Responsible Business Alliance
An electronics industry code of conduct, with audits of factories, set by the companies themselves.
- Supportive: it improves the score but isn't proof on its own
What it is
The Responsible Business Alliance is an industry group of electronics companies. Members agree to a code of conduct on labour, health and safety, and their factories are audited against it.
What it checks
- A code covering working hours, forced labour and recruitment fees
- Third-party factory audits
What it doesn't
- It's run by the industry itself, and members set their own pace
