Caring for the earth and future generations is an important and undisputable part of Jinko Solar’s corporate social responsibility. In 2017, in addition to continuing its existing plans and projects, JinkoSolar has combined the company’s resources with its employees’ love and wisdom to work together, show compassion, bring warmth and care. Funding for our social impact activities is aligned with our strategic focus areas of education and supporting local community needs. Strategic giving includes charitable giving (cash and in-kind ) as well as other investments, such as programs that empower employee giving and service, and adoption of solar energy to create positive impact. We also collaborate with other organizations, leveraging additional giving and resources to further scale our initiatives.
In 2019, jinkosolar joined the RE100 and EP100 green initiatives. These global campaigns are led by The Climate Group, an international non-profit organization working closely with powerful business networks and governments to bring innovative solutions to scale.
The RE100 initiative brings together the world’s most influential companies committed to 100% renewable power, such as Apple, Google, Facebook, IKEA, Coca-Cola and more . To reach this global climate goal and drive a low carbon economy, each company has committed to source 100% of the electricity used across their global operations from renewable sources. The EP100 initiative brings together a growing group of energy-smart companies committed to doing more with less.
