01What it does

What Responsible Business Alliance does

Mission

Through the application of shared standards and tools, RBA believes they can create better social, economic, and environmental outcomes for all involved in the supply chain management. These outcomes include: improved conditions for workers, increased efficiency and productivity for customers and suppliers, economic development, and a cleaner environment for communities. Thus, the RBA mission is to promote a common Code of Conduct and a shared approach to implementing the Code throughout their members.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

Programs

  1. Membership services rba membership is open to companies that manufacture or contract the manufacture of electronic goods or a product in which electronics are essential to the primary functionality of the product, or supply materials used in the electronics of those goods.

  2. Risk assessment services - provide a series of platforms and analysis services that allow member companies to assess risk levels of manufacturing sites in the areas of labor rights, health and safety standards, environmental sustainability, and business ethics. The assessment tools range from using (1) high-level macro elements to determine inherent risks, (2) self-assessment processes to identify a specific risk profile and mitigation controls, and (3) third-party assessments to provide an independent expert analysis of the conditions at the site.

  3. Assessment program rba has developed an assessment program for member companies and their suppliers. All validated assessments are independently managed by a third-party assessment program manager and in some cases a fourth party performs a quality control check to ensure report consistency and quality. In conjunction with the assessment program, rba has developed a learning management system for extensive learning capability training for member companies and their supply chain.

The organization over time

Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
