Sedex is the world's leading supply chain due diligence platform that helps businesses build responsible and resilient supply chains. We transform complex compliance requirements into strategic advantages through our comprehensive approach to mapping, assessing, identifying and mitigating supply chain risks.
Core Platform Capabilities
Risk Assessment & Mapping: Our automated risk assessment tools provide product-specific risk insights (not just sector-level) to help you identify and prioritise high-risk suppliers across your entire supply chain network.
Site-Level Transparency: Access verified supplier data at the site level—a capability we've refined over 20 years. Our platform provides granular visibility into labour practices, working conditions and environmental impact at individual facilities, meeting new regulatory requirements that headquarters data cannot satisfy.
SMETA Audits: Powered by the world's most widely used ethical audit methodology, SMETA provides standardised, credible third-party verification of supplier compliance across labour rights, health and safety, environmental impact and business ethics.
Centralised Due Diligence: Manage compliance across multiple regulations (LkSG, UFLPA, CSDDD) through one standardised platform, eliminating fragmented data and manual tracking whilst providing thorough documentation for audits.

Whether you're beginning your responsible sourcing journey or looking to enhance an established programme, our flexible approach scales with your organisational maturity.
