Supply chain risks in fashion manufacturing vary significantly by region, making targeted insights essential for informed sourcing decisions.

Sedex data reveals important regional differences across apparel, textile and leather-goods manufacturing. Asia has the highest inherent risk, while Bangladesh and Mexico record the highest average number of non-compliances per audit. Turkey has the highest average rate of critical non-compliances per audit.

These findings highlight the value of combining regional risk insights with site-specific assessments to understand where greater attention may be needed.

For procurement and sustainability teams, this visibility supports more informed sourcing decisions, targeted supplier engagement and effective allocation of resources – helping businesses strengthen supply chain resilience while advancing responsible sourcing goals.

Scaling supplier engagement shouldn’t mean multiplying the workload.

Our customers highlight how Sedex helps make supply chain due diligence more efficient – from reducing audit duplication and fatigue, to simplifying supplier data management.

- “I really like the SMETA methodology and the mutual recognition framework in Sedex. It allows us to engage suppliers at scale effectively... This significantly decreases duplication and audit fatigue for our supplier base.” – Max L.
- “It's a great way to manage all supplier compliance information on one platform, which means fewer emails and less manual data management.” - Neha N., Group Sustainability Manager
- “I appreciate having a platform where we can find all the information we need in one place.” – Anonymous User in Retail

Together, these reviews show the value of shareable assessments, accessible supply chain information and tools that support supplier engagement at scale – helping procurement and sustainability teams work more efficiently and focus on priority risks.

Thank you to our customers for sharing their experiences. We’d love to hear from more of you: https://hubs.li/Q04BpHLy0

Make supply chain due diligence insights easier to access and act on with Sedex system integration.

Our API connects the Sedex Platform with your existing business systems, helping procurement and sustainability teams work more efficiently and make informed decisions.

By bringing Sedex data into the tools your teams already use, you can reduce time spent on manual data management, deepen your datasets and incorporate risk, site details, SAQ information and audit findings into sourcing decisions.

The result? More efficient workflows, stronger supply chain risk management and greater visibility to support responsible sourcing.

Sedex has enhanced its Platform to help businesses build clearer multi-tier visibility and make more informed, evidence-based risk decisions.

Our recent sample survey found 88% of supply chain leaders lack data from the majority of their Tier 2 suppliers.

That leaves a significant visibility gap at a time when procurement and sustainability teams need to understand risks deeper in their supply chains – and decide where to focus their resources.

Our latest enhancements include:

- More intuitive multi-tier mapping, helping teams build structured, site-level visibility beyond Tiers 1 and 2
- More precise risk scores across 15 topics for over 120,000 worksites registered on the Sedex Platform
- Audit risk intelligence incorporating non-compliance patterns from more than 250,000 SMETA audits across 115,000 sites in 106 countries
- Enhanced wages risk insights drawing on wage-related information from over 70,000 site-level SMETA audits
- New environmental risk reporting to support risk-based prioritisation across supplier worksites

Together, these capabilities help teams identify higher-risk areas, uncover gaps and prioritise action – supporting more resilient supply chains while balancing responsible procurement and wider business goals.

Better supply chain visibility creates opportunities for meaningful improvement in fashion manufacturing.

Insights from more than 17,000 SMETA audits at fashion manufacturing sites highlight where businesses can focus their efforts to strengthen supplier practices and manage risks.

Health and safety, working hours and wages are the three most common areas of non-compliance, while practices recognised as potential indicators of forced labour were also identified in thousands of audits.

By understanding where these challenges are most prevalent, fashion brands and retailers can work more closely with suppliers, prioritise improvements and build more resilient, responsible supply chains.

Discover how Sedex audit insights can support informed decisions and targeted action across fashion supply chains.

What are the biggest risks across fashion supply chains — and what do these insights mean for buyers and suppliers?

Sedex analysis of more than 21,000 fashion manufacturing sites across apparel, textiles and leather goods highlights:

- 95% of workers at fashion manufacturing sites are based in inherently high-risk countries for ESG issues
- 25% of fashion manufacturing sites on Sedex don’t have a written commitment that demonstrates respect for international human rights standards and fundamental rights at work
- Health and safety, working hours and wages are the top areas of non-compliance identified at SMETA audits

For corporate teams, comparing these insights to what you see in your own supply chain offers valuable benchmarking. Where might your risk blind spots be? Where are your suppliers and their sites demonstrating progress on high-risk issues?

For suppliers, understanding the issues your customers are focused on helps you anticipate their data requests, focus your risk management efforts, and demonstrate improvement even before you’re asked.

Thousands of apparel factories, textile mills and other fashion manufacturing sites already share their data through Sedex - making supply chain due diligence and customer compliance easier for everyone.

Join your customers and suppliers on our network of over 100,000 businesses - from across fashion supply chains.

Supply chain risk looks very different from a factory floor, a farm gate or a procurement desk, but the questions underneath are remarkably similar.

That was the thread running through Xchange Australia in Melbourne, as members from manufacturing, food, retail, automotive, mining and financial services came together. In person, we explored how to see further down the supply chain, draw actionable insights from huge volumes of data and get ahead of risk rather than react to it.

Huge thanks to our Sedex Community for joining us, including our fantastic regional team, who made the day happen.

Customer due diligence is extending across supply chain activities – and service providers are increasingly part of the picture.

Growing requirements for supply chain visibility and due diligence mean suppliers in industries like cleaning, catering or logistics might start seeing more detailed information requests from customers.

Getting ahead of these requests can save time, reduce duplicated effort and help demonstrate the responsible practices that matter to customers.

Sedex makes this easier for suppliers and their customers. Our Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) is tailored to a supplier’s site and industry type, to capture information in a way that reflects how a business operates. The Sedex Platform provides one central place to share this and other data with customers.

For deeper assessment, SMETA for Service Providers adapts our globally recognised methodology for work that takes place across different customer sites.

Together, these tools can help you:
- Be ready for customer due diligence and data requests
- Answer once and share consistent information across customer connections
- Reduce duplicated effort
- Understand where your practices are strong and where there are opportunities to improve
- Make responsible practices more visible to customers
- Build trust and strengthen customer relationships

As customers expand their due diligence programmes, being prepared makes their requests easier to answer – and your progress easier to show.

Xchange Australia in Sydney brought the regional responsible sourcing community together in one room - local members, auditors and partners from across industries.

Representatives from retail, food, fashion and beyond compared notes on challenges no single organisation can solve alone.

The day moved from what's next on the Sedex roadmap, to what SMETA audit data reveals about risk, to the on-the-ground view from auditors.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, and to our regional team for bringing this Community together!
