RBA Logo As part of this effort, in 2010 we joined Responsible Business Alliance to ensure that working conditions in the electronics industry or industries in which electronics is a key component and its supply chains are safe, that workers are treated with respect and dignity, and that business operations are environmentally responsible and conducted ethically.

Conflict Free Material Policy (3TG)

Roos Instruments recognizes the adverse impacts associated with mining in conflict regions. RI expects our suppliers and, in turn, their suppliers to adhere to the Responsible Business Alliance code of conduct and only source minerals from responsible sources. We seek to participate in industry initiatives to create and deploy supply chain verification processes (such as RBA Due Diligence Tool and Conflict-Free Smelter Program) to confirm that the minerals in our supply chain come from responsible sources. For more information, including additional details about RI's due diligence process, please see our Conflict Minerals Report (2022).
