Hexagon AB, a global leader in digital reality solutions, today announced it has joined the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA), the world's largest industry coalition dedicated to corporate social responsibility in global supply chains. The RBA and its initiatives include more than 400 members, with combined annual revenues of greater than $7.7 trillion, driving sustainable value for workers, the environment and businesses.
Hexagon is committed to ensuring its supply chain conducts business and operations in a sustainable and ethical manner, respecting the planet and its people. Hexagon will drive sustainable value across its supply chain and internal operations through RBA standards, policies, risk assessment platforms, audit tools, e-learnings, and more. The membership is an important step towards reaching Hexagon’s goal of conducting sustainability supplier audits on 100 percent of direct suppliers in risk areas by 2023.
“Building sustainable practices across our operations and supply chain reduces risks, strengthens relationships and ultimately creates value for Hexagon and our customers. As a global company with operations in more than 50 countries, we have the opportunity and responsibility to drive real change by upholding the highest standards in all business areas. By joining the RBA, we will work together with some of the world’s leading companies to improve working and environmental conditions across the world”, said Hexagon President and CEO Ola Rollén.
Hexagon fully supports the vision and goals of the RBA. In addition, Hexagon is committed to progressively align its operations with the provisions of the RBA Code of Conduct and to support and encourage its first-tier suppliers to do the same.
