Minviro and Tres Works Forge Strategic Partnership to Accelerate Battery Supply Chain Sustainability and Regulatory Compliance

London, UK / Seoul, South Korea, Minviro, a global leader in life cycle assessment (LCA) software solutions for raw materials and supply chains, is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Tres Works, South Korea’s leading environmental consulting firm specialising in LCA and ESG compliance. This collaboration represents a significant milestone in advancing digital solutions that enable Korean manufacturers to meet the strict requirements of the EU Battery Regulation and other global environmental standards.

Under this partnership, Minviro’s advanced LCA software platform, XYCLE, will be introduced to the Korean market through Tres Works, enabling local battery material producers, component suppliers, and OEMs to streamline environmental impact assessments across the entire battery value chain, from raw material extraction to end-of-life recycling and to comply with upcoming regulations.

“This partnership bridges global expertise and local impact,” said Dr. Robert Pell, Founder and Director of Minviro. “By integrating our software with Tres Works' deep regulatory and industry knowledge, we are empowering Korean companies to meet compliance with confidence, and future-proof their sustainability strategies.”

Empowering the Battery Sector for EU Readiness

The EU Battery Regulation demands verifiable environmental data and transparent reporting across battery supply chains. Tres Works, already a trusted partner for major Korean manufacturers, is now enhancing its services by leveraging Minviro’s scenario-based, data-rich software platform.

Together, the two firms offer a unique, fully integrated solution that combines robust LCA modelling with consulting insights, helping clients not only comply with regulations but also build competitive sustainability strategies.

XYCLE, now being deployed in Korea through Tres Works, will enable Korean companies to:

• Rapidly assess and optimise the carbon footprint of battery materials, electronics, chemicals, and other products
• Prepare for compliance with the EU Battery Regulation, Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), and other global frameworks
• Build high-quality environmental datasets aligned with international standards and ready for verification

Together, Minviro and Tres Works are setting a new standard for how data, digital tools, and policy expertise can combine to drive meaningful progress in industrial decarbonization.

“This isn’t just about software—it’s about strategy,” said Seok-jin Hong, CEO of Tres Works. “Partnering with Minviro allows us to offer comprehensive digital support that enhances our clients’ readiness for tomorrow’s regulatory and market demands.”
