Benchmark’s Graphite ESG Report is an annual subscription with quarterly updates.
The report offers comprehensive coverage of the evolving ESG landscape in the upstream graphite supply chain, forecasted trends and our Benchmark Global LCAs, which measure the environmental impact of producing both natural (flake) graphite and synthetic graphite for use in EV battery anode production.
To keep subscribers up to date, the report contains individual assessments of all graphite producers, including companies both in development as well as operational, with indicators measuring and benchmarking ESG performance based on our Benchmark Sustainability Index. Utilising data collected through Benchmark’s independent research and analysis, this report provides detailed, holistic and expert ESG assessment and monitoring of the natural and synthetic graphite industries of the graphite supply chain.
The Benchmark Sustainability Index is a composite index that benchmarks natural graphite companies based on their degree of ESG transparency and performance. All natural graphite companies have been included in this Index and scored on 87 indicators highlighting the most pressing topics of concern. Separate Environment, Social and Governance scores are calculated, along with an overarching composite ESG score, for each company in the upstream natural graphite supply chain. Companies are classified into four categories based on their performance: "Industry Leading", "Good Practice", "Moderate Visibility" and "Limited Visibility".
