Problem
The raw materials sourcing process, especially for the battery industry, is often opaque and carries significant environmental and societal impacts. Current methods for assessing ESG risks in raw material extraction are often reliant on traditional audit services, which can be costly, lack independence, and may not provide real-time insights. Stricter regulations, such as the new EU battery regulation, necessitate more effective and transparent monitoring of ESG risk categories.
Solution
Rosa provides a sustainable raw materials sourcing platform that leverages earth observation and data analytics to bring transparency to the sourcing and extraction of raw materials. The platform uses satellite data combined with other data sources to provide insights into various environmental and social impacts, including forest biomass, species richness, water bodies health, community empowerment, and CO2 emission intensity. By offering a data-driven, visualization-oriented, and modular monitoring platform, Rosa enables companies to gain clarity on their current activities, improve communication on ESG strategies, and achieve compliance with evolving regulations. The platform integrates with existing supply chain software and offers trustworthy metrics to support day-to-day communication strategies.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes mining companies, OEMs, refining companies, battery manufacturers, and investment firms seeking to improve the sustainability and transparency of their raw material sourcing.
