LONGi’s sustainability governance is overseen by its Board of Directors and the Strategy and Sustainability Committee. The company’s sustainability framework is guided by its LIGHT philosophy, which stands for Lead, Innovative, Green, Harmonious and Trustworthy. The model underpins its approach to systematic ESG implementation and disclosure.
On environmental management, LONGi conducts environmental impact assessments before initiating all projects. The company applies structured processes to analyse, assess and manage environmental impacts during operations, while implementing controls to reduce pollutant emissions. To minimise waste generated in production, LONGi prioritises source management and promotes compliant and comprehensive utilisation of solid waste.
In terms of disclosure, LONGi published its 2024 to 2025 Climate Action White Paper, aligned with the International Transition Plan Taskforce Disclosure Framework and the IFRS S2 Climate related Disclosures standard. The report outlines the company’s pathway to achieve net zero emissions across its entire value chain by 2050.
In 2025, LONGi also became an adopter of the Taskforce on Nature related Financial Disclosures and released its first TNFD report. The company has set long term targets of achieving Net Zero Loss of biodiversity and Zero Deforestation by 2050.
Inclusion in the Sustainability Yearbook 2026 reflects growing investor and stakeholder emphasis on measurable ESG performance and transparent reporting. LONGi stated that it will continue strengthening its sustainability practices and digital ESG management systems, embedding sustainability into research and development, smart manufacturing and global supply chain operations.
The company aims to enhance transparency and respond to evolving stakeholder expectations as sustainability becomes an increasingly critical benchmark of long term corporate value.
