      Understanding SEDEX 2 vs 4 Pillar

      Ellipse 3 1
      Ellipse 9

      Sedex certification offers two main types of Sedex audit: Sedex 2 Pillar Audit and Sedex 4 Pillar Audit. These pillars show the number of key areas of focus within the organization that need support. Every support pillar presents a particular part of an organization’s social responsibility and ethical standards. Here is an outline of 2-Pillar Audit and 4-Pillar Audit.

      SEDEX 4 Pillar

      1. Labor Standards: Sedex 2 pillar includes how employees are treated and checks if workplace rules follow national laws and global standards. It focuses on fair pay, reasonable working hours, and treating everyone equally. Workers should be free to join groups or unions without fear. It also ensures that no forced labor or child labor is allowed. These steps help create a fair and safe workplace for everyone. Regular monitoring and improvements are encouraged to maintain ethical and fair practices in the workplace.

      2. Health and Safety: This pillar ensures that workplaces are safe and healthy for employees. It covers having clean sanitation facilities, proper fire safety equipment, and clear evacuation plans. Workers must be trained to handle equipment and materials safely, and they should have the right protective gear. Regular safety checks and maintenance are also included to reduce risks. These measures help prevent accidents and prepare for emergencies.

      Group 45

      1. Labor Standards: Like the Sedex 2-pillar audit of the help survey, the Sedex 4-pillar audit discovers work rules and guidelines, including working circumstances, wages, salaries, and business practices.

      2. Health and Safety: As in the Sedex 2-Pillar Audit, this pillar evaluates the safety and well-being of workers, ensuring compliance with health and safety regulations.

      3. Environment: This revolves around ecological balancing. This combines assessing and surveying a joining impact on the environment, the board, energy usage and protection, and other normal assets.

      4. Business Ethics: This has greater business ethics. This can cover and determine issues joined with corruption, clearing installments, and moral business, taking everything into account, and practices.
