JinkoSolar achieves an impressive ESG score of 69, ranking first among the top five PV module manufacturers. This achievement underscores the company’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 companies’ information disclosure and performance across three dimensions—environmental, social, and governance—the CSA reflects corporate sustainability performance, enabling investors and stakeholders to assess companies’ sustainable development capabilities and risks.

Through green manufacturing, industry-wide carbon reduction strategies, and enhanced intelligent control, the company has emerged as a leader in sustainable operations.

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 “wafer-cell-module” zero-carbon factory and receive TÜV Rheinland’s “Zero-Carbon Factory” certification, JinkoSolar also pioneered the launch of the Neo Green module, manufactured entirely with renewable energy. By the end of 2024, JinkoSolar’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. Not only does it excel in technological innovation, but it also promotes the development of the green economy by optimizing energy structures and improving energy efficiency.
