May 30, 2025, 5:38 am
In a world grappling with climate change, LONGi stands tall. This solar technology giant is not just a player; it’s a leader. Recently, LONGi was honored on the 2025 FORTUNE China ESG Impact List and selected for S&P Global's Sustainability Yearbook (China Edition). These accolades highlight its commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices.
LONGi’s journey is a testament to innovation and responsibility. Founded in 2000, the company has evolved into a powerhouse in the photovoltaic sector. Its mission? To make solar energy accessible and affordable for all. This vision is not just a slogan; it’s a guiding principle that shapes every decision.
In 2024, LONGi deepened its ESG practices. The company achieved several sustainability goals ahead of schedule. Its MSCI ESG rating was upgraded to BBB, placing it among the top in the semiconductor industry. This recognition is not merely a feather in its cap; it reflects a commitment to excellence.
LONGi’s environmental responsibility is at the heart of its operations. In 2024, the company reported that its annual green electricity usage ratio reached 47.5%. This milestone translates to a reduction of approximately 2.5 million metric tons of carbon emissions. Imagine the impact: that’s like taking hundreds of thousands of cars off the road.
The Jiaxing production base is a shining example of LONGi’s commitment. It became the first "Lighthouse + Zero-Carbon" factory in the photovoltaic industry. This facility is not just a factory; it’s a model for what sustainable manufacturing can look like. It demonstrates that industry and ecology can coexist harmoniously.
LONGi’s commitment to sustainability extends beyond its own operations. The company is pioneering a green supply chain. It was the first in its industry to obtain ISO 20400 sustainable procurement certification. In 2024, LONGi conducted ESG due diligence for 123 new suppliers and 136 qualified suppliers. This proactive approach ensures that sustainability is woven into the fabric of its supply chain.
Partnerships amplify LONGi’s impact. In 2023, the company joined forces with the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR). Together, they launched a three-year global collaboration focused on green transformation in humanitarian supply chains. The first milestone? A 700-kilowatt solar photovoltaic power station at the Termez Humanitarian Logistics Center in Uzbekistan. This project is more than just numbers; it’s a lifeline. It’s expected to generate nearly 1 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, reducing carbon emissions by 495 metric tons each year.
LONGi’s vision aligns with the United Nations' 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. The company is dedicated to creating a future where everyone has access to affordable clean energy. This is not just a goal; it’s a necessity. As the world shifts towards renewable energy, LONGi is positioning itself as a leader in this transition.
The accolades keep coming. LONGi was recognized in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook (China Edition) for the third time. This selection is based on the company’s performance in the Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA). The CSA is a globally recognized evaluation tool, assessing over 1,600 companies. Being included in this yearbook is a badge of honor, showcasing LONGi’s dedication to sustainable practices.
In 2024, LONGi made significant strides in decarbonization. The company achieved a 37% decrease in scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions compared to 2023. Scope 3 emissions also saw a 26% reduction. These figures are not just statistics; they represent a commitment to a cleaner future.
LONGi’s environmental investments reached 370 million yuan in 2024. With zero environmental violation incidents, the company has set a high standard for others to follow. All operating bases achieved full coverage of ISO 14001 certification, ensuring that environmental management is a priority.
The company’s products are also leading the charge in sustainability. In 2024, LONGi’s silicon wafers, modules, and hydrogen energy products obtained 53 carbon footprint certification certificates globally. This achievement spans countries like France and South Korea, showcasing LONGi’s international reach and commitment to sustainability.
LONGi is not just about numbers; it’s about impact. The company’s mission of "making the best of solar energy to build a green world" resonates deeply. It’s a promise to future generations. As LONGi continues to innovate and expand, it remains focused on accelerating the energy transition.
The road ahead is filled with challenges, but LONGi is ready. With technological innovation and a commitment to sustainability, the company is poised to lead the charge towards a zero-carbon future. In a world where every action counts, LONGi is a beacon of hope. It’s a reminder that with determination and vision, a sustainable future is within reach.
As we look to the future, LONGi’s journey serves as an inspiration. It’s a call to action for companies everywhere. Sustainability is not just an option; it’s a necessity. And LONGi is proving that it can be done. The sun is shining, and LONGi is harnessing its power for a better tomorrow.
