Corporate branding with measured CSR impact.
The freedom model to end human trafficking is proven as Made Free demonstrates with sustainable jobs.
I came to realize that to win the war on poverty and modern day slavery, we need to address the root issues. Those who make our fashion need to make a livable wage.” — Brad Jeffery, CEO & Co-Founder
ASHEVILLE, NC, UNITED STATES, September 1, 2022 /EINPresswire.com / -- There are a staggering 40 million trafficked and enslaved people in the world today, many of whom work in South Asia's fast growing apparel industry. As consumers are continually challenged with what to do in light of this issue, a bright spot has emerged through the success of Asheville, NC based MADE FREE , LLC. — an apparel and accessories brand serving as a vehicle for sustainable social reform — named the 73rd fastest growing consumer brand in America last month by Inc. Magazine.
The Inc. 5000 lists the fastest growing companies in the country, ranking these brands nationally, regionally, and categorically, based on a numerical analysis of their growth. MADE FREE's rankings also include #1 fastest growing company in Asheville and 28th fastest growing company in North Carolina.
The real news they're celebrating? The Freedom Model is working! Every MADE FREE purchase supports a day of freedom from human trafficking, slavery, and poverty through a self-sustaining job. How do they calculate that? One day of freedom is one day of self-reliant, safe, and ethically-paid work. In response to the development of the fast fashion industry throughout South Asia, Co-Founders, Brad and Katherine Jeffery aim to address the root causes of slavery and poverty by supporting sustainable and ethical jobs for makers in India. With 87,081 Days of Freedom supported at the time of this writing, MADE FREE's model is finding success that Brad and Katherine could have only imagined. The power of self-sustaining jobs is gaining traction and proving to be effective.
