RBA members commit publicly to the RBA code of conduct (the “Code of Conduct”) and are expected to actively pursue conformance to the Code of Conduct and its standards as a total supply chain initiative.
• We require all manufacturing suppliers to abide by all applicable laws and regulations and by the RBA Code of Conduct, by treating employees with respect and dignity. We haves taken multiple actions to ensure social responsibility and labor rights in our supply chain.
