How Umicore is ensuring sustainability in the North American EV battery chain

Charged EVs

For EVs to deliver their full emission-reducing potential, the battery supply chain must be as clean as possible, and cathode active materials (CAM) are a key part of the sustainability equation. It’s part of our circular business model which we adopted 23 years ago. Second, the use of renewable electricity. How do we do this?
