We recommend Sedex Consulting to anyone looking to strengthen their approach to responsible sourcing and supply chain sustainability."

“Sustainability is no longer just about reducing your greenhouse emissions or energy footprint – it’s your end-to-end supply chain. We have a responsibility – whether it’s tier 1, tier 2, tier 3 or 4 supply chain – to understand what it going on throughout that whole supply chain.“

"With the business built upon strong ethical values from the beginning, it was important for us to strengthen our commitments and formalise our CSR strategy. The Sedex Consultancy team helped us to create a new Responsible Sourcing and Environmental strategy, offering their expertise and guidance whilst engaging with teams from across the business for their input. With their insights, we were able to realise where our initial focus should be targeted and we were also able to create a clear roadmap outlining our goals for the next five years."

“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 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.”

“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.”

“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.”
