RBA的认证结果分为铂金、黄金、白银三个等级，犹如电子行业的道德阶梯
1.1 Objective
This document is intended to serve as a guideline for deeper understanding of the Responsible Business
Alliance Code of Conduct by offering elements to demonstrate Compliance to RBA Code for companies on
their efforts to implement the RBA Code of Conduct on their operations. This guidance provides all the
elements needed for a successful implementation for each element of the code of conduct.
The vision of the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) is that through the application of environmental
social and governance standards we can enhance the economic and environmental conditions of our
members and their supply chains. This includes (but is not limited to) increased efficiency and productivity
for companies and suppliers, improved conditions for workers economic development, and understanding
and reducing risk to ensure continuity of supply.
RBA的行为准则，犹如一本不断更新的宝典，每三年便与时俱进，确保其与国际规范同步，与成员在供应链中可能遭遇的挑战共舞。宝典的修订过程，犹如一场浩大的交响乐，历时一年，与成员和利益相关者共同谱写，确保其既符合国际规范，又贴近行业实际。
宝典共由五大部分构成：劳工的权益、健康与安全的保障、环境的呵护、商业道德的坚守，以及监管执行的管理体系。这五大部分，犹如五根坚实的支柱，共同支撑起RBA这座道德的高塔。
RBA的审核流程，宛如一场严谨的试炼。首先，申请者需登陆RBA官网，提交自我评估的信息，完成自评的初步检验。随后，RBA会指派专业的第三方审核公司，如同派遣公正的使者，前往供应商的生产基地或工厂，进行实地审核。审核员们将如侦探般，深入每一个角落，对管理体系、劳工条件、环境保护、商业道德等方面进行全面的侦查，确保供应商达到RBA的验厂标准。
审核结果出炉后，供应商需根据审核报告制定改进计划，如同根据医生的诊断制定治疗方案。随后，审核员将再次进行复核，确保改进计划的有效实施，并验证其是否符合RBA的验厂标准。最后，审核机构将根据审核结果，给予供应商相应的评级，并颁发RBA证书，如同颁发一枚道德的勋章。
RBA的认证结果分为铂金、黄金、白银三个等级，犹如电子行业的道德阶梯。铂金者，VAP得分需超过200分，所有缺陷均已纠正，是道德的高地；黄金者，VAP得分需超过180分，是道德的坚石；白银者，VAP得分需超过160分，是道德的起点。无论哪个等级，都是对供应商道德努力的肯定与激励。
RBA-VAP认证的有效期为两年，如同道德的契约，有效期内，认证企业需要持续进行自我评估和改进，确保道德之树常青。若企业在续期审核中未能满足要求，其认证资格将被取消，如同道德的警钟，提醒着每一家企业，道德之路需持之以恒。
The mission of the RBA is that Members, suppliers, and stakeholders collaborate to improve working and
environmental conditions and business performance through leading standards and practices.
Fundamental to the RBA is the understanding that a business, in all its activities, must operate in full
compliance with the laws, rules, and regulations of the countries in which it operates. The RBA encourages
companies to go beyond legal compliance, drawing upon internationally recognized standards to advance
social and environmental responsibility.
The RBA Code of Conduct (RBA Code) may be voluntarily adopted by any business in the electronics sector
and subsequently applied by that business to its supply chain and subcontractors. To adopt the RBA Code
and become a participant ("Participant"), a business shall declare its support for the RBA Code and seek to
conform to the RBA Code and its standards in accordance with a management system as set forth in the
Code.
For the RBA code to be successful, it is acknowledged that Participants should regard the RBA code as a
total supply chain initiative. At a minimum, companies shall require their next tier suppliers to acknowledge
and implement the RBA Code. The RBA is committed to obtaining regular input from stakeholders in the
continued development and implementation of the RBA Code.
