“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.”
“We may be newer to the sustainability space than some, but we share the same challenges—navigating complex regulations while ensuring meaningful progress.”
“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.“
"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."
"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 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.”
"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."
”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.”
“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.”
“We would like to see Sedex become a de-facto standard.”
“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.”
"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."
“Sedex is an easy-to-use source of vital information.”
