"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."

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

“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 find the reporting functions in Sedex Analytics invaluable!"

"I think there is so much value in everyone coming together to talk about these really important topics. We may all come from a different place or have larger or smaller organisations, but there is a commonality in the things that we are talking about and finding solutions for."

“We’re proud to launch this RFC, the first in the flavour and fragrance industry globally. It emphasises the Symrise commitment to responsible sourcing, through tying sustainability performance to financial success – in this case, a financial incentive.”

“Improving education and access to healthcare among vanilla farmers are important objectives in themselves – but they are not philanthropy. We believe that these programmes create shared value, for us and our business partners as well as the communities we work within.”

"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."

"Howdens is a local business with a global supply chain. It was founded on the principle that the business should be worthwhile for all concerned. The supply chain risk assessment is an essential step to fulfil our commitment that we act responsibly and in a sustainable manner. Radar is a very useful and user-friendly tool that helps to identify and understand risks across your supply chains. You can analyse and drill down to important issues and plan where to focus your efforts on due diligence activities and development plans. As the tool contains risk data based on independent and reputable sources, the reliance on self-assessment information is reduced."

"With all the momentum in the ESG space it is really helpful to have these collaborative sessions. Because everyone is getting the same pressure to have answers to these questions around what they are doing with their human rights program, with Sedex, and their supply chain transparency issues. It is a great benefit to have these types of opportunities to get together in person."

"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."

“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.”

”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.”
