Sedex Audit Process

 

The Sedex audit process typically includes the following steps:

Registration: The supplier registers on the Sedex platform and creates a profile with information on their business practices and supply chain.

Audit Request: The buyer (the company that is requesting the audit) sends an audit request to the supplier through the Sedex platform. The request specifies the type of audit required (SMETA or SA8000) and the scope of the audit.

Audit Preparation: The supplier prepares for the audit by collecting and organizing relevant documents, such as policies, procedures, and records related to labor, health and safety, and environmental management.

On-Site or Remote Audit: The audit is conducted on-site or remotely by a Sedex-approved audit firm. The audit team interviews employees, reviews documents, and conducts site inspections to assess the supplier's compliance with ethical and responsible business practices.

Audit Report: The audit firm prepares a detailed report on the supplier's performance against the Sedex code of conduct. The report includes observations, findings, and recommendations for improvement.

Corrective Action Plan: The supplier develops a corrective action plan to address any non-compliances identified in the audit report. The plan includes timelines, responsibilities, and actions to be taken to address the non-compliances.

Follow-Up Audit: If required, a follow-up audit is conducted to verify that the supplier has implemented the corrective action plan and is in compliance with the Sedex code of conduct.

Sharing of Audit Results: The audit report and corrective action plan are shared among Sedex members, allowing companies to assess the risk of doing business with a particular supplier.

Sedex consultants can provide a range of services to suppliers, including:

Gap Analysis: A Sedex consultant can conduct a gap analysis to identify areas where a supplier's business practices do not comply with the Sedex code of conduct. The consultant can provide recommendations for improvement and help the supplier develop a corrective action plan.

Audit Preparation: A Sedex consultant can help a supplier prepare for a Sedex audit by providing guidance on document collection, organizing records, and preparing employees for interviews.

Audit Management: A Sedex consultant can manage the Sedex audit process on behalf of the supplier, ensuring that the audit runs smoothly and that the supplier's interests are protected.

Training and Capacity Building: A Sedex consultant can provide training to the supplier's employees on ethical and responsible business practices, helping them to understand the requirements of the Sedex code of conduct and how to implement best practices.

 

Continuous Improvement: A Sedex consultant can help the supplier develop a continuous improvement program, ensuring that the supplier maintains compliance with the Sedex code of conduct and continues to improve their business practices over time

Conducting an Audit :  Once selected ,  vendors will be audited by an approved Sedex audit firm or an external third party auditor .  The audit firm will often contact the vendor to prepare the audit & provide information about the audit's resources ,  objectives ,  & needs . 

 

On-site audit :  The auditor visits the supplier's facility & performs an on-site audit .  Audits include reviewing documents ,  interviewing staff & management ,  & inspecting facilities to ensure compliance with social & ethical standards .  Auditors will focus on areas such as operations ,  health & safety ,  working hours ,  compensation & management . 

 

Audit Report :  The auditor will prepare an audit report summarising the audit results ,  opinions & suggestions after the on-site examination .  The report is usually shared with the seller ,  & sometimes with the buyer who requested the inspection . 

 

Correction :  If any nonconformities or areas for improvement are identified during the audit ,  the supplier must develop & implement a corrective action plan to resolve these issues .  Sedex supports a continuous improvement approach where suppliers work to solve identified problems & improve their relationships & ethical values . 

 

Information sharing :  Sedex allows suppliers to migrate through the platform .  This helps companies understand & evaluate the social & ethical behaviour of their suppliers . 

 

It is important to remember that a Sedex audit is not a certification ,  but an assessment of the supplier relationship & ethics .  However ,  Sedex members can use audit data to demonstrate their commitment to social responsibility & meet the needs of customers or business ventures .
