Having attended the Sedex AGM and Members Forum last week, I was encouraged by their increased membership and global presence, showing that there is a real interest in sharing ethical data and making improvements. There were a variety of speakers, each giving their perspective on ethical trading issues. There were some great insights into how other companies face these challenges and some of the solutions they have found. The key phrase of the day was ‘root cause’ and how best to tackle the underlying issues related to ethical trade.
The forum certainly gave us all plenty to think about and I encourage any company using ethical trade audits to look at the Sedex website to see what it could do for you.
