Assuring Sustainability and Traceability in New Mobility

The shift to electric mobility introduces new sustainability challenges—particularly in sourcing, recycling, and reusing high-value materials like lithium, cobalt, and nickel. Circular-economy practices are essential for minimizing waste and achieving true carbon neutrality across the value chain.

BQCIS conducts independent verification of sustainability metrics, including Lifecycle Assessments (LCA), carbon-footprint validation, and GHG reduction claim assurance. Our reports quantify the total environmental impact of vehicles and components from raw-material extraction to end-of-life recovery.

We also validate battery reuse and recycling efficiency, ensuring second-life applications meet safety and performance criteria. These certifications support regulatory compliance with upcoming Battery Passport initiatives and ESG disclosure frameworks.

Key Verification & Circularity Activities

Battery Recycling & Reuse Validation

Verification of EV battery second-life applications and recycling processes. We assess health, capacity, and recovery efficiency for lithium-ion systems, certifying compliance with global recycling directives and ensuring responsible material circularity.

Lifecycle & Carbon-Footprint Assessment

Comprehensive LCA and ISO 14064-1 carbon-footprint verification covering cradle-to-grave impacts. Results support ESG reporting, regulatory disclosures, and identification of emission hotspots to prioritize sustainable design and sourcing.

Key Benefits of Lifecycle & Circularity Verification

Benefit 1

Regulatory Readiness

Demonstrates full compliance with EU Battery Passport, ESG, and extended-producer-responsibility frameworks.

Benefit 2

Quantified Sustainability Impact

Provides verified lifecycle data to benchmark emissions and identify material and energy-efficiency opportunities.

Benefit 3

Resource Circularity

Validates safe reuse and recycling of critical raw materials, reducing waste and supply-chain dependency.

Benefit 4

ESG Credibility & Transparency

Third-party assurance builds investor and stakeholder trust in sustainability claims and performance disclosures.

Success Story

LCA Reveals Hidden Carbon Hotspot in Supply Chain

The Challenge:

A leading OEM required verified cradle-to-gate carbon data for an EV chassis to meet EU Battery Passport and CBAM compliance requirements.

Our Solution:

BQCIS conducted a full LCA of the aluminum frame and battery casing, auditing supplier data and identifying emission-intensive refining stages within the value chain.

The Result:

The verified study pinpointed high-carbon aluminum sourcing as the main hotspot. The OEM switched to hydro-powered suppliers, reducing total vehicle CO₂ emissions by 15 % and achieving compliance ahead of schedule.
