Nano One Materials Corp. Takes a Stand Against Modern Slavery in Supply Chains
Nano One Materials Corp., a Canadian leader in clean technology and lithium-ion battery materials, makes a significant stride in social responsibility by publishing its Modern Slavery Report for the financial year ending December 31, 2024. This report, released on May 30, 2025, adheres to the Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act and delineates the company’s proactive measures to combat human trafficking, forced labor, and child labor. By emphasizing transparency and accountability, Nano One aims to not only safeguard its workforce but also to ensure ethical practices throughout its supply chains, which are crucial for the production of its cathode active materials (CAM).
The report reflects Nano One's commitment to fostering responsible sourcing and manufacturing processes. With a workforce of approximately 106 employees based in Burnaby, British Columbia, the company emphasizes collaboration with a select group of North American suppliers who share its dedication to ethical business practices. By building strong relationships with these vendors, Nano One works to create a supply chain that prioritizes human rights and sustainability. This strategic approach not only enhances the company's operational resilience but also aligns its business objectives with emerging global standards for social responsibility.
In addition to its focus on ethical supply chains, Nano One continues to innovate within the lithium-ion battery sector. The company recently achieved a milestone by securing 11 new patents in 2024, bringing its total to 48 worldwide. These advancements come as Nano One develops its Candiac facility, which stands as North America’s only commercial-scale lithium-ion phosphate (LFP) cathode production plant. By advancing its technologies and maintaining robust governance and management systems, Nano One is poised to enhance its environmental impact and contribute positively to the clean energy transition.
Beyond the Modern Slavery Report, Nano One is actively engaged in a 2024 Sustainability Assessment aimed at strengthening its social responsibility frameworks. This assessment is an integral part of the company’s ongoing efforts to improve governance and management systems, ensuring that ethical practices remain at the forefront of its operations. As Nano One progresses into 2025, it remains committed to refining its strategies to combat modern slavery, thereby setting a benchmark within the lithium-ion battery industry for responsible sourcing and manufacturing.
