Creation of the Material Change for Renewables Report

Produced by TDi Sustainability in 2024, this report is an essential guide for producers and purchasers of clean energy.

It examines where the key challenges lie in the mineral supply chains for solar panels and wind turbines, and presents approaches, resources and recommendations for meeting those challenges.

The report includes:

• Salience grades for the environmental, social and governance issues associated with key materials used in wind turbines and solar panels
• The voluntary standards that cover the salient ESG issues in renewables supply chains and a discussion of their risk mitigation potential
• Material profiles for three materials that are key to the clean energy transition – silicon, aluminium and steel
• Supply chain due diligence recommendations
