Any ideas?

Selected
responsible consumers
Often also "socially responsible consumers," but that specifies a scope that may not match the one in your context.

You can also choose to specify "ecologically responsible consumers" if that fits.

"Consumers with a conscience" and "eco-conscious consumers" (if applicable--it may be "ethically conscious," for example) are more options.

: your ref isn't very conclusive. I looked to check and found the following, which means we don't have enough context to know for sure, but it's possible: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consommacteur

It's an example of my proposed translation in context. Just noticed your link after posting it myself up above!

Here, "acteur" has the sense of "playing your part" in a larger cause, a notch down from full-blown activism.
