Excessive working hours in manufacturing supply chains remains a key challenge for companies. The RBA Code of Conduct is aligned to global standards on working hours and local laws at manufacturing locations. However, violations of the Code remain a challenge despite extensive efforts by RBA member companies.
Key activities of the RBA include evaluating working hours in our risk assessments, creating a Practical Guide to Understanding Working Hours Globally, and engaging key governments to understand laws, enforcement, and incentives around working hours.
