November 2025 | 9 The story of Fair Supply began with a simple belief: you cannot fix what you cannot see. Founded in 2019, the company emerged at a time when supply chain laws and expectations were evolving rapidly, but businesses still lacked the tools to uncover hidden risks like modern slavery, emissions, and biodiversity impact. Frustrated by this gap, human rights lawyer Kimberly Randle teamed up with industrial mathematician Dr. Arne Geschke to launch a datadriven solution. Their unlikely collaboration quickly gained traction, evolving into a powerful SAAS platform that helps companies meet rising ethical and regulatory demands with utmost confidence. Before regulation introduced ESG to the boardroom, issues such as modern slavery, climate change, and biodiversity were largely handled by academia and NGOs. Now that ESG has become a core risk and compliance priority, businesses are recognising the need to build the capability required to address these complex challenges effectively. Fair Supply has shone in this respect, infusing unparalleled subject-matter expertise into forward-thinking technology to support teams across procurement, sustainability, risk, and investment, ensuring clients are making decisions that actively address the hidden risks in their supply chains. “Our point of difference is that quality data and subject-matter depth have always been our foundation, and we have built cutting edge tech around that foundation – not the other way around,” Randle stated. “Our vision is to become the global standard for sustainable supply chain insight. The more companies that use Fair Supply to inform their decisions, the bigger the impact we can have. We see a future where our approach meaningfully changes outcomes for both our clients and our planet.” In mid 2025, Fair Supply enabled customers to complete due diligence within seconds through Fair Supply Analyst – a purposebuilt tool for procurement and ESG teams needing to assess individual companies for risk quickly and confidently. The tool returns a structured modern slavery risk profile – backed by verifiable data and aligned to global legislation – within minutes. This type of analysis would otherwise take weeks to compile manually, allowing organisations to focus their time on addressing risk. A spokesperson for Fair Supply’s client, a leading Australian energy services provider, explained: “Fair Supply gives us the supply chain visibility we’ve been missing. The platform doesn’t just show us what is happening at tier one of the supply chain; it reveals where the real risks lie, across modern slavery, emissions, and biodiversity. It is incredibly fit-for-purpose, and the team is responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely understands the needs of the infrastructure sector. Fair Supply has become a strategic enabler for our sustainable procurement goals.” Such exceptional services are made possible by Fair Supply’s internal culture, which encourages transparent and honest conversation. The company is powered by a diverse, crossfunctional team that values individuality and contribution – honouring people for who they are and what they bring to the table. This calibre of diversity and openness is a pillar of Fair As ESG regulation becomes more rigorous and supply chain accountability moves to the forefront of corporate risk management, companies are under increasing pressure to identify and address hidden risks. Fair Supply equips organisations with the subject-matter expertise and data-driven tools needed to meet these demands, helping teams make confident, compliant decisions across procurement, sustainability, and investment.

Fair Supply: Leading the ESG Risk Conversation Supply’s culture and mirrors the transparency it champions within its clients’ supply chains. Being a smaller company, the playing field has not always been even for Fair Supply, especially when competing globally with large multinationals. Maintaining first mover advantage has required grit, speed, and focus – and the team has leaned on the support of loyal early customers who recognised their impact and agility from the start. Internally, Fair Supply prioritises high-impact work and embraces a mindset of progress over perfection, allowing it to stay ahead in a fast-moving space. Despite the challenges, Fair Supply’s approach has allowed the company to emerge triumphant, a feat marked by its recent recognition as Australia’s Best ESG Risk Management Solutions Provider 2025. As the regulatory landscape continues to evolve, Fair Supply remains focused on helping organisations stay ahead of risk through data-driven insight and rapid innovation. “Today’s wave of ESG legislation is a preview of how important supply chain risk identification and management will become,” Randle announced. “We’re all experiencing disruptions driven by geopolitics, climate risk, and more. The ability to identify risk and plan accordingly will be increasingly critical. The Fair Supply team continues to work hard and provide customers with true supply chain intelligence. We want to keep innovating to provide live, decision-ready insights that help organisations anticipate risk, plan scenarios, and act before issues escalate.” To explore Fair Supply’s work and technology in more detail, visit Fair Supply’s website.
