SGS, Faradion Energy Storage Partner for Sustainable Energy Storage

SGS, a leading global provider of testing, inspection, and certification services, has formed a strategic partnership with Faradion Energy Storage Technology Co., Ltd. (Faradion Energy Storage) at the 2025 Shanghai International Carbon Neutrality Technology, Product and Achievement Exhibition. The event, themed "Towards Carbon Neutrality," opened on June 5th, marking a significant step towards enhancing sustainability in the energy storage industry.

The collaboration between SGS and Faradion Energy Storage focuses on several key areas, including ESG sustainable development, product traceability, supply chain management, carbon footprint certification, and compliance with new battery regulations. By leveraging the strengths of both companies, the partnership aims to drive sustainable development in the energy storage sector. Faradion Energy Storage will benefit from SGS's global market access analysis and standard training, which will facilitate the entry of its products into international markets. Additionally, the two companies will offer a range of services, including safety certification, performance testing, and grid connection certification for energy storage systems.

Kang Xiaoli, Director of the Electronics and Electrical Services Department at SGS, emphasized that this collaboration brings valuable ESG practices to the new energy sector. Faradion Energy Storage has integrated ESG principles into its strategic and operational frameworks, driving low-carbon transitions through technological innovation and establishing robust internal management systems. These practices serve as a model for other energy storage companies, providing a pathway for sustainable development in the industry.

In the realm of carbon footprint assessment, SGS will provide Faradion Energy Storage with carbon footprint evaluation services. This will help the company accurately quantify the carbon emissions associated with its products and services, providing essential data for developing effective carbon reduction strategies. By identifying key areas of carbon emissions and proposing targeted reduction measures, SGS aims to optimize Faradion Energy Storage's carbon management strategies, enhancing its market competitiveness and showcasing its commitment to low-carbon development.

The trend towards low-carbon collaboration across the entire supply chain is gaining momentum. He Han, Product Manager for the Low Carbon Division at SGS, noted that the "dual carbon" goals are pushing companies to shift from isolated emission reduction efforts to comprehensive supply chain coordination. Low-carbon supply chains are becoming a critical competitive advantage. Companies can establish green supplier management systems, set low-carbon procurement standards, and drive overall emission reductions across the supply chain. Additionally, developing supply chain carbon management platforms can facilitate data sharing and optimization between upstream and downstream enterprises. SGS can assist companies in promoting the mutual recognition of international low-carbon certification systems, helping them navigate international trade barriers.
