4 Pillars of Sedex
To be accredited by Sedex, your organization must adhere to a strict set of ethical requirements. These would include provisions for fair labour practices, strong health and safety procedures, stringent environmental management, and high standards of business ethics. The rules increase transparency and responsibility throughout your supply chain, fostering confidence and alignment with international standards.
Sedex aims to improve the ethical performance of business activities throughout global supply networks. The goals include enhancing responsible sourcing, promoting transparency, ensuring labour standard compliance, and pursuing sustainable and ethical business practices. This allows organisations to reduce risk while also improving their corporate reputation.
- Labour Standards: Good labour practice ensures worker safety and a fair wage by forbidding child or forced labour.
- Business ethics refers to ensuring integrity and transparency in company practices while adhering to ethical standards and anti-corruption policies.
1. Labour Standards: Protection for workers’ welfare and assurance of fair labour behaviour.
2. Health and Safety: Ensure a safe and healthy working environment.
3. Environment: Conduct business with a low environmental impact.
4. Business Ethics: Ensure that business operations and supply chain management are carried out ethically.
By adhering to such pillars, businesses can be more socially and ecologically responsible, build stakeholder trust, and be more competitive in the marketplace.
Sedex Certification Process
SEDEX certification process starts with an audit of the client organization’s existing practices with the SEDEX standards. This means the assessment of your ethical trade policies, labor policies, health and safety measures, and how friendly you are to the environment.
We then carry a detailed analysis that will show where your current practices may not be fully compliant with the SEDEX standards. Even after the differences are identified, our consultants will give you a detailed report on the findings accompanied by the changes you need to make.
The necessary updates are promptly incorporated into the system with the help of our specialists cooperating with your team. Some aspects may involve creating other policies, holding meetings and training and improving existing practice to meet SEDEX standards.
In addition to the internal audits, preliminary SEDEX audits are conducted to demonstrate appropriate implementation of the above changes and readiness of the organization.
We support you during the SEDEX audit, to help and advise you in order to have a seamless audit. Our target as the preparedness guide is to assist you in preparing for the SEDEX certification.
