These resources are designed to evaluate and stress-test your business’s due diligence programme; Sedex is designed to strengthen it.

This is where sustainability, compliance and supply chain teams come to measure how their programmes are performing today. Every tool here is free to use, built on real audit and regulatory data, and designed to point to a practical next step, not just a score.

Regulatory scoping Buyers & suppliers

Regulatory Navigator tool

With new due diligence and disclosure laws landing across the EU, UK, US and beyond, the first hurdle for most teams is just working out which ones actually apply to them.

Answer a few questions on headquarters, revenue, headcount and the markets you sell or operate in, and get an indicative scoping assessment across 8 major global supply chain regulations, each marked Likely, May Be, or Unlikely in scope, with the thresholds and deadlines behind that call. Download a shareable report in under a minute, then use it to brief legal, compliance and sustainability teams before commissioning formal advice.

Maturity benchmarking Buyers & brands

Human Rights & Environmental Due Diligence Maturity tool

Once you know which regulations apply, the next question is harder to answer honestly: how ready is your programme, really? This tool gives procurement, sustainability and business leaders a structured snapshot.

A free, Excel-based self-assessment of 30 questions across six areas, from policy through to remediation, automatically scored against maturity stages built on the UN Guiding Principles and OECD Due Diligence Guidance. You’ll see your benchmark, your strongest areas, and where Sedex can help move you from commitment to action.

Risk self-assessment Buyers & brands

Supply Chain Self-Assessment

Most procurement and sustainability teams have a feeling for how exposed their supply chain is. Very few have checked. This two-minute self-assessment gives you an honest read. No audit, no jargon.

Answer 7 quick questions about how far your visibility reaches into your supplier base and how ready you are to respond when customers and regulators ask. You’re placed on a risk matrix of customer readiness against supplier visibility, one of six positions from “In control” to “Flying blind”. The commercial implications are spelled out, with tailored priority actions rather than a generic checklist. Your full results arrive by email as a shareable report.

Savings & ROI Suppliers

Supplier ROI Calculator

If you’re a supplier, you already know the cost of answering the same ESG and compliance questions for every customer, and sitting audit after audit. This calculator puts a number on it, and on what sharing your data once through Sedex would save.

Enter how many customer data requests you handle a year and the hours each one takes, your hourly staff cost, and the number and cost of audits you complete. Choose your currency and a Sedex membership tier, and the calculator estimates your annual time and cost saving, downloadable as a personalised PDF report you can take to your finance or commercial lead.
