A future-proof planet needs do-good businesses.
Responsible companies not only operate with respect for climate and nature, but also with respect for people. Too often the Social dimension of the sustainability transition, or the ‘S’ in ESG, plays a secondary role.
But that is now changing. New legislation, conscious consumer preferences, shifting investor focus and enhanced community empowerment all add up to make positive social impact a priority.
FairChange offers the solutions you need to stay ahead of the curve.

In case you’re wondering who is Katja Marianne Noordam, well, this is me.
I am passionate about helping purpose-driven businesses and impact entrepreneurs create positive change that lasts. This is why I founded FairChange.
Dutch-Belgian by origin and a global citizen by choice, I’ve had the opportunity to work with companies and communities in complex environments across the globe. Together, we’ve designed solutions to overcome poverty and exclusion, rebuild war-torn local markets, grow women-led social enterprises and support at-risk youth to create an income away from crime, drugs and abuse.
I’m also passionate about telling real stories about real impact. Throughout my career, I’ve helped purpose-driven businesses and social entrepreneurs communicate their engagement and results in captivating ways.
At FairChange, my mission is to share my passion and my expertise with you.
Do you think, just as I do, that your business can make a difference beyond just making profits? Then I’d love to work with you!

The businesses that really do good — like Unilever, TOMS, I like to think Virgin, and many others — their brands become stronger, people identify with them better, and therefore the business itself does better.
