world鈥檚 largest industry coalition dedicated to responsible business conduct in global supply chains.</h3> </div> <div class="content"> <p>Founded in 2004 by a group of leading electronics companies, the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA), formerly the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC), is a nonprofit comprised of electronics, retail, auto and toy companies committed to supporting the rights and well-being of workers and communities worldwide affected by global supply chains. RBA members commit and are held accountable to a common <a href="code-of-conduct/">Code of Conduct</a> and utilize a range of RBA training and assessment tools to support continuous improvement in the social, environmental and ethical responsibility of their supply chains. In addition to RBA members, thousands of companies that are Tier 1 suppliers to members are required to implement the RBA Code of Conduct. </p> <p><img src="media/docs/EICClogo.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="167" /></p> <p>The RBA regularly engages in dialogue and collaborations with workers, governments, civil society, investors and academia to gather the necessary range of perspectives and expertise to support and drive its members toward achieving the RBA mission and values of a responsible global electronics supply chain. In October 2017 the EICC became the RBA to reflect its expanded reach and influence.</p> <p>Today the RBA and its Responsible Minerals, Labor and Factory Initiatives have more than 600 members with combined annual revenues of greater than $8 trillion, directly employing over 21.5 million people, with products manufactured in more than 120 countries.</p> <h3>Vision & Mission</h3> <p>Vision: A coalition of companies driving sustainable value for workers, the environment and business throughout the global supply chain.</p> <p>Mission: Members, suppliers and stakeholders collaborate to improve working and environmental conditions and business performance through leading standards and practices.</p> <p><iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/870799278?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0"
