About Us.
Created in 2006, Just Business began by cultivating the non-profit organisation Not For Sale in their fight to end human trafficking and labor exploitation, and has continued to invest in and help develop forward-thinking companies dedicated to championing social change.
Our team brings a unique mix of business and social impact acumen to its ventures, with more than 50 years of collective leadership experience – from dynamic start-ups to Fortune 500 multinationals; in diverse sectors ranging from consumer products and environmental sustainability, to engineering, media, fashion and e-commerce.
The core team at Just Business and our wide international network have cultivated a focused portfolio of enterprises, designed to mutually strengthen financial and impact-related outcomes by prioritizing hands-on collaboration over passive portfolio investing.
