Sedex验厂常见问题（五）

问 my competitors be able to see my supply chain?
答 No. Members can only see information about other companies if they have been granted access. 

问 If I join Sedex, does that mean I don’t need an ethical trading programme?
答 不是。Sedex 提供了一个汇集和分享信息的框架，但链条中的每个人都必须确保所上传信息的准确性，并以信息为行动依据，不断地进行完善。 验厂咨询

问 I’ve already got an assessment system for my suppliers – why should I join Sedex?
答 Sedex provides an electronic system for collecting and analysing comparable information on ethical and responsible business practice. It can be accessed by any supplier or site, anywhere in the world, providing they are able to use the internet. It will allow you to access and analyse ethical assessments, action plans and corrective actions and to track progress over time. Because Sedex enables sites to share the same data with many customers, there is a strong incentive for suppliers to join. This will help to reduce the duplication of audits, allowing both you and your suppliers to concentrate on improvements, rather than on numerous self-assessments and audits. 

问 I’m an agent and I can’t be sure on any particular day which of my sites supplies which of my customers – how will Sedex deal with this?
答 Sedex enables you to specify which of your supplier’s supplies to each of your customers. You need to agree with your customer the best way of handling your supply chain, to ensure that they have access to the most accurate information possible. 

问 Lots of my direct suppliers are agents – how will Sedex deal with this?
答 Agents will need to register as B members on Sedex and to record their trading relationships. The agent is then responsible for making sure their suppliers register on Sedex and grant you access to their data.BISC验厂
