Chinese solar manufacturing major Trinasolar has received supply chain traceability certifications from the Solar Stewardship Initiative (SSI) for two of its manufacturing facilities in China.
Two module production facilities in China have been awarded the first Supply Traceability Standard certifications by Europe’s Solar Stewardship Initiative (SSI).
The Solar Stewardship Initiative (SSI) and the Copper Mark have signed an agreement to pursue “responsible production and sourcing of copper across the solar energy value chain”.
The new ESG standard is based on existing international standards. For companies active in the solar value chain, the new standard creates a “one-stop-shop to independently validate ESG commitment at production sites”.
