IPC COMMUNITY 66 FALL 2024 zations like the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA), the Joint Audit Cooperation (JAC) in telecommunications, the Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG), and the Euro- pean Responsible Supply Chain Initiative (RSCI) to include IPC-1401 in ESG best practices. Additionally, IPC could collab- orate with ESG rating agencies to integrate IPC-1401 into their rating standards, encouraging more companies to adopt this standard. IPC could respond to member needs by developing ESG compliance standards, launching ESG man- agement system certifications for the electron- ics industry, and elevating ESG to a global mem- ber service strategy. This would help companies prevent ESG risks, manage ESG disclosure and ratings, and enhance their competitiveness. "This will help them move beyond the anxi- ety and internal competition over ESG disclo- sure and ratings, integrate ESG into their busi- ness and operations, effectively prevent ESG risks, protect their business, and enhance their competitive advantage," Zhou says. "The target audience for the 2024 ESG Sus- tainability Forum is electronics manufactur- ing companies.
