As demand for renewables and batteries grows, driven by increasing electrification and demand from data centres and AI, we will depend on an array of minerals required by these technologies. It's crucial to find and produce these minerals in ways that are less harmful to the planet and its inhabitants, and to source them through resilient supply chains that are not overly reliant on single sources.  The importance and vulnerability of our mineral supply chains has been brought intofocus by recent trade tensions and emerging geopolitical rivalries.  

 Ted Rhodes, a CMS UK Partner, has recently published a book on ESG in Mining and Minerals. He will be featured in an upcoming Legal Update to share key insights on this topic, including tariffs and trade risks, critical minerals, supply chains, and, of course, ESG.

 Neil Baylis, a CMS UK Partner specialising in competition and trade laws, has advised key industry associations such as the International Lithium Association and the Cobalt Institute.  He has been close to the developments and issues affecting global trade in these and other metal and minerals and will share his thoughts on this topic at the upcoming Legal Update.
