English term or phrase: Employee and Consumer Advocates

I've translated "Employee and Consumer Advocates" as "従業員および消費者擁護者" but this doesn't appear in Google results.

"Advocates" here stands for "defender or supporter or protector". So, the meaning is "defenders or supporters or protectors of the employees and consumers."

Is there a better option on how to translate it into Japanese?

従業員および消費者の支援者

Explanation:
I don't see a problem with "擁護" but I think it has a more specific legalistic nuance in Japanese that "advocate" does not have in English.
"支援者" would be more commonly used in this sense as a supporter or defender of people's rights.

従業員および消費者（保護）団体

Explanation:
Advocates usually get together and defend/support/protect someone as a group. You could simply put 消費者団体 as per Keidanren's guidebook with its url provided below.

Example sentence(s):

　加えて、消費者、政府・地方公共団体、消費者団体、NPO・NGOなどとも適宜連携しながら、企業・業界団体として、消費者の啓発活動などにも取り組むよう努める。(see p.4 Chapter 5-1)
消費者保護団体
