Our approach to transform the electric vehicle and device manufacturing industry: Navigate - Engage - Evaluate - Communicate
Batteries are considered a critical enabler to decarbonize transportation. However, the extraction of raw materials and the processes of battery production generally consume large amounts of energy, generates polluting wastes, and raises social controversies. Policy-makers and stakeholders expect clarity and transparency on how you deal with those challenges that constrain your sustainable development.
We help identify and interpret the most relevant and significant sustainability issues arising from the application of batteries in devices and vehicles through science-based methodologies and stakeholder engagement processes. Our services:
The inconsistent level of commitment and competence among different value chain actors have a significant impact on the productivity and effectiveness of sustainable development agenda implementation. The ambition for sustainable development goals shall be underpinned by the partnership, collaboration, and co-creation of value chain actors.
We help mobilize and empower the battery value chain to address the targeted sustainability issues by unlocking the synergies of coordinated actions taken by all value chain actors. Our services:
To businesses, transition to a sustainable development model is a transformative but iterative journey. The lack of transparency and clarity could dampen the efficacy of efforts invested by all actors. Ambiguity and information asymmetry could overshadow the sustainable development endeavors committed.
We help assess and benchmark the performance of battery applications and the value chain concerned on targeted sustainability subjects by employing international, regional, industrial, and TÜV Rheinland’s proprietary norms. Our services:
The expectations of stakeholders provide important ground for businesses to define their sustainable development priorities. A lack of responsive, timely and, complete approach to the communication with stakeholders on sustainable value chain activities may engender the mistrust and conflicts between businesses and stakeholders.
We help report to stakeholders the progress of advancing sustainability subjects in battery applications and the value chain concerned. We help enhance the accuracy, credibility, and accessibility of reports and claims on a sustainable battery value chain. Our services:
- Verifying claims on durability, reusability, and recyclability
- Verifying claims on extended producer responsibilities
- Verifying corporate sustainability reports
