On April 10, 2025, during the 13th International Energy Storage Summit and Exhibition, TÜV Rheinland Group (hereinafter referred to as “TÜV Rheinland”) and Shanghai Ronghe Yuanchu Energy Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Ronghe Yuanchu”) officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement to initiate a profound transformation of the sustainable supply chain system within the energy storage industry. The ceremony was attended by notable guests including Li Zhongheng, Chief Financial Officer of TÜV Rheinland North Asia, Xu Hailiang, Vice President of the Smart Energy Division in Greater China, and Shi Jie, General Manager of Ronghe Yuanchu, along with Deputy General Manager Wang Youjia. This partnership signifies their commitment to collaborate on zero-carbon factories, the establishment of an ESG supply chain framework, and compliance with new EU battery regulations, thus facilitating a transition in China’s energy storage sector from “green manufacturing” to a “sustainable ecosystem.”
As global focus on the green economy intensifies, the construction of an ESG supply chain system compliant with international standards has become a crucial move for companies undergoing sustainable development and transformation. In the current context of accelerating global energy transition, energy storage technology has emerged as a vital hub for establishing new power systems. By fostering resource sharing and complementary advantages between sustainability and energy storage, and by deeply integrating industrial resources, a strong impetus can be provided for creating a zero-carbon energy ecosystem. Ronghe Yuanchu, a provider of energy storage technology services targeting international markets, has dedicated years to offering full life-cycle services to its clients in the energy storage supply chain through innovative product technologies and efficient, safe integrated solutions.
In pursuit of continued enhancement of economic, social, and environmental synergies, Ronghe Yuanchu plans to achieve full-chain traceability based on data regarding carbon emissions, labor rights, and community impact. This initiative aims to improve terminal value for customers and drive the entire industry toward greener practices. As a globally recognized third-party testing and certification organization, TÜV Rheinland possesses extensive expertise in the fields of energy storage and sustainable development. In this strategic collaboration, Ronghe Yuanchu will leverage TÜV Rheinland’s technical support to initially promote supply chain emissions reduction efforts at its intelligent manufacturing base in Yongkang, Zhejiang. This will be accomplished through the integration of rooftop photovoltaic systems and energy storage solutions, culminating in a zero-carbon factory project that achieves self-sufficient power for production and 100% green energy coverage.
Regarding compliance with the new EU battery regulations, there is an increasing urgency for Ronghe Yuanchu to meet quality system and market access demands due to the ongoing evolution of global regulatory policies and the deepening of its overseas business. In response, TÜV Rheinland will deploy its team of experts specializing in energy storage and sustainability to assist Ronghe Yuanchu in enhancing supplier access and ensuring compliance with global regulations during the production process. TÜV Rheinland will also support Ronghe Yuanchu in establishing a comprehensive life-cycle carbon database to facilitate market entry into Europe, offering a one-stop solution aimed at delivering safer and higher-quality products to global customers.
Sustainability, as a core strategy upheld by TÜV Rheinland, aligns closely with the values and practices shared by Ronghe Yuanchu. The future collaboration between the two entities will adhere to long-term principles, working together to build a green supply chain system unique to the energy storage industry. This partnership aims to help related industries achieve carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals while collectively constructing a safe, efficient, and sustainable green energy ecosystem, thereby effectively promoting the green transformation and high-quality development of the global economy and society.
