LONGi Shines Again on the 2025 FORTUNE China ESG Impact List Amid Sustainability Efforts
On May 16, 2025, the FORTUNE China proudly presented its ESG Impact list, and once again, LONGi has established its presence among the top contenders in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) parameters. This accolade, marking the third time LONGi has been recognized since the list's initiation, underscores the company's persistent commitment to sustainability in the photovoltaic sector.
In the preceding year, 2024, LONGi intensified its ESG initiatives, accomplishing numerous sustainability objectives earlier than planned, which highlights its vigorous determination to champion the vision of 'affordable energy for all.' The company experienced an elevation in its MSCI ESG rating to BBB in 2024, which positioned it at the forefront of semiconductor enterprises listed on A+H shares and distinguished it within the photovoltaic landscape. Additionally, it was the inaugural recipient of the 'Industry Top Movers' title from the SP Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) and found a place in the SP Global Sustainability Yearbook (China Edition) 2025. Achievements such as the EcoVadis Gold Medal (awarded to the top 5% globally), a CDP Water Security A- leadership rating, and a leading FTSE Russell ESG score of 3.8 further authenticate LONGi’s benchmark status and role as a trailblazer in ESG governance.
LONGi's commitment to environmental responsibility rests at the heart of its mission. In 2024, it set notable benchmarks in decarbonization and resource efficiency, with its annual green electricity usage ratio soaring to 47.5%. This progressive movement equates to a reduction of approximately 2.5467 million metric tons in carbon emissions. Notably, its Jiaxing production facility achieved the distinction of being the photovoltaic industry’s first 'Lighthouse + Zero-Carbon' factory. Furthermore, LONGi emerged as the first entity in the industry to secure ISO 20400 sustainable procurement certification, conducting ESG due diligence on 123 new suppliers and 136 qualified suppliers throughout 2024. They performed on-site audits on 48 critical suppliers, facilitating 23 suppliers in obtaining certifications or enhancing their disclosures.
To foster energy equity, LONGi initiated a partnership with the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) in 2023, launching a three-year global collaboration aimed at green transformation within humanitarian supply chains through renewable energy solutions. In November 2024, LONGi marked a significant milestone by completing its first project under this collaboration—a 700-kilowatt solar photovoltaic power station at the Termez Humanitarian Logistics Center in Uzbekistan. This facility is anticipated to generate around 989,933 kilowatt-hours of electricity annually while simultaneously lowering carbon emissions by 495 metric tons per year. This initiative stands as a pivotal stride towards providing sustainable energy for emergency logistics and storage, showcasing a green transition model for global humanitarian operations while illustrating the vital role of renewable energy in crisis-response infrastructures.
As a forward-thinking organization, LONGi is animated by its mission of 'making the best of solar energy to build a green world.' The company aspires to serve as a pioneer, an active practitioner, and a leading force in sustainable development within the clean energy sector. Looking ahead, LONGi is devoted to further advancing its ESG initiatives, utilizing technological innovations and global outreach to enhance energy transitions, ultimately contributing to a net-zero future for our planet.
Founded in 2000, LONGi is on a mission to be the leading solar technology company globally. The company concentrates on customer-oriented value creation for a comprehensive energy transformation. With its guiding motto of 'making the best of solar energy to build a green world,' LONGi has been dedicated to technological innovations and has set up five business divisions across mono silicon wafers, cells, and modules, commercial and industrial distributed solar solutions, green energy offerings, and hydrogen equipment.
