Sedex, the Supplier Ethical Data Exchange, is a not for profit membership organisation dedicated to driving improvements in ethical and responsible business practices in global supply chains.
As the largest collaborative platform for sharing ethical supply chain data, Sedex is an innovative and effective supply chain management solution, helping organisations to reduce risk, protect their reputation and improve supply chain practices.
Sedex has 2 main aims:
to ease the burden on suppliers facing multiple audits, questionnaires and certifications
to drive improvements in the ethical performance of global supply chains
Our core product is a secure, online database which allows members to store, share and report on information in 4 key areas:
Labour Standards
Health & Safety
The Environment
Business Practices
By allowing suppliers to share the same data with many customers, Sedex helps reduce the need for multiple audits, allowing both parties to concentrate on making improvements.
