Solar Stewardship Initiative Silver Medal for JA SOLAR
Attaining the SSI Silver Certification is a major milestone for JA SOLAR.
JA SOLAR’s Country Manager for the UK and Ireland, Alastair Mounsey, said:
“Years in the making, SSI delivers on its original goal: a clear, objective ESG benchmark supported by a strict (indeed it really is stringent) factory-level audit. A valuable tool for buyers to assess sustainability with confidence.” Said Alastair on being given the accolade.
Two manufacturing bases have earned the award validating the company’s efforts to integrate sustainable practices and supply chain resilience.
The SSI
The Solar Stewardship Initiative (SSI) is an organisation founded by SolarPower Europe and Solar Energy UK. It aims to advance sustainability and traceability across the solar PV supply chain. It has become the industry benchmark. Their work reflects the collective efforts of the industry to drive sustainability in the sector.
“Sustainability is at the core of JA Solar’s operations, and this recognition is a testament to our long-standing commitment,” said Aiqing Yang, Executive President of JA Solar. “As a long-time supporter of SSI, we have been deeply involved in shaping industry-wide sustainability standards.
