The GBA is a collaboration platform that brings together leading international organisations, NGOs, industry actors, academics and multiple governments to drive systemic change along the entire battery manufacturing value chain.
"Joining the Global Battery Alliance is a critical step that Siemens is taking to build our battery passport ecosystem which aims to go beyond regulatory compliance and empower stakeholders to capture, access and manage battery value chain data," explained Puneet Sinha, senior director, Battery Industry, Siemens Digital Industries Software. "Together with the Global Battery Alliance and its community, we are helping to bring the power of digital transformation to a future facing battery industry that is efficient, ethical and sustainable."
The GBA aims to achieve three fundamental outcomes, which Siemens has endorsed. These include establishing a circular battery value chain, establishing a low carbon economy in the value chain, and safeguarding human rights and economic development.
Working with these principles, Siemens said that it aims to bring about innovative, sustainable practices within the battery industry that not only minimise environmental impact but also create new job opportunities and generate additional economic value.
"We are delighted to welcome Siemens to the Global Battery Alliance to help drive our shared vision of driving adoption of digital transformation across all aspects of the production lifecycle, from ideation through engineering, production and disposal to increase efficiency and build a sustainable battery industry," said Inga Petersen, Executive Director, Global Battery Alliance.
This collaboration marks a significant milestone in Siemens' long-lasting commitment to advancing sustainable energy solutions, particularly in the context of evolving global regulations on battery sustainability, carbon footprint, and traceability.
By joining GBA, Siemens is aligning with major stakeholders across the entire battery supply chain, spanning from material developers to cell suppliers, OEMs, and government bodies to strive towards a greener and more ethical future.
