JinkoSolar, the world’s leading solar and storage company, was recently named an ESG Innovator 2023 by Forbes China in recognition of its differentiated strengths in ESG innovation and outstanding contributions to regional and global challenges.
JinkoSolar has always been committed to social responsibility and has been active in promoting the reduction of global carbon emissions and addressing climate change practically and effectively. As early as September 2019, JinkoSolar announced that it had joined the RE100 Green Initiative, becoming the first solar company in the world to join RE100 committing to use 100% renewable energy by 2028, and becoming a member of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) in 2021, which is a global standard for systematically formulating the company's long-term ESG strategy direction. JinkoSolar is committed to achieving 100% renewable energy use by 2028.
To promote the application of renewable energy in the market, the company has made use of the production capacity advantage formed by the globalization layout of "local produce local sale" for many years and has applied high-efficiency photovoltaic module products to more than 3,000 customers in more than 180 countries and regions around the world, and has been ranked as the No.1 of the global module shipments for many years.

In the foreseeable future, the PV industry, as one of the cornerstones of the renewable energy industry, will continue to influence the trend of decarbonization and zero-carbonization of China's and the world's energy systems due to its huge potential for commercial demand, and renewable energy companies will be subject to more social attention and discussion because of the expectations they have received. JinkoSolar will continue to proactively lead the construction of ESG, promote the high-quality development of the industry openly and inclusively, and contribute to the green and low-carbon development of the industry chain.
