Indiana’s Attorney General, Greg Zoeller, is a superconsumer of sorts. He protects consumers, abides by court decisions, honors the legislative and executive branches of government, and serves the people. Having so much power and responsibility is tough, but when it’s time to make a hard-hitting decision, there is one organization that Zoeller depends on Better Business Bureau (BBB). He says, “The Better Business Bureau is a critical partner to the Office of the Attorney General.” Protecting consumers from deceptive and predatory business practices is not an easy task, and the burden falls on multiple shoulders. Individuals who voice their experiences with businesses and credible government and nongovernment organizations must work together to create a safer consumer marketplace.
Zoeller says, “With BBB, consumers have a trusted place to turn to when they have questions about fraud or need

I am grateful to know there are organizations like BBB that will help set standards for businesses and protect Hoosier consumers.”
As a modern-day consumer advocate, Zoeller leverages BBB resources to create and maintain an ethical marketplace for all. “Time and again BBB has helped support and bolster a key mission of the Attorney General’s Office to protect and educate consumers.”
Both individual consumers and superconsumers like Zoeller look to BBB for high standards and expert advice to guide them in resolving difficulties and fostering a climate of trust in the marketplace. g
