BERLIN, May 3, 2017 /CNW/ -- JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd.
("JinkoSolar" or the "Company") (NYSE: JKS), a global leader in the
Photovoltaic (PV) industry, today announced that as the only
Chinese company, it was invited to dialogue at The Business 20
(B20) Summit held in Berlin on
May 2-3, 2017.
More than 700 representatives from top companies and business
associations from all G20 countries and sectors participated in the
summit, striving to make the global economy more sustainable and
future-oriented. The themes of this year's G20 presidency are:
Building Resilience, Improving Sustainability, and Assuming
Responsibility.
As the co-chair of B20 ECRE taskforce, Ms. Dany Qian, Vice President of JinkoSolar,
together with Jurgen Heraeus, Chairman of B20, handed over B20
policy recommendations to the G20 president, German Chancellor
Angela Merkel, as part of an
official ceremony of B20 Summit 2017. Ms. Dany Qian was also exclusively invited to
dialogue with Chancellor in the afterwards roundtable meeting.
Ms. Dany Qian also attended the
panel "Towards a Future-Oriented Sustainable Economy: Energy,
Climate Change and Resource Efficiency" with IEA, BASF, Enel and
Continental. The B20 is convinced that a future-oriented,
sustainable, and competitive world economy can only be guaranteed
if businesses keep finding innovative solutions to curtail climate
change, foster the energy transition, and decrease resource
intensity. The G20 can achieve this by implementing the Paris
Agreement, accelerating the market readiness and deployment of
low-carbon technologies, and by establishing a Resource Efficiency
Platform.
Concerning how business can best contribute to the
implementation of the Paris Agreement, Vice president of
JinkoSolar, Ms. Dany Qian
emphasized: "Government laid out the essential goals in Paris
Agreement, but promise must be followed by action. The
implementation of the agreement relies largely on the involvement
and engagement of business community. The private sector plays a
much bigger and even more important role in the success of the
Paris agreement. Starting from
their own expertise and experience, companies can, for example,
steer their capital towards direct investment in clean energy
projects and low carbon, energy efficient technology and
businesses, the purchase and
increased use of renewable energy and becoming carbon neutral. A
few major companies are striving to run entirely on renewable
energy. They are doing so by reporting emissions and disclosing
climate change relevant data and information, adapting their
business model and supply chain to seize this energy transition
opportunity and create new jobs, internally pricing carbon,
complying and aligning with government climate and energy policy,
supporting the development of low carbon technology and science and
of course taking a responsible approach to lobbying on climate
action. "
As the world's largest solar company, JinkoSolar will need to assume leadership in the
transition to a future oriented sustainable economy by further
driving down the cost of solar power to make it more economically
viable to switch to renewable energy and more feasible to implement
the Paris Agreement.
