How FairLife supports social sustainability
Fair trading in finance provides a foundation for social sustainability.
Financial education on a national scale will build on that foundation.

Combining fair trading and financial education turbo-charges both.
FairLife will uplift social sustainability in a way that lasts for generations.

Beyond fair trading and financial education, FairLife further promotes social sustainability by encouraging organisations to consider other areas such as employee wellbeing.
There is an adage that says a decent society cannot be created by laws alone, there must be a moral obligation. The FairLife Charity offers a route to identify specific, peer-agreed ways that the industry can apply this moral obligation above the regulators’ rules and principles.
