Business Badges

Credibility that customers care about

Despite sufficient global resources, modern slavery persists as a staggering $236 billion industry (ilo.org, 2024), trapping an estimated 27.6 million individuals – men, women, and children – in forced labor. The growing fear of poverty renders increasing numbers of families susceptible to exploitative economic practices. Historically, transparency and awareness have been pivotal in every successful abolition movement. In our data-driven era, we must prioritize the open sharing of information for public good, while safeguarding individual privacy. Fostering ethical transparency within companies not only combats slavery but also strengthens brand reputation. We're introducing business badges as a way to drive a healthier economy through a competition focused on the credibility that matters most to customers. Let us act courageously and diligently to build a more just and equitable world for future generations.
