Empowering excellence in the industry We strive to ensure that all cobalt mined, processed, and used in end-products is sustainably sourced
With our solution, companies in the supply chain can account for every unit of cobalt in end-products and prove its provenance, enabling the whole industry to meet sustainability standards
SOLUTION
Tracing the cobalt from start to finish
Proving Provenance
Establishing the material's provenance. Enabling cobalt to be easily and effectively traced from the mine to the battery
Back to Basics
Accounting for every unit of cobalt. Bags are signed, sealed and given a unique code to be tracked along the supply chain
Tackling Product Transformation
Matching inputs with outputs on a mass balance approach and adjusting to process specifics
Efficient due diligence
Connecting Supply Chains
Delivering a technological solution for efficient due diligence, linking all supply chain players from the miner to the EV producer
Best Practice
Integrating existing standards and audit programs (RMI, IRMA, CIRAF, and others). Each company has an option to indicate which standards they apply
Trust Through Technology
Ensuring that all the information on the platform can be trusted, complementing relevant audit reports with technologically enabled trust
