Overview

Mission

The mission of the lead battery 360 initiative is to drive the lead battery industry on its journey towards a sustainable supply chain in every territory. At the heart of the program is a comprehensive assurance/certification process that allows participating lead battery manufacturing and recycling sites to undergo independent verification that they are delivering actions supporting the seven guiding principles of lead battery 360, which define responsible production and sourcing in the lead battery value chain.

What it reported doing in 2025

The mission of the lead battery 360 initiative is to drive the lead battery industry on its journey towards a sustainable supply chain in every territory. We will do this by championing best practices in lead mining, lead production and lead battery manufacturing and recycling, and by encouraging responsible practices along the entire battery value chain no matter where batteries are produced and recycled. At the heart of the program is a comprehensive assurance/certification process that allows participating lead battery manufacturing and recycling sites to undergo independent verification that they are delivering actions supporting the seven guiding principles of lead battery 360, which define responsible production and sourcing in the lead battery value chain. Sites that are certified have demonstrated their commitment to adhering to internationally recognized responsible operating practices. Participants in the lead battery 360 assurance programme are assessed every three years against the lead battery 360 code by senior assessors. After successful completion of the assessment, sites that demonstrate their conformance to the code and its performance expectations are awarded a lead battery 360 certified participant claim. At the end of 2025 there were ten companies participating in the assurance program. Two of these sites have now received independent audits to confirm that they are operating using procedures that demonstrate responsible production and raw material sourcing practices.
