While the environmental impacts of lithiu -ion batteries have been investigated in numerous studies, little attention has been given to the potential social impacts. Therefore, an assessment of the social sustainability hotspots of lithium-ion batter- ies is carried out.
The endowment in the Lithium Triangle is significant, and the expectations for the global supply are high in terms of resources and sustainability. In this paper, we investigate the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) challenges to the future of sustainable lithium extraction.
Identifying the social impacts of battery supply chain must necessarily include all life cycle phases, such as the extraction and processing of raw materials, the production of intermediates, the production of battery cells, the assembly of the battery pack as final product and the disposal or recycling.
Therefore, an assessment of the social sustainability hotspots of lithium-ion batter- ies is carried out. The assessment is based on a spatially differentiated resource flow model of the supply chain.
The low recycling rate of lithium batteries poses a significant challenge to sustainability. The ESG rating system, which measures corporate practices in environmental, social, and governance areas, is crucial to stakeholders but currently inadequate in addressing the recycling issue.
