A landmark moment in 2026
Sedex has reached a major milestone in early 2026, with 100,000 businesses worldwide using our platform to improve ethical sourcing, supply chain risk management, and due diligence.
Our platform now includes 120,000+ worksites, and has facilitated over 450,000 SMETA audits over 21 years.

At Sedex, I get to focus on the challenge of how to improve working conditions at scale. I love working with a great team and diverse stakeholders to interpret and implement international frameworks like the ILO standards and UNGPs through our tools and support out customers to create positive impact for workers globally.
