Our Impact
“As the founder of Business 4 Social Good™️, I’m committed to raising awareness about, and ending, human and sex trafficking in Canada. Almost 40 years ago I was trafficked at a time when this issue wasn’t talked about.” Deb Alcadinho, Founder & CEO | B4SG
(While this is our cause, we’ll help you find yours).
How can a woman be the best version of herself, grow to be a leader or changemaker if her life is abruptly changed at the hands of one who trafficked her, puts her into modern slavery, or other forms of exploitation and abuse? We must put a stop to this crime.

Education
Working with the Joy Smith Foundation, we will host their instructor-led information sessions for communities across Canada on the issue of human trafficking. Education is our greatest weapon to stop this crime.

In 2023 I co-authored a book with forty-four other women entitled Voices of the 21st Century: Women Transforming the World, which became an Amazon International #1 bestseller. I’m very proud of this book and in my chapter I share how my journey has led to this moment of working on this important cause and empowering other businesswomen to take a stand and contribute toward a cause they are passionate about. This co-authored book contains chapters from 45 contributing women around the globe that will both inspire and give pause to the reader. The authors share their personal transformations, some through struggles and challenges, others through triumphs and celebrations. They courageously challenge the status quo, bring light to once-dark topics, and introduce new ways of thinking. Book sales support the Joy Smith Foundation.
