Battery Passports

Issue battery passports meeting requirements of EU, US and China

ReSource showcases end-to-end traceability and provenance, greenhouse gas emissions, and ESG metrics, based on actual OEM supply chain from mine to electric vehicle / energy storage, all feeding into the Battery Passport

Why ReSource?

Policy Leadership

Actively involved in supply chain traceabilty and battery passports policy development in the EU, US and China
Proven Experience

Together with the Global Battery Alliance we piloted the world's first battery passport pilots in 2023 and demonstrated end-to-end traceability for Tesla
Granular Traceability

Founded by Glencore, CMOC and ERG we provide exclusive, granular traceability & ESG data to 100% of all production from their cobalt and nickel mines

Core Features

Material Journey

Easy navigation through the complex global legislation, owned and suppliers’ ESG documentation
Compositions and Technical Details

Demonstrate up-to-date makeup and performance specifications
Flexible Ownership

Track ownership and responsibility of a battery throughout its lifecycle
Role-Based Data Access

Ensure that each user can only view or manage the data relevant to their specific function
Carbon Footprint

Report emissions from production and use
Due Diligence Policies

Verify adherence to key standards
Proof of Provenance

Confirm material origins with clear documentation
Recycled Content

Highlight the percentage of recycled materials used

You can be confident that your data is only accessible to authorized parties, such as relevant individuals, commissions, and notified bodies, in line with your explicit permissions.

Key Steps for Battery Passport Compliance Readiness

Conduct Gap Assessment & Readiness Analysis

Evaluate existing supplier data and reporting mechanisms
Identify traceability and ESG data gaps
Engage stakeholders through interviews and workshops

Implement Robust Data Collection

Define and scope essential data points for compliance
Develop standardized data collection templates
Establish internal reporting frameworks, digital tracking solutions, and monitoring systems

Strengthen Supplier Collaboration

Host workshops to clarify compliance requirements
Support the implementation of data-sharing protocols and traceability tools
Verify supplier compliance through audits and third-party certifications in collaboration with our certification partners

Finalize Readiness Assessment & Submission

Conduct internal compliance checks and validate systems
Prepare and compile required documentation for regulatory submission
Initiate continuous improvement processes to ensure ongoing compliance and timely updates
