Who We Are
Our company is called FRDM (pronounced free•dom), and we deliver enterprise-grade Software as a Service that’s transforming how businesses manage risk (like child labor) in their supply chain. We help our customers protect their values throughout their entire supplier network. Our customers are primarily Fortune 500 companies, but also include SMBs, investment funds, governments, NGOs, and academic institutions. We help companies comply with regulations and build brand loyalty with their customers. Our product is also embedded into procurement products of large ERP companies like SAP. We are building the world we want by helping our customers BUY BETTER.
We work extremely hard while remaining grounding on three key values:
Empathy: We value people who value people.
Intrepid: We are brave because we never default to the obvious.
Curiosity: We believe the best ideas are still out there.
One of the greatest indicators of a brand’s value is how it procures its goods and services. Social and environmental risks are embedded in every supply chain, from the Fortune 500 to the local coffee shop. Our FRDM platform helps businesses of any size and sector measure and mitigate risk, like child labor, from their supply chain. We measure risk across their entire supplier network, even down to raw materials. FRDM currently influences over $100B in B2B commerce, and we are just getting started. We are literally changing the world.
