Taipei FUDY Completes Second RBA VAP Audit with an Excellent Score of 168.5/200

What are RBA and VAP Audits?

RBA (Responsible Business Alliance) is an important standards-setting organization for the global electronics industry supply chain. It originated in 2004, founded by global electronics industry leaders such as IBM, Dell, and HP, originally named the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC), and was officially renamed the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) in 2017.

The code of conduct established by RBA applies not only to large enterprises but also covers every link in the entire supply chain, including Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM), Original Design Manufacturers (ODM), and Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS). Currently, RBA has been updated to version 8.0.1 (released in February 2024), continuously improving its standards.

VAP (Validated Assessment Program) is a rigorous audit mechanism designed by RBA to assess suppliers’ compliance with the RBA Code of Conduct. Through VAP audits, companies can demonstrate their performance in five major areas to customers and stakeholders: labor rights, health and safety, environmental protection, ethical standards, and management systems.

Why Does FUDY Value RBA Certification?

1. Implementing Corporate Social Responsibility FUDY Printing firmly believes that a company’s success lies not only in business performance but also in how responsibly it treats employees, communities, and the environment. RBA certification is a concrete manifestation of our ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) principles.
2. Enhancing International Competitiveness As global supply chains increasingly demand corporate social responsibility, RBA certification has become an important threshold for entering international markets. Through active participation in RBA verification, FUDY Printing demonstrates our determination to align with international standards.
3. Driving Continuous Improvement RBA audits are not just a certification but an important tool to help us identify issues and continuously improve. Each audit provides us with valuable feedback, driving us to move forward.

FUDY will continue to uphold our core values of “Integrity,” “Care,” and “Sustainability,” following our sustainable development strategy “P.A.R.T.N.E.R.,” and continuously improving our performance across all RBA standards. We believe that only companies that truly take on social responsibility can win long-term success in intense market competition.

FUDY thanks all employees, customers, and partners for their support. Let us work together to create a more responsible and sustainable future!
