Corporate responsibility self-assessment for companies in risk countries
Companies located in risk countries are asked to provide a self-assessment via IntegrityNext, which addresses all relevant CR aspects. As member of RBA, ams OSRAM uses its calculation logic for the definition of a high risk country. In case RBA defines a country as high risk, then ams OSRAM defines this country as high risk as well.

As a member of the Responsible Sourcing Initiative (RMI) ams OSRAM asks its suppliers to comply with the RMI process and to only accept conformant smelters in their supply chain.
