Trina Solar has shared that it has received a Bloomberg Green ESG-Enterprises award as part of the Bloomberg Green ESG 50 list. This achievement highlighted both its efforts to promote sustainable development and its leadership in the photovoltaic industry.
Trina Solar shared that the process by which it was selected involved drawing on data from the Bloomberg ESG Index and the advice of global experts, with Bloomberg Green conducting a six-month evaluation and selecting 50 top companies.
The company, led by the mission of “solar energy for all”, shared that it promotes sustainable management throughout its solar modules’ entire lifecycle.
In collaboration with its supply chain partners, it noted that it tracks and recycles packaging materials, achieving an 80 per cent recovery rate in 2022.
It is also the first company in the PV industry to receive mutual recognition from both UL (Underwriters Laboratories) and EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) Italy.
Further, it shared that in 2022, its full range of Vertex modules received Carbon Footprint Certification and Life Cycle Assessment Certification from TÜV Rheinland.
Recently, Trina Solar’s Vertex N 700W, which has an industry-leading Global Warming Potential of 13.2g CO2 eq/kWh, Vertex N 610W and Vertex 670W, also obtained EPD certifications from UL Solutions and gained registered EPD Italy certification.
By the third quarter of 2023, its cumulative shipments of PV modules exceeded 170 GW, equivalent to planting 12.5 billion trees worldwide.
