Jinko Solar-Supply Chain Management

Supporting Suppliers Emission Reduction

We have established a supply chain ESG management system based on the "CARE" framework and have extended this framework to suppliers' GHG reduction actions. We help our suppliers make substantial progress in reducing emission based on four aspects: setting emission reduction targets, evaluating emission data, implementing emission reduction management, and co-developing emission reduction capacity. By the end of 2023, core suppliers of 3 key categories had completed their emission reduction path planning.

Supplier Emission Reduction Strategies Based on the "CARE" Framework

COMMIT

Setting Emission Reduction Targets

We have set Scope 3 emission reduction targets. Accordingly, we have researched and formulated short-, medium- and long-term supply chain emission reduction strategies, which have been translated into references for suppliers' emission reduction actions. In addition, we conduct emission reduction education to our suppliers, elaborating the impact of emission reduction on reducing operating costs and increasing partnership opportunities and encourage suppliers to set emission reduction targets that align with their circumstances.

ASSESS

Evaluating Emission Data

We have invited core suppliers to conduct environmental self-assessment and calculate the carbon footprint of their products. By the end of 2023, core suppliers of 6 key categories had initiated product lifecycle assessments. Since 2022, we have conducted annual GHG accounting among suppliers. In 2023, we have collected the emission data from a total of 73 suppliers.

RESPOND

Implementing Emission Reduction Management

We have conducted on-site surveys and pilot emission reduction projects with suppliers. Additionally, we have discussed emission reduction measures with suppliers, including energy-saving technological renovation, green energy usage, and optimization of intelligent operation and maintenance. In 2023, we have conducted emission reduction surveys with 12 suppliers of key categories. By the end of 2023, core supplie

ENGAGE

CO-Developing Emission Reduction Capacity

Leveraging our advantages in the PV industry, we have cooperated with suppliers to construct PV systems, providing suppliers with clean energy generated by these systems to further enhance their emission reduction capabilities and promote the progress of decarbonization. By the end of 2023, we had developed collaborations on PV systems construction with some of our core suppliers.
