Rambus reserves the right to verify supplier compliance with company standards and the RBA Code of Conduct. We take a risk-based approach to managing our supply chain and utilize third-party risk analytics to conduct a supply chain risk analysis. Through our annual analysis, we gain deeper insights into inherent geographical risks in our supply chain 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. Based on the results of the risk assessment, Rambus decides which tool will be most effective to evaluate the supplier. For example, we may require an RBA Validated Assessment Program (VAP) onsite audit to learn more. Suppliers identified as presenting a high risk of forced labor may be required to submit a specialized assessment designed to identify the risk of forced labor at the employment site.
In 2023, there were 0 incidents of non-conformance related to young workers.
