About the Sedex Advisory Committee
The Sedex Advisory Committee (SAC) is a new initiative by Sedex to ensure that customers have a voice alongside recognised global authorities. Our global customers and external leading authorities who join this Committee will play a critical role in influencing and shaping Sedex's future direction.
Strongly supported by our CEO, Jon Hancock, the SAC provides a platform for strategic direction and integrates multiple external viewpoints to refine Sedex's service offerings. It comprises 18 handpicked experts in global supply chains and ESG, strengthening Sedex's governance structure.
Positioned between the Sedex Holdings Board, Member Directors, and various technical product forums, the SAC ensures comprehensive oversight, positions the customer voice at the heart of Sedex and drives strategic alignment. Given its global reach, the Committee requires flexibility from participants regarding meeting attendance.
This collaborative approach ensures that Sedex drives innovation and enhances excellence across our operations. The SAC's global representation underscores our commitment to inclusivity and making a positive impact on a global scale.
