Step 1
Gap Assessment
Conduct a detailed review of your HR, safety, environment, and compliance systems to identify gaps and opportunities.
Today’s global supply chains are not only about price and delivery.
Buyers, retailers, and multinational companies want proof of ethical, social, and sustainable practices.
That’s where Sedex (SMETA) comes in.
Sedex is not just a certificate – it’s a globally recognized social audit platform that evaluates your company’s commitment to:
If you want to supply to global retailers, FMCG, pharmaceuticals, textiles, packaging, engineering, or chemicals, you will likely be asked for a Sedex audit.
Without it, you risk being excluded from supply chains.
SMETA audits can be done in 2 Pillars or 4 Pillars, depending on buyer requirements.
When international brands ask for Sedex compliance, they typically require either a 2-Pillar or a 4-Pillar SMETA audit. Understanding the difference is critical for preparing your company effectively.
The 2-Pillar audit is the most common entry-level audit for suppliers, focusing on basic ethical and safety standards.
Key Focus Areas:
Ensures fair treatment of workers, including:
Confirms a safe and secure working environment, including:
Most global buyers across textiles, packaging, engineering, and pharma require this audit as a baseline to assess whether your operations are ethically responsible and safe.
The 4-Pillar audit is an advanced, more comprehensive assessment, typically required by pharmaceutical, chemical, food, FMCG, and high-risk industries.
It includes all requirements of the 2-Pillar audit, and adds two critical additional pillars:
Evaluates your company’s sustainability and environmental responsibility, including:
Assesses governance, integrity, and ethical practices, including:
4-Pillar audits provide global buyers and multinational clients with assurance that your company is not only ethical and safe but also environmentally responsible and governed by strong ethical standards.
If you are a supplier in India working with international brands, chances are your customer has already asked:
“Do you have Sedex?”

At Greendot, we know that Sedex audits can feel complex, overwhelming, and document-heavy. Our mission is to simplify the process and make it practical, so your company achieves compliance without disrupting day-to-day operations.
We don’t just prepare you to pass one audit — we build systems and processes that sustain compliance, reduce risk, and strengthen your global reputation.
We don’t just prepare you to pass one audit — we build systems and processes that sustain compliance, reduce risk, and strengthen your global reputation.
Conduct a detailed review of your HR, safety, environment, and compliance systems to identify gaps and opportunities.
Develop a practical, actionable plan focused only on what is needed for your audit and long-term sustainability.
Create policies, SOPs, checklists, and documentation tailored to your company, aligned with SMETA 2-Pillar or 4-Pillar standards.
Training & Awareness
Conduct mock audits, review documentation, and provide hands-on on-site support, ensuring a smooth and successful audit.
Don’t wait until your customer says “No Sedex, no business.”
Be prepared before the question is asked.
