SUCCESS STORIES

What our Partners say

Many of Slave-Free Alliance's members and clients who have benefited from our services have been partnering with us since the beginning. We are proud of the progress they have made on their anti-slavery journeys.

"AstraZeneca is very pleased to be the first life sciences member of Slave-Free Alliance. We chose you for the hands-on experience in working with victims globally, for actively engaging with companies to assess their risk management frameworks and to advise on improvements. We see a great gain for our business to tap into the first hand, true global experience and knowledge that Slave-Free Alliance has as part of the bigger Hope for Justice umbrella. We’re looking forward to a great partnership and a very active dialogue.”

''Slave-Free Alliance is a critical friend in our journey towards a slave-free supply chain and a utilities industry that is free from human trafficking. They have set us on a clear path and stand beside us as an independent sounding board and expert guide to compliance and best practice. We have learnt so much, which has been sobering at times and also hugely enlightening.''

“OCS have been working with Slave-Free Alliance for many years and have been a member since 2021. Slave-Free Alliance form an integral part of our global anti-slavery working group and they also sit on the Service and Infrastructure Project Providers Modern Slavery Council, which OCS co-chair. This Council stretches across the facilities management, construction and services industries and is supported by the BSA, Cabinet Office and Home Office. We could not have achieved the progress we have made in our stance against modern slavery without the support of Slave-Free Alliance.”

Working with Sunbelt Rentals UK

Hear from Sunbelt Rentals UK Logistics and Supply Chain Director, David Phillips, about the company’s anti-slavery journey so far.

In 2021, Sunbelt Rentals UK joined Slave-Free Alliance’s membership programme. Together, we created a practical and achievable action plan. From a gap analysis to team-specific training to site assessments, Sunbelt Rentals UK have used their member benefits in many effective ways.

Case Studies

Severn Trent were one of the first of our members. They have worked hard since then to eliminate threats and put best practice in place.

Ever since Biffa became a member we have worked with them on their supply chains, and they have gone far beyond compliance.

Waitrose enlisted the help of Slave-Free Alliance in the form of our services. We were able to help at a Board level, together.
