English term or phrase: for all new consumerist efforts
The gender of ethical consumption

Middle-class women are the focus group ** for all new consumerist efforts **.
They are seen as the people with the interest and means for this kind of political involvement.
(Micheletti 2004:245)

The shops of the XXX and YYY cooperatives, where I carried out participant observation of shopping, were frequented almost entirely by women.
It was not uncommon for the only men there to be one of the coop’s members and the author, sometimes for hours at length.
Male customers visited the shops usually as part of two scenarios.
Men on their own were often shopping under the (in)direct guidance of a woman.
This was typically revealed when the man, consulting a list, asked on what shelf he could find a certain item that his wife had written down for him.
Or a man would actually accompany his female partner, literally following her like a robot while she collected the food and other items and, often in these cases, paying for them at the end.

Esiste anche il termine consumeristico, ma lo eviterei perché poco comune.

agree  Valeria Gramigni: Se vuoi snellire, puoi togliere "volti alla" e mettere "di tutela dei consumatori". Comunque ottima proposta!

Reference information:
"Ethical consumerism (alternatively called ethical consumption, ethical purchasing, moral purchasing, ethical sourcing, ethical shopping or green consumerism) is a type of consumer activism that is based on the concept of dollar voting.[1] It is practiced through 'positive buying' in that ethical products are favoured, or 'moral boycott', that is negative purchasing and company-based purchasing.[2]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethical_consumerism
"Per consumo critico, o consapevole (in opposizione ideale al consumo compulsivo), si intende la pratica di organizzare le proprie abitudini di acquisto e di consumo in modo da accordare la propria preferenza ai prodotti che posseggono determinati requisiti di qualità differenti da quelli comunemente riconosciuti dal consumatore medio." https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumo_critico
