SMETA (Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit) is the audit methodology created by the Sedex membership to give a central agreed audit protocol, which can be confidently shared. Sedex (The Supplier Ethical Data Exchange) is a not-for-profit, membership organisation that leads work with buyers and suppliers to deliver improvements in responsible and ethical business practices in global supply chains. What is the difference between SEDEX and SMETA? The SEDEX database contributes significantly to the improvement of ethically responsible business practices throughout the entire value chain. With the SEDEX database, customers have the ability to purposefully manage their supply chain according to the principles of SEDEX and thus reduce the risk, among other things. The platform also provides you with useful information about working conditions in your supply chain and assists you in the administration. In doing so, you show your customers and partners that you operate according to the principles of ethical and social sustainability. After the audit, you have the option to share your SMETA audit reports on the SEDEX platform with other members and your customers.
To become a member of the SEDEX database, you must conduct a SEDEX audit according to the SMETA guidelines. As a visible member of the SEDEX database you show your customers and partners that, at your company, the principles of ethical and social sustainability have priority and are respected. SEDEX (Supplier Ethical Data Exchange) is a world renowned online platform.
