In 2011 the
Obama Administration
asked him to develop an app to inform consumers about how their purchases connect to modern day slavery.
Our Founder
Justin Dillon has been working at the intersection of technology and human rights for over a decade.
Justin and his team developed slaveryfootprint.org which asks consumers to input basic information about what they purchase. At the end of the survey they are told how many slaves are required to support their lifestyle. The website was instrumental in the passing of several modern slavery legislations. It went on to win over 10 awards including SXSW and a Cannes Lion.
Justin founded the charity
Made In A Free World to campaign for slavery free supply chains and raise funds to rescue children in slavery.
He was advising the White House, United Nations, Fortune 500's and even The Vatican about slavery in supply chains. He saw a gaping hole in supply chain transparency tools and began to build what became FRDM.
It started with a crazy vision of building a database of everything in the world that could be purchased from airplanes to apricot trees to cobalt.
We created a team of researchers, econometricians, and engineers to build our library of product genomes which can trace human rights abuse deep in supply chains.
Our customers are the heroes of this story.
We are just the helpers.
Some of the largest brands in the world began to use FRDM
as a compliance tool for Modern Slavery Acts. The team soon discovered that FRDM could solve for other risks like safety and sustainability.
