Portify
Did you know there are over 160 million people who don't have access to credit because they don't have a 9-5 job?
The hardest working, most ambitious people no longer earn stable paycheques from traditional 9-5 jobs. Many people have multiple jobs and parallel streams of income. They've adopted flexible forms of working for their lifestyle and to pursue their dreams. Yet, access to fair credit remains a privilege for those with predictable working routines.
Portify's goal is to democratise credit and provide inclusive financial services that target unfairly stigmatised workers for not having a 9-5 job.
A welcome change from payday loan companies that too often dominate headlines, ads and football shirts. Their interest-free loans and saving and budgeting tools are resonating with their 30,000+ users.

Rare Recruitment
Rare Recruitment helps businesses, governments, and as many professions as they can to look more like the communities and the countries they serve.
We love what Rare Recruitment are doing because they enable graduates from all backgrounds to access jobs within elite organisations. Since 2005, they've interviewed candidates using their What Makes You Tick software to capture a unique set of attitudinal and experiential data. It helps them send clients candidates not just with the best chance of being hired but of being successful in the long term.
Their Contextual Recruitment System (CRS) measures candidates' achievements, including academic performance at university, against the classification systems they've developed. So they can put candidates' achievements into context and identify outperformers others miss.
Not only this, but they had one of the highest scores of all the Escape 100 organisations from their employee reviews. Rare Recruitment is a great option for Escapees looking for a purposeful job within the recruitment sector.

Unmade
The average fashion brand sells just 45-60% of its products at full price, and the estimated value of wasted goods is $150bn. Unmade's mission is to bring the fashion supply-chain into the 21st century by shifting the industry towards consumer-driven, on-demand production and away from mass consumption.
They created a truly innovative operating platform that enables fashion and sportswear brands to connect demand to product and production. This allows brands to be more adaptive to consumer needs, only make what they sell, and dramatically reduce their waste.
Edgard and Cooper
If you're an environmentally-minded pet owner, it's hard not to feel the guilt about the waste produced from animal food packaging. Recycling programmes for these kinds of products are limited in most areas. Luckily, Edgard and Cooper allow you the opportunity to look after your pets and the planet with their biodegradable packaging and quality pet food.
They've already saved more than 6 million plastic bags by using their biodegradable packaging and are working to be planet positive by 2025. With great eco-credentials, a great brand and a mission to tackle a traditionally harmful industry, it's little wonder that Edgard & Cooper scored highly in their planet and mission scores in this year's Escape 100 campaign.
