SHANGHAI, Dec. 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- JinkoSolar Holding
Co., Ltd. ("JinkoSolar"), a global leader in the photovoltaic (PV)
industry, today announced it is a 2016-17 Leader in Silicon Valley
Toxics Coalition's ("SVTC") Solar Scorecard, a system which ensures
that the PV sector is safe for the environment, workers, and
communities. JinkoSolar is in the top 5 of 35 manufacturers
assessed.
The SVTC Solar Scorecard is a resource for consumers,
institutional purchasers, investors, developers, and anyone who
wants to purchase PV modules from responsible product
stewards. The PV industry's continued growth makes it
critical to take action to reduce the use of toxic chemicals,
develop responsible recycling systems, and protect workers
throughout the global PV supply chain.
JinkoSolar received full marks on commitment to worker rights,
health, and safety, enforceable commitment from suppliers to
protect workers and the environment, and a reduction of toxic
materials in modules. The company was also recognized for its
extended producer responsibility, emissions reporting, and
reduction in water usage.
"We are proud to be a 2016-17 Leader in SVTC's Solar Scorecard,"
said Nigel Cockroft, General Manager
of JinkoSolar (U.S.) Inc. "We work hard to ensure that
JinkoSolar modules, which are powering a more sustainable planet,
are themselves manufactured cleanly and efficiently."
"We are pleased with JinkoSolar's participation in the 2016-17
Solar Scorecard and its commitment to transparency," said
Sheila Davis, Executive Director of
SVTC. "Consumers and corporations have choices when they purchase
solar, and we hope the Solar Scorecard can help them choose
companies, such as JinkoSolar, who are dedicated to sharing
information about their environmentally sustainable manufacturing
programs and practices.
