"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."

"As part of our Bisley.POSITIVE commitment, we actively develop partnerships that benefit society and the planet, we consider Sedex to be a true partner. This ongoing collaboration assists us achieve our journey towards value-chain transparency, reporting, and Traceability. We engage with Sedex Consultancy to review our Modern Slavery Statement and broader sustainability approaches to gain guidance on how to improve going forwards. In addition, Bex and team support Bisley with a greater understanding of Human rights, UN Guidelines, and international legislation."

"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."

“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 had to react fast to manage the situation. One of the first things we did was get updates from factories on stock and production levels so that we could get this information to our customers quickly – then we looked at how we could release the pressure of imminent order deadlines on factories.”

“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.”

“PNJ Production joined Sedex to enhance our policies and procedures, addressing operational gaps. This partnership also improves visibility into our operations and helps us effectively discuss sustainability with our stakeholders.”

"Partnering with Sedex has been instrumental in aligning our vision to improve the food system with our data-led approach to responsible farming. It’s like having a bird’s-eye view of our journey. Their tools and services have enabled us to enhance transparency across our operation, driving improved outcomes that our organisation and our customers can rely on."

"Pomona Farming leverages Sedex to increase efficiency and foster our dedication to continuous improvement in our orchards and within our organisation. We believe that excellence is about sharpening our expertise by embracing new tools and innovations that help us better understand our resource use, methodologies, and corresponding impacts for each individual field."

"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."

"Radar is an integral part of our supplier risk assessment and management process. We use the tool to build visibility of suppliers’ risk levels across nearly two hundred work sites, and can monitor these at scale. We create a criticality grid using the risk scores to help us focus our risk management activities. If suppliers are in a high-risk zone, we conduct corporate social responsibility (CSR) audits and develop action plans to reduce the level of risk at work sites."

"We had the pleasure of working with Sedex Consulting, and were impressed with the results achieved. Their diligent support and efficiency ensured the process was straightforward, and the solutions provided were both tangible and impactful. With their support, we were able to define our responsible sourcing governance and due diligence approach, understand target areas for improvement and have a streamlined roadmap. We recommend Sedex Consulting to anyone looking to strengthen their approach to responsible sourcing and supply chain sustainability."

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

"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."
