EU Battery Passport · CSRD · ISSB S2 · Mandatory now

Your ESG performance
is only worth
what you can prove.

Regulators require it. Lenders demand it. Supply chain buyers won't take your word. Stratum builds the independently verified record that opens every door.

The deadline isn't coming. It's already here.

Three overlapping mandates now require mining companies to produce independently verified ESG evidence — or lose access to capital markets, supply chains, and regulated financial products.

US$750bn
Transition capital requiring verified ESG proof · IEA, 2024
EU Battery Passport Feb 2027 · 4 months

Required for any company supplying the EV supply chain. No compliant battery passport means no sale into the EU market.

CSRD / ESRS Active now

Mandatory sustainability disclosure for large companies and EU-listed miners. Applies to subsidiaries and supply chain partners in scope.

ISSB S2 20+ jurisdictions

Climate-related financial disclosure is now mandatory in over 20 jurisdictions and adopted by major capital markets globally.

The trust architecture

Only proof travels. Your data stays yours.

Raw and personal data stays in your systems, in your country. Stratum publishes fingerprints and consented aggregated results — never personal or raw data.

Signed with your own key

Your signing keys are stored in secured hardware and never leave your custody. Every record carries the rule version and a tamper-proof hash. Nothing in the history can be altered after it's signed.

One outcome, claimed once

A tonne, a hectare, or a credit is counted in exactly one place. Carbon already sold on a registry is excluded from any impact record. Double counting is impossible by design.

Consent that can be revoked today

Every evidence read passes a live consent check. When a community withdraws consent, access stops immediately — not at the next audit cycle.

Raw data stays with the mine Only proof travels to the GIC Each result is claimed once The GIC never holds money

How it works

Four steps from performance data
to a verified record capital accepts.

Two independent gates close the system. You approve the framework. An accredited third party signs the result. Nothing downstream moves before those gates close.

01 · Lexington

Set the framework

Your benchmarks, your targets — agreed with Lexington Advisory before any measurement starts. Stratum never sets or changes a target on your behalf.

02 · Stratum

Connect and measure

Connect your existing systems. Evidence is recorded at source and checked against your targets before it reaches a reviewer. Early warnings catch problems before they become breaches.

03 · Verifiers

Independent sign-off

Accredited third parties review the evidence and sign it. Lexington, Stratum, and iQuantile never sign claims about the sites they serve. That rule is enforced, not aspirational.

04 · GIC

Capital access

Verified results publish to the Global Impact Commons and unlock outcome-linked finance — issued only by licensed partners. Stratum holds no money and mints no tokens.

What it unlocks

A verified record is your entry point.

Capital providers, supply chain buyers, and regulators all want the same thing: independently verified evidence. One Stratum record satisfies all of them.

$750bn

Transition finance access

Every fund, development bank, and infrastructure lender deploying into the energy transition requires verified ESG records before committing capital. Stratum is the record they accept.

Feb 2027

Supply chain compliance

EU due diligence rules require a verified record from every mining supplier. One Stratum record meets every buyer requirement in the chain — no duplicate data collection per customer.

15

Reports, from one record

Every regulatory report type — ISSB S2, CSRD, GRI 14, EU Battery Passport, lender covenants — generated from the same verified source. No separate compliance exercise per regulator.

The platform

Built for every reader in the room.

Operators track performance. Communities give and withdraw consent. Buyers and lenders read verified records. Each view is built for that reader's job — not the same screen rearranged.

EU Battery Passport · Deadline approaching

Mining companies supplying the EV supply chain must comply by February 2027. Stratum generates a compliant battery passport directly from your verified performance record — no separate data collection, no spreadsheets.

Six principles

Testable rules, not aspirations.

Each principle is a constraint a feature can break — making it wrong, not a trade-off. These rules are enforced in the system, not stated in a policy document.

"Lexington, Stratum, and iQuantile never sign claims about the sites they serve. That is not a policy; it is enforced."
01

Framework first

No benchmark, no measurement. No verified result, no token. Stratum reports against a Lexington framework; it never sets or changes a target itself.

02

You own your data

Raw data stays in your systems, in your country. Records are signed with your own key, held in secured hardware. Keys never leave your custody.

03

Only proof travels

Fingerprints and consented, aggregated results leave your boundary — never personal or raw data. Enforced at the record builder, not by policy alone.

04

One outcome, claimed once

A tonne, a hectare, or a credit is counted in exactly one place. Carbon already sold on a registry is excluded from any impact record on the GIC.

05

Independent verification

Accredited third parties sign every result. Lexington, Stratum, and iQuantile never sign claims about the sites they serve. That is not a policy; it is enforced.

06

Capital follows proof

Finance is issued only against verified results, and only by licensed partners. Stratum supplies the data; it holds no money and mints nothing.

Petra · AI reasoning layer

Every answer comes from verified evidence.

Petra works from your verified record — not from general knowledge. It cites the evidence behind every answer, or it refuses to answer. Ask it anything about your portfolio.

Cite or refuse

If Petra can't find the evidence in the verified record, it says so. It does not guess or infer.

Draft standard reports

CBAM, GRI 14, ISSB S2, quarterly production — all 15 report types, each grounded in your verified record.
