Sedex is a responsible sourcing and supply chain due diligence platform that helps organisations identify, assess, and manage ethical, social, and environmental risks across their global supply chains.
Sedex is used by procurement, sustainability, compliance, and supply chain teams to collect, analyse, and share supplier data related to responsible business practices. It provides a centralised way to gain visibility across complex supply networks and supports organisations in meeting due diligence, reporting, and responsible sourcing requirements.
For buying organisations, Sedex helps improve oversight and reduce risk by bringing supplier data into one platform. Teams can identify potential issues, prioritise actions, and monitor progress across regions and supplier groups. This supports more informed decision-making and better collaboration between procurement, sustainability, compliance, and operations teams.
Sedex is also designed to be practical and usable for suppliers and site-level teams responsible for completing assessments, managing audits, and responding to customer requirements. The platform provides clear guidance on what information is needed and helps reduce duplication when suppliers work with multiple buyers.
Suppliers can use Sedex to share information in a structured way, manage audits and corrective actions, and reduce time spent on manual reporting. This improves transparency and communication while allowing suppliers to focus more on continuous improvement.
Sedex supports responsible sourcing and supply chain due diligence through capabilities such as supplier self-assessment questionnaires, audit and corrective action management, risk assessment and prioritisation tools, reporting and dashboards, and secure data sharing between buying and supplying organisations.
By connecting buyers and suppliers on a shared platform, Sedex supports collaboration, transparency, and continuous improvement across global supply chains, helping organisations manage risk and support responsible business practices at scale.
