Human rights violations may lead to indecent treatment or discrimination towards employees, workers, and other stakeholders - which may contribute to broader systemic economic and social inequities.

At Rambus, we respect human rights throughout our company, operations and supply chain. We work to uphold the relevant fundamental rights and freedoms of all people across the business, aligned with the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), the International Labour Organization's (ILO's) Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. We have updated our Human Rights Policy to reflect our commitment to the UNGPs. This policy extends to our supply chain and the Rambus Vendor Code of Conduct further incorporates human rights requirements expressed in international norms and standards.

We utilize third-party risk analytics to conduct a supply chain risk analysis. Through our annual analysis, we gain deeper insights into inherent geographical risks related to labor, health and safety, environment, business ethics and management systems. We use the results of the analysis to assign risk assessment tools and prioritize suppliers within our audit program.

In 2023, 100 percent of our foundry and contract manufacturing suppliers submitted the RBA supplier self-assessment questionnaire (SAQ), which yields a risk level rating. We use this SAQ score as an additional input to assign a risk level rating to each supplier. We are pleased to share that all of our suppliers received a Low Risk Rating in 2023.

Labor -related items across our operations may impact employees, local communities, suppliers and customers. These stakeholders are engaged through multiple channels and their input is integrated into our assessments.
