JA Solar has hosted a delegation from the Beijing Office of the IFRS Foundation for high-level discussions aimed at advancing sustainability reporting across the PV sector. The dialogue focused on disclosure related challenges, emerging opportunities and alignment with globally recognized reporting frameworks.
This engagement reflects JA Solar’s ongoing efforts to integrate international best practices into its sustainability governance, thus reinforcing transparency, building trust and delivering long-term value to stakeholders across its global operations.
The ISSB is an independent standard-setting body within the IFRS Foundation, developing IFRS sustainability disclosure standards to enhance investor-company dialogue, so that investors receive decision-useful, globally comparable sustainability-related disclosures that meet their information needs.
During the meeting, the parties held in-depth discussions on evolving regulatory expectations, corporate oversight of climate-related risks and opportunities, and approaches to financial quantification of environmental impacts, with the IFRS delegation offering insights to JA Solar’s Board on climate change and sustainability-related financial information.
For its part, JA Solar showcased its latest initiatives, including adoption of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) framework. In partnership with Standard & Poors, the company conducted a scenario-based climate risk assessment, culminating in the release of its first TCFD Report at COP29. The company also became the first in the industry to publish a report aligned with the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), advancing disclosure around nature-related risks.
“Sustainability is a core principle guiding our development,” commented Executive President Aiqing Yang. “Direct engagement with leading international standard-setting bodies such as the ISSB enables us to benchmark against global best practices and reinforces our role as a responsible, forward-looking company. We believe that transparent and credible disclosure is essential to building global trust and driving long-term sustainable growth.”
