CHELTENHAM, England, April 29,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- TDi Sustainability, a leading
authority in supply chain compliance, has released a new report
addressing the critical challenges and considerations surrounding
responsible sourcing in the clean energy
transition.
Material Change for Renewables provides an analysis
of the vital role of key minerals and metals for the future of
clean energy. With an estimated three billion tons of metals
required to produce the clean energy technology necessary to keep
global warming below 2°C, the report emphasises the urgency of
adopting sustainable and ethical practices in critical material
supply chains.
Key features of the report include:
- An analysis of supply chain due diligence, stakeholder
expectations, and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG)
issues associated with metal and mineral production for the
renewables sector.
- Profiles of three key materials for solar and wind technologies
– aluminium, steel, and silicon – shedding light on critical issues
such as forced labour and environmental degradation that have been
associated with their production.
- Recommendations for proactive measures that producers and
purchasers of clean energy can take, including the development of
standardised ESG frameworks to aid systemic management operations
and verification of performance.
The report highlights the necessity for collective action - with
engagement in industry voluntary standards being essential in
assisting individual companies to charter a path forward and
address priority ESG issues.
"The Material Change for Renewables report serves as an
essential guide for companies and stakeholders involved in the
clean energy transition," said Assheton Carter, CEO of TDi
Sustainability. "This report offers actionable insights and
recommendations to navigate the complex landscape of responsible
sourcing and ESG considerations, empowering organisations to drive
