Critical materials are crucial for climate, energy, and economic security, and their concentration in a small number of countries has never been higher. Amid growing geopolitical risks, energy transition demands and industrial policy shifts, securing critical minerals and harnessing a competitive advantage is a top priority.
As governments and industry move from strategy to action on resilient supply chains, the need for internationally aligned and technically robust standards has never been greater.
Join BSI and expert guests for a forward-looking discussion on how the UK can support global standards development for sustainable, circular, and transparent critical material supply chains.
The session will:
Explore how standards underpin the delivery of the UK’s updated Critical Minerals Strategy and the G7 Critical Minerals Action Plan.
Examine international developments across the G20 and ISO.
Identify gaps where new or revised standards are needed.
Share best practices to streamline standardization efforts.
There will be time for a Q&A during the event. If you would like to ask your questions in advance, please use the comments area below, and we will bring it to the panel during the event.

Frank Menchaca, Azolan LLC and Chair of SAE Global Battery Traceability Committee
