Sunwoda's Digital Battery Passport Solution was named a finalist for the Supply Chain & Scope 3 Decarbonisation Project of the Year at the 2026 edie Energy & Tech Awards. The platform, which launched in October 2025, tracks battery value-chain data across manufacturers and suppliers.
Why it matters
The platform simplifies carbon accounting and traceability, helping manufacturers prepare for upcoming regulatory standards. By integrating material sourcing and environmental data, the system assists firms in managing compliance records across the supply chain.
The platform manages 78 distinct indicators across six modules, including carbon footprint and due diligence. In 2025, Sunwoda completed five pilot projects and engaged 28 suppliers in carbon management.
The players
Sunwoda
This is a battery manufacturer that focuses on developing integrated digital solutions for battery lifecycle and supply chain management.
Global Battery Alliance
This is a multi-stakeholder coalition that works to establish a sustainable battery value chain and standardize reporting requirements.
The details
The solution links product identity and environmental performance into a single digital record to facilitate data exchange. It is designed to track complex requirements across the entire battery lifecycle.
Timeline
Development of the battery passport platform began in 2023.
Collaborative pilots and Global Battery Alliance pilot selection occurred in 2024.
Sunwoda officially launched the battery passport platform in October 2025.
The 2026 edie Energy & Tech Awards ceremony was held on October 17, 2026.

Roadmap
Automotive manufacturers are increasingly adopting digital passport systems to meet rigorous global environmental standards. This move positions Sunwoda to compete against established firms by automating compliance for the transition to electric vehicles.
The implementation of these passports ensures that vehicle manufacturers can verify the origin and carbon footprint of battery components. This helps maintain market access for electric vehicles as compliance deadlines approach for battery packs over 2 kWh.
The takeaway
Digital platforms are becoming essential tools for manufacturers to manage complex environmental tracking requirements. Companies that adopt standardized data exchange early are better positioned to meet upcoming international regulatory mandates.
