Sustainability at Durapower
At Durapower, we recognize that true progress lies in balancing industrial growth with social and environmental responsibility. Guided by the principles of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG), we are committed to driving sustainable innovation and creating long-term value for all our stakeholders.
As a leading lithium battery manufacturer, we are dedicated to managing our entire value chain responsibly. From the extraction of raw materials to the recycling and repurposing of batteries, every phase of the lifecycle is carried out with a focus on sustainability and adherence to ethical practices.
Our Approach to Sustainability
Environmental Responsibility
We prioritize reducing our environmental footprint by embracing a circular economy model.
Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Monitoring: Comprehensive tracking and reporting of emissions across Scope 1, 2, and 3, in alignment with the GHG Protocol.
Social Impact
We believe in empowering communities and advancing inclusive development.
- Workforce safety and well-being.
- Collaboration with local stakeholders to enhance social outcomes.
- Supporting education and training programs.
Governance Excellence
Strong governance underpins our ESG initiatives, ensuring accountability and transparency through adherence to international best practices.
- Regular ESG reporting and disclosures.
- Ethical business practices across operations and partnerships.
- Establishing robust frameworks for risk management and compliance.
Transparency drives trust. Durapower employs industry-leading practices to measure and disclose our ESG performance. This includes our ongoing carbon footprint assessments, aligning with international frameworks, and demonstrating our commitment to sustainable growth.
Commitment to a Circular Economy
Sustainability is at the heart of Durapower’s innovation. Our dedication to a circular economy ensures that our batteries contribute to a greener future by:
- Recycling: Recovering valuable materials for reuse.
- Repurposing: Extending the lifecycle of batteries through second-life applications in less demanding environments.
Battery systems that have aged while powering electric vehicles can be redeployed to provide stationary energy storage systems after their main first life application. Battery packs retired from electric vehicles will have 70% residual energy retention, which can be repackaged into a stationary storage system for power backup or peak shaving applications. This allows residential buildings the possibility of an economically viable extension of the value of the batteries.
-
End of first life
After its first life in a vehicle, the battery retains 60 to 90% of its capacity.
-
Collection
The pack is extracted, collected and send to recycling center.
-
Refurbishing
Packs are tested and cells fit for 2nd life are dismantled and reassembled into homogeneous modules.
-
Reusing
Refurbished battery modules are integrated into large stationary storage systems to provide various services to the grid.
