Why Ethical Business?

Ethical business involves social justice issues, modern slavery risk assessments, ESG reporting, social procurement whenever possible and values people over profits.

Australian consumers are becoming ethically-minded and many businesses are taking note.

Consumers want responsible businesses. There’s a rising expectation for businesses 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.

The Freedom Hub (TFH) is a registered Australian Charity that runs ethical businesses to fund our work.

We are Social Traders Accredited, Good Market Accredited and Social Enterprise World Forum Verified.

100% of profits from our social procurement, support the survivors of modern slavery in our Survivor School.

Social Traders Certified Social Enterprise

Our advice places victims/survivors at the centre of every organisation’s response, and when appropriate we share their stories to highlight not only the nature of exploitation but the pathway to recovery.
