The voluntary carbon market is scaling up rapidly as more and more companies adopt net zero commitments. Net zero commitments entail working to reduce businesses’ own emissions across their activities, which may include the emissions from raw materials and the eventual consumption or use of their products.

As the world seeks to respond to net zero, we are seeing the rapid growth in green technologies, especially in the rapidly moving electric vehicle (EV) market. The climate benefits of a technology shift from internal combustion engines (ICE) to EVs are clear, but rapid market growth means growing demand for critical materials that are vital for the highest value component in an EV: the lithium ion battery.
