The Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) is a nonprofit coalition of leading electronics, retail, auto, and toy companies committed to promoting responsible business practices in global supply chains. Founded in 2004, the RBA aims to enhance social, environmental, and ethical standards across industries, ensuring that workers are treated with respect and dignity, workplaces are safe, and environmental impact is minimized.
Members of the RBA adhere to a comprehensive Code of Conduct that covers various aspects, including labor rights, health and safety, environmental protection, ethics, and management systems. The RBA provides tools, training, and assessments to help member companies and their suppliers comply with these standards.
Through collaborative efforts, the RBA addresses critical issues such as forced labor, conflict minerals, and carbon emissions. By fostering transparency and accountability, the RBA drives improvements in supply chain practices, contributing to sustainable and ethical global business operations. The alliance's initiatives support long-term positive impacts on workers, communities, and the environment.
