CATL has joined the Global Battery Alliance’s (GBA) new board of directors for the term April 2023 to December 2024, a press release from the power battery giant said today.

CATL is the only Chinese company to be appointed to the GBA’s board of directors and is a member of the alliance’s oversight committee, according to the release.

The GBA is a public-private collaboration platform founded in 2017 at the World Economic Forum to help establish a sustainable battery value chain by 2030, according to its official website.

The Alliance’s members are typical representatives from industry, government, non-governmental organizations and academia, covering all segments of the global battery industry chain.

Appointed to the GBA’s board of directors will help the company promote its efforts to establish more carbon footprint rules and contribute to the sustainable development of the global battery industry, said CATL.

In November, CATL launched its “CREDIT” value chain sustainability transparency audit program, the company’s audit tool for the lithium battery supply chain.
