🌍🔋 We are pleased to announce our participation in the Global Battery Alliance's 2024 Battery Passport pilots, marking an important step towards improving transparency and sustainability in battery value chains. 🔋🌏
As part of the GBA's collaborative efforts, CATL contributed to two #pilot projects for its Shenxing and CTP #batteries. These projects, verified by independent agencies, reflect our ongoing commitment to fostering a greener and more sustainable future.
Highlights include:
👣 A carbon footprint of 49 kgCO2eq/kWh across both pilots, showcasing efforts to reduce #emissions throughout the battery lifecycle.
🍃 Strong alignment with Battery Passport criteria, focusing on #transparency, traceability, and environmental considerations.
📚 Development of seven rulebooks addressing key #sustainability topics such as greenhouse gas emissions, circular design, and biodiversity.
CATL is proud to support this initiative, which aligns with our broader vision for sustainable development and #circularity. By collaborating with industry partners, we aim to contribute to global standards for battery sustainability and promote advancements in regulatory and product #innovation.
Last month, we held an insightful workshop with the management team, focused on team #commitment and #ownership. Following the workshop, we had the opportunity to join the CATL Basketball Löwen for a training session at a sports hall in Arnstadt. 🏀
It was not just about physical training – the Lions also shared their strategies and mindset on what it takes to become #1 in #basketball. A great experience learning from their dedication and vision! 🦁
During last week's INDUSTRIE INTOUCH, we once again opened our doors to interested #visitors and potential future employees. The event provided a great opportunity to showcase our innovative #production processes and the range of career options available in the industry.

🌿 Another step for our forests! 🌿
We are excited to share the positive impacts of our tree planting efforts in the Thuringian Forest! After planting a total of 9300 trees, we are already seeing early successes in restoring biodiversity and enhancing the resilience of our forests.
💪 Last week, our employees and local volunteers came together once again to plant an additional 350 trees and revitalize affected areas in Waltershausen. Every tree counts – and every effort makes a difference!
🌍 Given the challenges posed by climate change, it’s more important than ever to transform our forests into resilient mixed woodlands. The initiative we started together with BAUMPATEN THÜRINGEN® is helping to significantly improve CO2 balance and create habitats for numerous species.
We thank everyone who supports us on this journey. Let’s continue to fight for a greener future together! 💚

The new basketball season has started - and with a bang!
🏀 In the first home game against Porsche Basketball Akademie Ludwigsburg, CATL Basketball Löwen fans were treated to quite the thriller that our team narrowly lost by two points in overtime. In addition to many spectacular scenes, the high level of fair play and the - as always - great atmosphere in Riethsporthalle were impressive to watch.
😤 It is clear that our team still needs some time to develop in the coming weeks, especially with the numerous young talents from the region. The CATL Basketball Löwen are known for their outstanding promotion of young talent, and this year the focus has been expanded even further: seven of the 18 players are from their own U19 Bundesliga team.
This weekend we are excited to welcome VR-Bank Würzburg Baskets Akademie to Erfurt. Come and join us on Sunday 16:00 at Riethsporthalle!
