Sedex
Sedex audit is designed to evaluate a company's commitment to social responsibility, labor standards, health and safety regulations, environmental impact, and business ethics. By voluntarily participating in the Sedex audit, companies demonstrate their dedication to transparency and continuous improvement in these areas.
The Sedex audit process involves a thorough assessment of a company's policies, procedures, and practices related to its supply chain. This includes reviewing documentation, conducting interviews with management and employees, and on-site visits to evaluate working conditions and environmental practices. Sedex auditors assess compliance with local laws, international standards, and best practices in areas such as labor rights, health and safety, environmental impact, and business ethics.
The audit report provided by Sedex serves as a valuable tool for companies to identify areas for improvement and develop action plans to address any shortcomings. It enables companies to demonstrate their commitment to responsible sourcing, fair labor practices, and sustainable operations.
