What it says it does
Sedex, as Sedex describes it
Sedex’s own description, from its site: “Run risk screening, corrective actions and reporting across your global supply chain, backed by verified SMETA audits”
Sedex is a supply-chain due diligence platform built on SMETA audits and supplier questionnaires; its CSRD, ISSB and Scope 3 references concern collecting supplier data, not calculating a corporate inventory.
It publishes its supplier membership prices.
This site files Sedex under supply chain, from what its own pages describe; the categories are a way to find it, not a judgement of it.

Claims table
What Sedex’s pages claim, regime by regime
Each cell is Sedex’s own words, linked to the page it is on, or a note that no claim was found on the pages read.
