Why Ethical Business?
Australian consumers are becoming ethically minded, and many businesses are taking note.
Consumers want responsible businesses. Businesses are increasingly expected to have a social purpose and give back.
Australia has a new Modern Slavery Act requiring large businesses to submit a Modern Slavery Statement that identifies the risk of slavery in their supply chain and business procedures. Smaller businesses can also submit a ‘voluntary’ modern slavery statement to demonstrate they care.
Reliable Experience
The Freedom Hub (TFH) is a registered Australian Charity that runs ethical businesses to fund our work. Our advisory practice is built on over 20 years of shared experience in procurement, risk management, and sustainability, in addition to TFH’s direct work with victims/survivors of modern slavery in Australia.
We are Social Traders Accredited, Good Market Accredited and Social Enterprise World Forum Verified.
Our advice places victims/survivors at the centre of every organisation’s response. When appropriate, we share their stories to highlight not only the nature of exploitation but the pathway to recovery.
