World’s largest battery cell manufacturers report against harmonised sustainability performance expectations developed by the Global Battery Alliance

Published

on

BRUSSELS, Nov. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Ten consortia, led by the world’s leading battery cell manufacturers, successfully complete the largest pre-competitive effort to establish harmonised battery passports achieving a new milestone towards more transparent and sustainable battery value chains.

 

 

The pilots were coordinated by the Global Battery Alliance (GBA), the leading multi-stakeholder platform committed to scaling a responsible and circular battery value chain by 2030. Building on the successful battery passport proof of concept in 2023, the consortia worked with seven digital solution providers to determine provenance and flow of seven materials – lithium, graphite (artificial), aluminium, cobalt, copper, iron phosphate and nickel.

Cell manufacturers representing over 80% of global electric vehicle battery market share mobilised their supply chains from mining companies to refiners, manufacturers and recyclers to participate in the pilots, including: Contemporary Amperex Technology Limited (CATL), CALB Group Co. Ltd, Circularize, Circulor, FinDreams Battery, EVE Energy Co. Ltd, Glassdome, Gotion High-tech Co., Ltd., LG Energy Solution, Li Auto, Minviro, Minespider, Nanjing Fuchuang Intelligent Manufacturing Technology Co., Ltd. Samsung SDI, Shenzhen Dianlian Technology, Shenzhen Precise Testing Technology Co., Ltd., and Sunwoda Electronic Co., Ltd.

Building on existing regulations and voluntary standards, seven rulebooks were developed through a multistakeholder process by the GBA, covering: Greenhouse Gas emissions; Environmental and Human Rights Due Diligence; Forced Labour; Child Labour; Biodiversity; Indigenous Peoples’ Rights and Circular Design. The rulebooks define baseline expectations and leading practices to help guide company efforts in addressing risks and sustainability impacts within their supply chains. Participating in the pilot allowed companies to benchmark their preparedness against the due diligence requirements of the EU Batteries Regulation, which will be implemented from 2025.

Over 200 sustainability reports were gathered, and five pilots participated for the first time in independent data verification, marking a major step towards establishing the GBA Battery Passport as a trusted source of sustainability indicators. The GBA also trialled a system to score company efforts with the aim to issue a product level sustainability certification in the future. Leveraging digital product passports for data collection, aggregation, scoring and verification, the GBA Battery Passport provides companies with globally harmonised expectations for reporting, guidance for continuous improvement, and recognises efforts beyond compliance. This allows investment, procurement and purchasing decisions to apply globally comparable metrics on battery value chain sustainability. In the future, the GBA Battery Passports will yield comparable data across 20+ environmental, social and governance categories in a trusted format.

Commenting on the launch, Inga Petersen, Executive Director of the GBA said, “We are thrilled with the results of the 2024 Battery Passport pilots and congratulate all participating organisations for this major achievement. Having the world’s leading cell manufacturers mobilize their supply chains, work pre-competitively and report on harmonised sustainability expectations represents an unprecedented commitment to greater transparency and sustainability in the battery industry as captured in the 2030 GBA Vision.”

NEW YORK, Nov. 7, 2024 /CNW/ – Galaxy Digital Holdings Ltd. (TSX: GLXY) (the “Company” or “GDH Ltd.”) today released financial results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2024, for both itself and Galaxy Digital Holdings LP (the “Partnership” or “GDH LP”).

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, Galaxy reported net income of $191 million, driven by strong operating performance and positive digital asset markets. Galaxy’s equity capital was $2.1 billion as of September 30, 2024.

Helios: Subsequent to quarter-end, Galaxy executed a non-binding term sheet with a U.S.-based hyperscaler to host high-performance computing at its Helios campus in West Texas. The term sheet includes options to allocate all of Helios’ 800 megawatts of currently approved power capacity to HPC hosting and support. The consummation of the transaction is subject to execution of definitive documents, customary due diligence and approvals of the parties.

US Listing and Reorganization: Galaxy continues to work on completing its proposed reorganization and domestication to become a Delaware-incorporated company and subsequently list on the Nasdaq, upon completion of ongoing SEC review and subject to stock exchange, shareholder and applicable regulatory approvals of such transactions. On July 26, 2024, Galaxy filed an amendment to its registration statement responding to SEC comments, which is under review.
