Sedex

Sedex is a global membership organization dedicated to driving improvements in ethical and responsible business practices in global supply chains.

Our collaborative approach helps buyers and suppliers to share and exchange data, helping to better manage social and environmental risks within their supply chain, and positively impact responsible sourcing.

Sedex provides a range of tools, services, guidance, and training to help companies map and manage risks in their supply chain. We have over 50,000 members in 155 countries, across 35 industry sectors, including food, agriculture, financial services, clothing and apparel, packaging and chemicals. We have offices located in London, Reading, Santiago, Shanghai, Sydney, and Tokyo.

One of the biggest challenges facing companies is managing risks that come with the multi-tiered complexity of their supply chain. Mapping the supply chain and multiple suppliers through each tier makes it difficult for companies to be aware of the risks affecting their business. Using Sedex tools and services can help companies make informed decisions and improve their business performance across labour rights, health and safety, the environment and business ethics.

Sedex has 15 years of expertise operating in responsible sourcing and works with some of the world’s most recognizable brands and standard-setting organizations, such as the United Nations and Ethical Trade Initiative. We believe that working with the right information and technologies, a business can shape the future of global trade to have an increasingly positive impact worldwide.
