TCL SunPower Global, a leading provider of innovative solar energy solutions, today announced its membership in the Solar Stewardship Initiative (SSI), a global program dedicated to promoting transparency, responsibility, and sustainability throughout the solar industry’s value chain.
Joining the SSI reflects TCL SunPower Global’s commitment to advancing a fair and inclusive energy transition, while aligning with international ESG standards and aiming to strengthen transparency across its operations. The initiative supports the company’s long-term vision of ethical sourcing, responsible manufacturing, and continuous improvement.
As a newly joined member of the Solar Stewardship Initiative, TCL SunPower Global is committed to undergoing both ESG and Traceability Assessment within the next 12 months. This involves the independent assessment of at least two production sites by an SSI-approved Assessment Body, in accordance with the SSI ESG Standard. The assessment is conducted at the site level, covering all activities of the sites in scope, and evaluates transparency, ethical sourcing, and ESG performance across the solar value chain.
Demonstrated commitment to ESG standards is particularly crucial for industries like solar PV, which is the fastest-growing energy technology in the world. It offers a rapid pathway to decarbonisation while protecting citizens and businesses from volatile energy prices. TCL SunPower Global’s participation in the SSI reflects its dedication to driving meaningful change and building trust in how solar products are sourced and produced.
“Sustainability is not just a responsibility — it’s a strategic priority. Our participation in the SSI marks a significant step forward in our mission to lead with integrity, transparency, and purpose,” said Karin Alberto-Burkhardt, Product Director at TCL SunPower Global. “We are proud to join this initiative and contribute to shaping a solar industry that respects people, the communities, and the planet.”
Steven Zhang, CEO of TCL SunPower Global, added: “By joining the Solar Stewardship Initiative, we reaffirm our dedication to building a solar industry that is not only innovative and efficient, but also ethical and sustainable. We believe that collaboration across the value chain is essential to drive meaningful change and build trust in how solar products are sourced and produced.”
