Webinar with Sedex: Focus on freedom of association and worker representation

What does the latest Sedex data reveal about worker representation and freedom of association? And how can companies leverage the SMETA methodology to create more meaningful worker engagement and social dialogue? Join Ethical Trade Norway and Sedex to explore emerging trends, key challenges, and practical solutions.

Freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining are fundamental labour rights and a key element of responsible business conduct. However, in many supply chains, workers face barriers to representation due to legal restrictions, weak implementation, or lack of awareness. 

In this webinar, Ethical Trade Norway and Sedex will explore what Sedex metadata reveals about how companies and suppliers are currently working with freedom of association and worker representation. The session will provide insights into trends, common gaps, and challenges identified through the Sedex platform, offering a data-driven perspective on how this topic is addressed in practice. 

We will also discuss how companies can use Sedex as a practical tool in their due diligence processes to identify risks, monitor supplier performance, and support improvements related to worker voice and representation. The webinar will highlight opportunities to move beyond compliance-focused approaches and strengthen meaningful worker representation through engagement with suppliers and other stakeholders.
