Fifty Eight partners with companies, charities and other organisations to address the challenges of modern slavery and improve working conditions in global supply chains.
The story
Fifty Eight was inspired by a trip around Asia in 2011 taken by Quintin and Angela Lake. They were struck by the positive impact to people and communities a good business model could bring. Workplaces that improved the quality of life for everyone connected to them – from customers, to staff, to their supply chain.
On their return to the UK, they set to work on gaining the knowledge and experience necessary to work with companies internationally. They launched Fifty Eight in September 2014.
The name Fifty Eight comes from a chapter in the Old Testament book of Isaiah which imagines thriving communities where people are valued through justice, dignity and care.

Fifty Eight reinvests profits into SMEs and organisations that are committed to tackling the root causes of modern slavery through job creation and education.

Our aim is to find, share and build on best practice wherever we see it. To be an effective voice in bringing people, ideas and actions together to solve the problem of modern slavery. We strive to do work that brings measurable, significant and lasting change to the lives of people at all levels of the supply chain.
