In an effort to raise awareness of emerging global regulations on supply chain due diligence for RBA and Responsible Labor Initiative (RLI) members and their suppliers in key sourcing regions, as well as to help them prepare effective responses, the RBA is organizing a series of in-person trainings in Asia. These are free for RBA and RLI members as well as their direct suppliers.

The trainings will be conducted by RBA staff who have been working directly with policymakers in EU, U.S., and Canada throughout the law-drafting process. These trainings will also feature guest speakers from core RBA members and prominent local organizations. The trainings are most suitable for managers in charge of supply chain management, procurement and sustainability. Each company can register up to three participants for each training. Please note that except for Japan where interpretation between English and Japanese will be provided, the other trainings will be conducted in English only.
