How Our Clients Passed Supplier Audits After Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) Code of Conduct 8.0 Training
📌 For Compliance Managers, CSR Officers, Procurement Leaders, and Quality Professionals
Supplier audits have become more complex and data-driven—especially with the release of the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) Code of Conduct 8.0. Companies are now expected to demonstrate a higher level of diligence across labor practices, environmental stewardship, health and safety, ethics, and governance.
At Skills Enhancement Studio Singapore, our specialized RBA 8.0 Awareness Training has helped dozens of B2B clients pass critical supplier audits smoothly—many on their first attempt.
🔍 Step-by-Step: From Training to Audit Readiness
🧠 Step 1: Understand the RBA 8.0 Pillars
Our course begins by unpacking the five core areas of the RBA 8.0:
- Labor
- Health & Safety
- Environment
- Ethics
- Management Systems
Interactive Exercise:
Participants reflect on areas of risk in their own supply chains.
“I didn’t know RBA covered environmental audits this deeply. The course gave me clarity.” – Compliance Officer, Semiconductor Manufacturer
✅ Step 2: Conduct a Post-Training Gap Assessment
Each client receives a Gap Assessment Toolkit to compare their current practices to RBA requirements.
Outcome: Teams quickly identified compliance gaps in documentation, contractor policies, and grievance channels.
“The checklist made it easy to spot missing SOPs we had overlooked for years.” – CSR Manager, Logistics Company
🔧 Step 3: Execute Corrective Action Plans
Clients use our Corrective Action Planning Template to address gaps systematically. This includes:
- Updating labor contracts
- Revising health and safety procedures
- Enhancing grievance and anti-harassment protocols
🧪 Step 4: Simulate a Mock Supplier Audit
We offer an internal audit simulation guide, complete with auditor-style questions and scoring rubrics.
Impact:
Teams gain confidence and reduce the element of surprise.
“The mock audit gave us a real taste of the pressure. That simulation prepared our team to speak up confidently.” – Plant Manager, OEM Supplier
📁 Step 5: Prepare Documentation and Audit Evidence
We emphasize how to organize digital and physical documents, such as:
- Code of conduct acknowledgments
- Incident response records
- Anti-bribery policies
Quick Tip:
Auditors want evidence of implementation, not just policies on paper.
🤝 Step 6: On-Demand Coaching & Support
For clients needing extra assurance, we offer audit-day coaching and documentation review.
Result:
100% of supported clients either passed or had only minor non-conformities (NCs).
