This video is part of: Centre for Nature and Climate

You scan the battery with a QR code to find out which minerals it contains, where they were mined and how the battery ranks on a host of environmental factors and labour practices. The Passport scores every stage from mining to refining to manufacture, delivering a standardized rating that sets a new benchmark in battery transparency.
