37 Sedex Testimonials

“The Sedex membership is essential to align our definitions and methodology with reputable frameworks. Using Sedex, we screen all new and active suppliers to identify possible sustainability risks that suppliers might be exposed to, considering the country and sector where different commodities are sourced from. This allows us to engage with the most relevant suppliers for risk management, identify areas for improvements and see if suppliers live up to our requirements regarding labour rights, health and safety, and the environment.”

"Unispace reached the threshold for several ESG regulations globally within a short space of time. We’re committed to meeting our compliance obligations, including through creating safe, sustainable workplaces. The Sedex team made something that was very complex really straightforward – and easy to communicate across the rest of the business, to help us get the necessary internal support."

“Sedex helps companies in the value chain maintain ethical and responsible practices.”

“Sedex’s platform has been instrumental in transforming our approach to responsible sourcing. By integrating sustainability data into our daily operations and engaging our suppliers in continuous improvement, we’ve not only enhanced our risk management but also strengthened our entire value chain.”

“I would recommend Sedex to any company with a large supply chain who want to spend less time on data management and more time acting to improve standards.”

”Using one common set of tools with customers and suppliers supports DuPont Nutrition and Biosciences to streamline sharing data, supporting us to focus on what matters most to our business creating innovative food products in a safe and productive working environment.”

"Equality is a human right, and every business should be committed to addressing inequality in their supply chains."

"The recent and continuing supply chain challenges highlight the importance of embedding further resilience into our supply chain. We consider Sedex a powerful tool to achieve this by gaining better data and insights into our suppliers’ operations and establishing a broader set of values upon which we do business."

“Responsible and ethical sourcing is important to our business. Sedex enables us to network and develop new relationships and better links us with our buyers and suppliers. As a supplier in a very remote location, managing relationships is very important to us, and we really value the connectivity the Sedex platform provides for our supply chain.”

“The obvious benefit of the Sedex system is that it saves us from completing multiple audits, but the value to the business reaches far beyond that. What really sets Sedex apart from other social schemes are all the other assets that are developed to help members learn and develop. For example, the Sedex Supplier Workbook has helped us understand the precise compliance actions and records required by our customers.”

“The benefits Sedex brings to us are being able to have external third-party validation in terms of understanding our supply chain and being able to make measurable goals within that. And to track and improve upon our processes.”

"It has been so cool to get to chat with other industry members and people in general who are passionate about social sustainability. I have been loving having robust conversations and putting some names to faces finally."

“Many of our construction contractors became a Sedex member and then had a SMETA audit for the first time. This enabled Whitbread to proactively engage with suppliers on ethical issues.”

“We may be newer to the sustainability space than some, but we share the same challenges—navigating complex regulations while ensuring meaningful progress.”

"As part of our sustainability strategy, we are proud to become a member of Sedex. It’s incredibly important for us to understand our supply chain and do what we can to continuously improve our ethical performance."
