Voltas Awards 2025

Battery Supply Chain Excellence Awards

Celebrating the industry’s brightest and best
The 2024 inaugural Voltas awards recognised and celebrated the pioneering companies, leaders and innovators who demonstrated excellence and groundbreaking achievements across the battery raw materials supply chain, and those who paved the way to a more sustainable future. 

Each category was judged independently by an industry-leading panel of experts. The autonomous judging process is fundamental to the integrity of the awards, meaning the winners are selected on the merit of their achievements and outstanding contribution to our space against rigorous criteria. 
 
Here are our 2024 winners, and we can’t wait to welcome you to the 2025 Voltas Awards! More information will be available soon.
