Case Study: Ferrara achieves ESG compliance and strengthened sustainability with Sedex Consulting

How Ferrara Tackled ESG Regulations and Strengthened Sustainability with Sedex Consulting

Ferrara, a leading confectionery company, needed to align its supply chain with strict environmental and social governance (ESG) rules as it expanded into regulated markets like Europe. With a newly formed sustainability team but limited in-house legal expertise, Ferrara engaged Sedex (Sedex Consulting) to interpret evolving regulations and build a structured compliance approach for ethical sourcing, packaging and human-rights initiatives.

Sedex Consulting delivered a legislation diagnostic, gap assessment and targeted policy updates—including strengthening Ferrara’s Supplier Code of Conduct—and provided a clear roadmap for compliance. The engagement raised compliance awareness, produced concrete policy enhancements, improved supplier engagement and reduced the risk of non‑compliance and potential financial penalties, demonstrating measurable progress under Sedex’s guidance.
