Recently, S&P Global released the Sustainability Yearbook (China Edition) 2025, and LONGi was selected for its outstanding performance in environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) aspects. This is the third time that LONGi has been selected for S&P Global’s Sustainability Yearbook (China Edition), which is a recognition of LONGi’s work in the field of sustainable development.
The S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA), with a 26-year history, is a globally recognized ESG performance evaluation tool and database. CSA results are utilized in over 200 indices published by S&P Dow Jones Indices and serve as a key reference for hundreds of institutional investors managing assets worth $35 trillion worldwide. The annual CSA scores determine eligibility for inclusion in the following year’s Sustainability Yearbook. For the Sustainability Yearbook (China Edition) 2025, 164 Chinese companies were selected from over 1,600 assessed in the 2024 CSA.
In terms of ESG management, in 2024, LONGi deepened the company’s practices in environment, society, and governance (ESG), and achieved several sustainable development goals ahead of schedule. In the aspects of decarbonization path and resource efficiency, LONGi has also achieved significant results: the company’s annual green electricity usage proportion steadily increased to 47.5%, which is equivalent to a reduction of about 2.5467 million tons of carbon emissions, with a 37% decrease in scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions compared to 2023, and a 26% decrease in scope 3 carbon emissions compared to 2023; the electricity consumption per unit of each production unit has significantly decreased compared to 2020, achieving the set targets. In addition, several new breakthroughs have been made in environmental fields: the annual environmental protection investment reached 370 million yuan, with zero environmental violation incidents, and all operating bases achieved full coverage of ISO 14001 certification. Five production bases passed the clean production audit. Jiaxing factory, after obtaining the WEF Lighthouse Factory certification, also passed the “zero-carbon factory” certification. In 2024, LONGi’s silicon wafers, modules, and hydrogen energy products obtained 53 carbon footprint certification certificates globally, covering France, South Korea, and the international EPD system. These achievements not only demonstrate LONGi’s environmental responsibility, but also set a new benchmark for the green and low-carbon transformation of the global photovoltaic industry.
LONGi has always adhered to the vision of ‘making the best of solar energy to build a green world’, and is committed to creating affordable and accessible clean energy for the world. The company’s development strategy is integrated with the United Nations’ 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, and it is dedicated to achieving clean, renewable, and efficient energy utilization while working with numerous stakeholders to create a future where “everyone has access to affordable clean energy”.
