This achievement signifies LONGi's significant accomplishments and international recognition in promoting sustainable development and green energy innovation.

The S&P Global CSA covers sustainability assessment standards across 62 different industries. It quantifies the information disclosure and performance of various issues related to the environment, society, governance, and economy, thereby comprehensively reflecting the level of corporate sustainable development management.

This year, S&P Global released the S&P Sustainability Yearbook (China Edition) 2024 for the second time, aiming to identify and recognize Chinese companies that demonstrate sustainable development advantages in their respective industries. The selection scope included more than 1,700 Chinese companies, and only 129 outstanding companies were selected to be included in this yearbook, with 39 companies awarded special recognition.

Holding the sustainable development goal of “affordable for all” and the energy equity concept of “solar for all,” LONGi is committed to becoming an advocate, practitioner, and leader in sustainable development in the global clean energy field, making a positive contribution to global green, low-carbon sustainable development and the realization of a zero-carbon future.

To advance climate actions, by the end of 2023, LONGi's cumulative shipments of silicon wafers exceeded 414.24 GW, accounting for 27 percent of the global photovoltaic cumulative installed capacity. This can generate 1,736.1 billion kWh of green electricity, equivalent to eliminating 812 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions or planting 4.06 billion trees, making a significant contribution to global climate action and sustainable development.

To convey goodwill and build a harmonious, win-win society, LONGi consistently fulfills its social responsibilities. Internally, the company ensures employee rights and welfare, upholds human rights, advocates for equality and diversity, and creates a safe, healthy, and inclusive work environment through the ISO 26000 social responsibility system. LONGi published the company’s first Human Rights Policy at 2024 InterSolar Europe to address the respect and support for human rights in all its value-creating business activities.

To advance a green supply chain, LONGi has initiated the Supply Chain Green Partner Empowerment Program, partnering with collaborators to advance energy-saving and emission-reduction goals. It has also formulated the “2024-2028 Supplier ESG Capacity Building Plan” for wider sustainability.

Being selected for the yearbook and receiving this honor signifies that LONGi's many years of dedicated exploration and practice in the field of sustainable development have further gained recognition from the international capital market.
