Supplier Code of Conduct

ChargePoint has adopted the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) Code of Conduct as its code of conduct, applicable to all suppliers in its supply chain. ChargePoint adopted the RBA Code due to its standards for responsible manufacturing.

The RBA Code of Conduct is an evolving document that incorporates the feedback of industry participants, suppliers, and customers. It is available for download directly from the RBA website in multiple languages.
