Currently, the power battery industry has entered a new stage of development featuring continued rapid technological innovation, battery recycling, vertical integration of the industry, and accelerated overseas deployment.
Combined with the characteristics of the power battery industry, the ESG material issues of China's local power battery companies are constructed from three aspects: environment, social responsibility and corporate governance:
1. From an environmental perspective, power battery companies are energy-intensive and highly polluting. Although power batteries are green products that meet the country's "dual carbon" goals, they still produce a lot of pollutant emissions and consume a lot of electricity and water resources during the battery manufacturing process. Environmental issues are involved in the production and recycling stages, so it is necessary to pay attention to substantive issues such as the company's pollutant emission levels and the proportion of green electricity used in these stages.
In addition, due to the polluting nature of used batteries, the recycling and secondary utilization of power batteries has become an issue that battery factories must face. This link requires attention to relevant substantive issues such as the battery factory's used battery processing capacity and the recycling rate of nickel, cobalt and manganese metal.
2. In terms of social responsibility, the first thing that needs to be focused on is product quality. This is because power batteries, as important components of new energy vehicles, are directly oriented to consumers during use and are prone to safety issues such as combustion and explosions during use.
Therefore, special attention needs to be paid to the quality control of power batteries by battery factories, which involves whether the battery factory has product quality certification and a complete quality management system.
In addition, due to the long power battery industry chain, it is also necessary to pay attention to the stability and selection of upstream suppliers of battery factories.
3. At the corporate governance level, the power battery industry is an industry where traditional manufacturing and high-tech industries run parallel. Therefore, while paying attention to the more common indicators of battery factories in management evaluation and management standardization, it is also necessary to pay attention to whether the management has knowledge in the power battery field. Relevant scientific research background.
And the background of the management can, to a certain extent, reflect whether the company's future development path is in line with the future development trend of the industry.
