benefit from Sedex sustainability practices

The recent and continuing supply chain challenges highlight the importance of embedding further resilience into our supply chain. We consider Sedex a powerful tool to achieve this by gaining better data and insights into our suppliers’ operations and establishing a broader set of values upon which we do business.

Responsible sourcing is at the heart of Waitrose & Partners as we are a co-owned business that prides itself on ensuring the lives of all workers is respected. We are able to champion responsible sourcing through ethical supply chain due diligence by using Radar, as it allows us to analyse site-level risk assessments to ascertain where there are risks and how salient they are. We then use this information to determine audit frequency for the next stage of our ethical compliance programme.

Waitrose & Partners

Radar is an integral part of our supplier risk assessment and management process. We use the tool to build visibility of suppliers’ risk levels across nearly two hundred work sites, and can monitor these at scale. We create a criticality grid using the risk scores to help us focus our risk management activities. If suppliers are in a high-risk zone, we conduct corporate social responsibility (CSR) audits and develop action plans to reduce the level of risk at work sites.

The data that the Sedex platform houses and the ability to share that data provides a direct avenue for communicating and sharing information related to our SMETA audits and SAQs. The ability to share data through Sedex is integral to our program.

Sedex membership gives us a level of assurance with our suppliers and customers that we are monitoring environmental, labor, and human rights risks. Also, having a one stop shop for risk ranking and management has been immensely helpful in managing the social aspects of a sustainability program.

Howdens is a local business with a global supply chain. It was founded on the principle that the business should be worthwhile for all concerned. The supply chain risk assessment is an essential step to fulfil our commitment that we act responsibly and in a sustainable manner. Radar is a very useful and user-friendly tool that helps to identify and understand risks across your supply chains. You can analyse and drill down to important issues and plan where to focus your efforts on due diligence activities and development plans. As the tool contains risk data based on independent and reputable sources, the reliance on self-assessment information is reduced.
