SEDEX (Supplier Ethical Data Exchange) is the world's largest collaborative platform for sharing ethical supply chain data. A SEDEX SMETA 4-Pillar audit is independently conducted by accredited auditors and required by the majority of UK, US and EU brands when onboarding new suppliers.
The problem
Most brands sourcing internationally face a critical problem: suppliers claim ethical compliance but cannot provide independent verification. Without a current SEDEX SMETA audit, your procurement team cannot substantiate ethical sourcing claims — exposing your brand to regulatory and reputational risk.
Our solution
Our facility holds an active SEDEX SMETA 4-Pillar audit conducted by an accredited independent auditor. Your procurement team can access the full audit report through the SEDEX platform, review our labour standards, health and safety, environmental and business ethics performance — before placing a single order.
