问How can the Sedex Self Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) help my company?
答Completing the SAQ can help illustrate the important issues when addressing ethical and responsible trade. For example it can be used to compile a company’s code of conduct. 

问Who pays for our membership?
答We try and keep Sedex membership fees to a minimum. Sedex is a means to prevent the duplication of information it can help save a company time and money. As a result we encourage that companies pay for their own account.

问My company is conforming to local and national law why do I still need to conform to ETI, ILO etc?
答Although local and national laws provide the basis of company’s policies, internationally recognised standards such as the Ethical Trade Initiative (ETI) Base Code and the International Labour Organisation (ILO) Conventions have been created to drive convergence in policies and principles.

问Is Sedex just adding another level of bureaucracy?
答No, Sedex is a means to prevent the unnecessary duplication of information. We are driving convergence in this field and believe that Sedex is means to actually lower bureaucracy. For example by becoming a member of Sedex you only have to fill out one questionnaire and share this with any number of your customers. Sedex also offers you the opportunity to share information about the good practices at your sites of employment.

问How does Sedex differ from other organisation like the Ethical Trade Initiative (ETI)?
答Sedex is a web-based filing cabinet which allows companies to store and view data on ethical and responsible business practices. Sedex does not set any standards or determine the policy of its members. It is purely a tool for facilitating access to information.
