Good Business
Good Business is the podcast for leaders building companies that last — commercially, ethically, and culturally.
Hosted by Kimberly Randle, CEO and Co-Founder of Fair Supply, each episode brings honest, practical conversations with founders, investors, policy leaders and operators who are moving beyond aspiration and doing the real work of embedding sustainability into business.
From navigating new regulation, ESG expectations and supply chain transparency to scaling purpose led teams and managing modern slavery and carbon risk, Good Business explores the decisions, trade-offs and breakthroughs behind building organisations that do good, and do well.
If you’re a leader driving meaningful change inside your business, this is your space.
Insightful. Actionable. Human.
Let’s bridge the gap between intention and impact.

Relate, Don't Transact: How to Build Trust and Transformation in Supply Chains
In this episode of Good Business, Kim Randle and Fiona David are joined by Aarti Kapoor, the Founder and Executive Director of Embode. With over 25 years of experience spanning law enforcement, NGOs, and corporate consulting in Southeast Asia, Aarti brings a refreshingly honest perspective on why traditional human rights due diligence is failing to make a real impact.
The conversation challenges the status quo of "compliance culture," revealing how Western standards and language often alienate the very suppliers companies are trying to engage. Aarti breaks down why sending a questionnaire about "slavery" to a proud family business in Indonesia is counterproductive, and offers a practical roadmap for moving from transactional policing to transformational partnership.
