Please fill in to view webinar

Name(Required)

On March 1st, RCS Global and Re|Source partners hosted a webinar on Experiences and Lessons Learned of Developing a Successful Battery Passport Pilot. In conversation with our project partner Re|Source solution, the webinar reflects on experiences from developing a digital product passport, lessons learned throughout the journey and look ahead to what the next steps are as regulations start stepping into force.

At this year’s World Economic Forum in Davos, one of the world’s first successful, end-to-end assured battery passport pilots was presented. RCS Global and Re|Source implemented a pilot to test the interoperability of systems.

As regulations such as the EU Battery Regulation steps into force, circularity, transparency and traceability become critical cornerstones in ensuring compliance. Corporations are not only encouraged but required to understand their supply chains and overall performance in terms of human rights and child labour indicators, and Green House Gas emissions.

This RCS Global and Re|Source webinar dives into the evolution of digital product passports focusing on the increasing pressure from regulatory requirements. In conversation with Re|Source, RCS Global will discuss key lessons learned from developing the first successful battery passport pilot and look ahead to what the next steps will be as regulations start stepping into force.
