  • Recently, S&P Global released the latest Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) results.
  • JinkoSolar achieves an impressive ESG score of 69, ranking first among the top five PV module manufacturers.
  • This achievement underscores the companyโ€™s outstanding performance in climate strategy and product management, reflecting its unwavering commitment to green innovation and sustainable development.

The S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) is one of the most authoritative and extensive ESG ratings globally and serves as a key tool for mainstream investment decisions in international markets. By quantifying companiesโ€™ information disclosure and performance across three dimensionsโ€”environmental, social, and governanceโ€”the CSA reflects corporate sustainability performance, enabling investors and stakeholders to assess companiesโ€™ sustainable development capabilities and risks.

As the first solar company to join the RE100 and EP100 global green initiatives, JinkoSolar has been pioneering a governance model that integrates digital tools to manage climate risks effectively. Through green manufacturing, industry-wide carbon reduction strategies, and enhanced intelligent control, the company has emerged as a leader in sustainable operations. By Q3 2024, JinkoSolar achieved a record 53.3% renewable energy usage, the highest among PV manufacturers globally.

Moreover, JinkoSolar is committed to providing clean, safe, economical, and smart energy to the world through its innovative technologies and products, offering economically viable solutions to combat global climate change. As the first company in the industry to achieve a fully integrated โ€œwafer-cell-moduleโ€ zero-carbon factory and receive TรœV Rheinlandโ€™s โ€œZero-Carbon Factoryโ€ certification, JinkoSolar also pioneered the launch of the Neo Green module, manufactured entirely with renewable energy. By the end of 2024, JinkoSolarโ€™s cumulative module shipments are estimated at approximately 300 GW, equivalent to a reduction of 13.986 billion tons of carbon emissions.

In its mission to tackle global climate challenges and accelerate the energy transition, JinkoSolar actively brings diverse products and services to the global market.ย Not only does it excel in technological innovation, but it also promotes the development of the green economy by optimising energy structures and improving energy efficiency. The company is dedicated to working with stakeholders to drive zero-carbon development worldwide, contributing to a more sustainable future.
