Sedex’s vision and purpose is to improve working conditions in global supply chains and help to enable businesses to better manage their social and environmental performance, which is something Hosokawa Micron Ltd is fully committed to supporting as we strive to become an even more responsible and sustainable company whilst also becoming more efficient.
Responsible sourcing, supply chain transparency and identifying and managing risk to people, the environment and businesses (with a focus on issues such as modern slavery, gender equality and working conditions) will help to drive social change globally, empower companies to align with the United Nations’ Guiding Principles and encourage ethical trading. An ambitious five-year strategy by Sedex, launched in 2020, aims to grow its positive influence by increasing the number of people it impacts from 33 million to 150 million by 2025.

Ethical trading is something that is becoming more and more important to our current and potential customers – in particular our Contract Manufacturing customers – many of whom have asked us to join Sedex to help ease their supplier evaluation process. Of course, we are more than happy to support the initiative and are proud to play our part.”.
