Case Study: Waitrose & Partners strengthens ethical sourcing and supply chain transparency with Sedex

How Waitrose & Partners is using Sedex to maintain ethical practices throughout their supply chain

Waitrose & Partners, a major UK supermarket with more than 300 locations, wanted to strengthen ethical practices and responsible sourcing across its supply chain. To do this, the customer turned to Sedex and its platform tools, including the Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ), SMETA audits, and Radar, to improve visibility into supplier sites and ethical due diligence.

Using Sedex, Waitrose & Partners gained clearer insight into supplier information, identified trends more effectively, and prioritized high-risk sites for targeted engagement and improvement. Sedex also helped the business analyze non-compliances, track progress against KPIs, and better report on ethical compliance, while revealing more about gender representation across the supply chain.
