The challenge – creating a low carbon future
Governments around the world are setting higher climate change and sustainability standards to support the energy transition. They are encouraging businesses to create a sustainable path forward and as a result, mining and chemical supply chains are now forever connected to other industries, especially the automotive industry.
The extraction and processing of the materials to support battery production brings greater complexity. These changes include an evolution from the traditional business environment to one with high stakeholder expectations, including a greater focus on automation, lower carbon footprint and sustainable operations.
Developing critical mineral projects
To meet the challenges, SGS provides extensive services in geochemistry, metallurgy, process development, and consulting. In fact, SGS is a leader in this high growth market, helping many clients develop critical mineral projects especially in areas related to lithium, nickel, cobalt, graphite, rare earth elements, and battery recycling. We enable them to advance their projects and enhance their operations by minimizing risk, improve decision making and stakeholder engagement.
We are also supporting clients when they apply for government funding programs related to battery supply chain, which often requires key partners, like SGS, to leverage our expertise in innovation, new technology and sustainability.
How our solution helps society
Given the high demands placed on the mining industry, we support the collaboration our clients require across their full supply chain. Through this support, we are helping these companies to make a real impact on climate change and contributing to the energy transition the world needs.
