On August 23, Fortune, a well-known business magazine, compiled and officially released the 2022 Fortune China ESG Influence List for the first time. GCL Technology and other 40 Chinese companies made the list.

It is understood that the 2022 "Fortune" China ESG Influence List is the first China ESG Influence List released by "Fortune" magazine. A business that leads the world back to safety and prosperity.

Fortune China believes: "GCL focuses on clean technology opportunities. In 2021, R&D investment will reach 1.041 billion yuan. The silicon material produced in that year can be used in the construction and operation of photovoltaic power plants to achieve carbon emission reduction of 44.67 million tons. Cycle calculation, the cumulative carbon emission reduction can exceed 1.1 billion tons. GCL Technology has independent intellectual property rights in the new generation of silicon-based material - silane fluidized bed method granular silicon, and the carbon footprint value of every kilogram of granular silicon produced is only 37 Kilogram of carbon dioxide equivalent, a new record in the world. GCL Technology has not had any incidents requiring recalls for safety and health reasons in the products sold or shipped in 2021.”

The current ESG (Company's Environmental, Social and Governance Responsibility) concept is forming a standard and consensus around the world, and it has become an important criterion for measuring whether a company has sufficient social responsibility and sustainable development capabilities.

In the past year, a series of problems such as the epidemic, climate ecology, and energy shortage have continued to impact the entire society. GCL Technology has always integrated the concept of green development into the whole process of production management. Through the continuous innovation of low-carbon silicon-based new material FBR granular silicon , to promote the deep carbon control and emission reduction of the photovoltaic industry, and help the "double carbon" goal to be realized as soon as possible.

GCL Technology will continue to move towards the goal of "carbon neutrality", and let the practice of ESG "gradually evolve into a warm value pursuit for investors and enterprises", and become a benchmark enterprise of green and clean energy.
