Better conditions for all
Our value chain spans the globe, relying on technology, innovation and most importantly, people from all cultures and walks of life.
We are committed to positively impacting the communities and environment where we operate. We expect supply chain partners to uphold high human rights and environmental standards and take a positive, proactive stance regarding social and environmental issues.
Suppliers are assessed for conformance to the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) Code of Conduct and other Responsible Supply Chain (RSC) policies and standards via third-party audits, supplier questionnaires and on-site assessments. Our approach to supplier development is based on a continuous improvement model, working closely with suppliers to help them understand, prevent and mitigate risks in and to their business.
Protecting worker health and safety
Protecting workers in our value chain from environmental, health and safety risks is a key part of our RSC mission and the RBA Code of Conduct. Our Materials of Concern Standard and Electronics Reuse and Recycling Standard support safe and healthy environments for anyone who manufactures, uses or recycles Meta hardware. We support safe process chemical management at supplier sites, utilizing the RBA Industry Focus Process Chemicals (IFPC) Policy as a foundation, and engage in the industry’s efforts to move towards substitution and elimination.

Reducing forced labor risks
Meta is opposed to all forms of human trafficking, slavery, servitude, forced labor, and all other trafficking-related activities.
