How can energy storage buyers prepare for greater scrutiny of their supply chains?

The PV industry's experience has shown that navigating changing policies and stricter trade regulations is challenging. The concern over project delays and growing demands for transparency from both investors and buyers has also intensified.

As the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) sector gains momentum, it's crucial to define new levels of due diligence to prevent major consequences for the global supply chain.

In this webinar, CEA experts inform buyers how to prepare for greater scrutiny of their supply chain and to pre-emptively improve accountability. Viewers will gain a better understanding of the measures that invested parties can implement to mitigate risks associated with BESS products they are procuring or investing in.

CEA gives insights into the complexities of the lithium-ion battery supply chain and how to identify potential ESG risks.

Responsible BESS supply chain policy fits into broader concepts of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations.

Drawing from the lessons learned with solar’s UFLPA in the US and other government legislation requiring supply chain transparency, we discuss how to address potential challenges in implementing traceability efforts and ensuring a secure supply chain.
