Sustainability is everything
We will produce battery-grade lithium with the lowest possible environmental impact. We are committed to developing the Georgia Lake mining project and our Converters in a responsible and sustainable manner, and hold ourselves accountable to strict environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) standards. We believe batteries must be long-lasting, safe, and at the end of their life, they should be repurposed, remanufactured, or recycled, feeding valuable materials back into the economy. Because transparency and accountability are key, we have set ambitious (ESG) environmental, social and governance targets:
Net Zero
- By 2030, Rock Tech aims to reduce scope 1 and 2 emissions at the Guben converter by at least 50% compared to the 2023 LCA base case of 4.34 t CO2/t LHM. As an aspirational target, Rock Tech aims to reduce scope 1 and 2 emissions in Guben to zero by 2030.
- By 2030, Rock Tech aims for a 15% reduction of scope 3 emissions at the Guben converter compared to the 2023 LCA base case of 6.2 t CO2/t LHM. As an aspirational target, Rock Tech aims to reduce scope 3 emissions from Guben by 40 % by 2030.
- Rock Tech estimates scope 1 and 2 emissions at its Georgia Lake to be 0.5 t CO2/t SC6. Rock Tech aims to improve its respective carbon footprint from this baseline. The aspirational target is a reduction of 60%.

Circular Economy
- By 2030, Rock Tech aims for at least 90% utilization of its non-lithium products produced in Guben.
- By 2030, Rock Tech aims to produce up to 50% of its battery grade lithium products from recycled feedstock.
- Rock Tech strives to minimize its impact on water resources in the regions we conduct our mining operations. Within 2 years of commercial production, Rock Tech aims to meet Level A or higher of Towards Sustainable Mining (TSM)’s Water Stewardship Protocol.
Responsible Organization
- Rock Tech is an equal opportunity employer, and all job applicants are considered for employment. By 2030, Rock Tech aims to increase its female workforce to 40%, leadership positions to 40%, and board members to 50%.
- Rock Tech is committed to fostering a generative health and safety culture with the goal of achieving zero harm.
- By 2025, Rock Tech aims for corporate sustainability disclosure in alignment with TCFD recommendations, and to adopt all mandatory sustainability disclosure Frameworks.
- Rock Tech proactively supports the battery passport transparency requirements for lithium mining & refining in alignment with the new EU Battery Directive and aims for full compliance within 1 year of commercial production in Guben.
