Sedex Advisory Committee

The Sedex Advisory Committee (SAC) is an initiative by Sedex to ensure that customers have a voice alongside recognised global authorities.
Launched in late 2024, the SAC provides a platform for strategic direction and integrates multiple external viewpoints to influence and refine Sedex’s solutions. It comprises 18 handpicked experts in global supply chains and ESG, strengthening Sedex’s governance structure.

What we do

The Sedex Advisory Committee meets every two months to discuss emerging industry trends, pressing challenges and upcoming legislative changes on supply chain due diligence alongside Sedex’s strategic ESG solutions. Their perspectives influence key decisions at Sedex. This collaborative approach ensures that Sedex drives innovation and excellence across our operations.

With Sedex being a supplier data platform of choice for so many members of AIM-Progress, I am eager to contribute to the thinking on the future evolution of this important player in the human rights and supply chain due diligence world.

With the business built upon strong ethical values from the beginning, it was important for us to strengthen our commitments and formalise our CSR strategy. The Sedex Consultancy team helped us to create a new Responsible Sourcing and Environmental strategy, offering their expertise and guidance whilst engaging with teams from across the business for their input. With their insights, we were able to realise where our initial focus should be targeted and we were also able to create a clear roadmap outlining our goals for the next five years.

Symrise is member to Sedex for more than 20 years. Building upon the wealth of information from the Sedex database and the flexibility and experience of the Sedex consulting services and teams we were able to continuously improve our responsible sourcing ambitions.

We had the pleasure of working with Sedex Consulting, and were impressed with the results achieved. Their diligent support and efficiency ensured the process was straightforward, and the solutions provided were both tangible and impactful. With their support, we were able to define our responsible sourcing governance and due diligence approach, understand target areas for improvement and have a streamlined roadmap. We recommend Sedex Consulting to anyone looking to strengthen their approach to responsible sourcing and supply chain sustainability.
