Sustainability Atelier on the EV Battery Supply Chain


CLOSED EVENT - BY INVITATION ONLY

CSR Europe in collaboration with the Minerals Council South Africa will deliver a two-day workshop to foster capacity-building in the electric vehicle battery supply chain in Kathu, South Africa. The training will benefit contractors, local government, traditional authorities, and civil society groups involved in the Manganese and Iron Ore mining operations in the John Taolo Gaetsewe (JG) District Municipality.

The Atelier is a key milestone of the 2023 programme of the Extractives for Sustainability project, funded by the German Development Agency GIZ on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), and aimed at creating a local sustainability network that promotes and supports responsible sourcing in the electric vehicle battery supply chain. A network will support the exchange of good practices, experiences, and the development of joint activities to improve procurement conditions. In the long run, a joint effort will have a greater impact than individual companies' efforts. 

 JOIN THIS ATELIER TO:

  • Join leading mining companies and suppliers in a collaborative approach to learn and share with each other on common sustainability issues in the Manganese and Iron Ore mining industry.

  • Exchange and learn whereby participants will share their challenges and experiences, with an emphasis on exchange as a key element of the training approach.

  • Discover case studies on collaborative approaches or potential best practices on common challenges will also be presented, as well as exploring potential avenues for joint action.
