Finance Against Trafficking is working to raise awareness, equip and resource companies to help them effectively address all areas of their business that can be affected by people trafficking and manage the risk and threats to their supply chain, money services, reputational risk and prosecution.
Finance Against Trafficking is run by business for business, made up of volunteers from a variety of business sectors offering their time and services pro bono.
Finance Against Trafficking will continue to lead innovative preventative work across the business community. We are keen to raise awareness and provide a means and motivation to change business practices in order to disrupt the systems that sustain and facilitate the traffickers' trade.
Good business and making money must never be at the cost of the profiting from the sale of a human being.
