Our Alliance
More than an organization, we are a global movement.
The Freedom Business Alliance (FBA) is not just an organization—it is a global movement. Our mission is to create life-giving jobs for survivors of human trafficking and those at risk of exploitation. Our alliance is built on collaboration, bringing together diverse players aligned to achieve this shared vision.
Our Members: A Global Network of Change-Makers
FBA’s Members are Freedom Businesses that exist to provide sustainable, healing-centered employment. Operating in 28+ countries, our 120+ Member businesses lead in sectors such as consumer goods, hospitality, food and beverage, and back-office support, among others. Collectively, FBA Members have created 5,000+ healing-centered jobs, ~2,000 of which are held by survivors of human trafficking, the majority being women.
Our Partnerships: Driving Systemic Change
We collaborate with business leaders, academics, policymakers, and anti-trafficking organizations to drive systemic change and foster collective impact. Together, we:
- Develop scalable solutions for businesses to adopt trauma-informed policies and practices, creating psychologically safe, healing-centered workplaces.
- Advocate for workplace policies that support caregiving responsibilities, prevent harassment, and promote inclusivity for all employees.
- Host global and regional events such as summits, roundtables, webinars, and mentorship programs to connect leaders and stakeholders, enabling collective learning and action.
This collaborative approach amplifies our impact, creating a ripple effect across industries and regions.
Commitment to Survivor Leadership and Engagement
Our alliance prioritizes authentic engagement with survivors of human trafficking and at-risk individuals to ensure our work is effective and rooted in lived experiences. Survivor representation on our Board of Directors and Survivor Advisory Council ensures their voices guide our strategies. Through collaborative discussions, focus groups, and feedback loops, survivors actively shape our programs and priorities.
Freedom Business Code of Excellence
FBA’s Freedom Business Code of Excellence, developed with input from survivors, business leaders, and NGOs, defines best practices for creating trauma-informed, equitable workplaces. It reflects a shared commitment to fair pay, ethical governance, and inclusive employment practices.
JEDI – Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion
JEDI is central to FBA’s mission. Our Member businesses—many of which are women-led—employ individuals from underrepresented and marginalized communities. By addressing systemic inequities and promoting inclusivity, FBA empowers survivors and marginalized individuals, creating pathways to leadership and economic independence.
Measuring Impact: Accountability and Progress
We evaluate our impact using rigorous, data-driven tools. Our commitment to transparency and accountability has positioned FBA as a leader in collaboration for impact evaluation, as recognized by Impact Rising.
Together, we are transforming the lives of survivors, addressing the root causes of exploitation, and building a future where every individual can thrive in a life-giving job. Join the movement.
