sedex reviews and updates smeta audits every year to adapt them to the latest trends in global sustainable development and meet the practical needs of members and stakeholders. the update from smeta 6.1 to smeta 7.0 is the most significant update in recent years, involving "additions" and "modifications" in many aspects. this update not only adds and upgrades the original assessment framework, but also integrates the requirements and methods of supply chain due diligence management, comprehensively improving the ability of the workplace to identify risks and continuously improve performance, so as to better adapt to the requirements of esg and due diligence act for supply chain risk management.
