The Chinese state-run financial newspaper Securities Times has included LONGi in its listing of top ESG A-share companies, based on its performance in the three key areas of environment, social and governance. 

ESG is a strategy and practice integrating environmental, social and governance related considerations into investment decisions and active ownership and has become widely accepted by the domestic financial market, with stock-listed companies important players. 

Securities Times adopts a hundred-point evaluation system in order to identify ESG levels across different regions of China.  From the perspective of listed organisations, LONGi is the only solar technology company selected from China’s A-share market.

As a world leading solar manufacturer, LONGi attaches great importance to its ESG-related work. The company advocates the sustainable development concept of manufacturing photovoltaic products driven by photovoltaic power generation to achieve zero carbon emissions across the entire industry chain and combine clean energy with a substantial reduction in the cost of photovoltaic power generation and product manufacturing.

In 2020, LONGi successively joined RE100, EV100, EP100 and the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi), becoming the only Chinese company to join all four international initiatives at the same time. Since the beginning of this year, LONGi has launched the “Green Supply Chain Carbon Reduction Initiative”, announced its first “Net-zero Plant” pledge at the UN biodiversity conference (COP15) in Yunnan, and released the company’s first white paper on Climate Action at the COP26 summit. 

Looking forward, LONGi will continue to fulfil its social responsibility commitments, follow the path of green development, and contribute more to the ESG investment philosophy, while simultaneously promoting the development of the photovoltaic industry.

中国国有财经报纸《证券时报》根据隆基在环境、社会和治理三个关键领域的表现，将隆基纳入其顶级ESG A股公司名单。

ESG可持续投资是一种整合环境、社会责任和公司治理三个维度的投资实践，其内涵高度契合我国经济和资本市场高质量发展要求，近年受到国内金融业界的高度关注和广泛认可。其中，上市公司是践行ESG的重要主体。

《证券时报》采用了百分制的评价体系，以识别中国不同地区的ESG水平。从上市机构的角度来看，隆基是唯一一家入选中国A股市场的太阳能科技公司。

作为全球领先的太阳能制造商，隆基非常重视其ESG相关工作。公司倡导以光伏发电为驱动制造光伏产品的可持续发展理念，实现全产业链零碳排放，将清洁能源与光伏发电及产品制造成本大幅降低相结合。

2020年，隆基先后加入RE100、EV100、EP100和科学目标倡议（SBTI），成为唯一一家同时加入四项国际倡议的中国企业。今年以来，隆基又相继发起了《绿色供应链减碳倡议》，在云南联合国生物多样性大会（COP15）上首次宣布“净零工厂”承诺，并在COP26峰会上发布了公司首份气候行动白皮书。

未来，隆基将继续践行社会责任，坚定走绿色发展之路，为履行ESG理念及推动光伏产业发展贡献更多力量。
