Press Release
Sinovoltaics, the Dutch-German technical compliance and quality assurance firm specialising in solar PV and battery energy storage systems (BESS), announces the successful completion of SSI ESG certification at two JA Solar manufacturing sites in China, in partnership with the Solar Stewardship Initiative (SSI).
Both factories achieved Silver status, validating JA Solar’s efforts toward sustainable, transparent, and responsible solar production.
As sustainability standards tighten across the solar industry, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) audits have become a critical metric for evaluating supplier reliability and risk.
JA Solar, one of the world’s leading solar module manufacturers, engaged Sinovoltaics and SSI to conduct thorough, independent ESG assessments—covering areas such as governance and business ethics, environmental sustainability, and the protection of human and labour rights.
“Achieving Silver ESG certification is a strong endorsement of the standards upheld by JA Solar,” said David Li, General Manager at Sinovoltaics.
“Our collaboration as official Assessment Body (AB) with SSI demonstrates the value of independent ESG verification and strengthens confidence across the global renewable energy supply chain. We’re proud to support JA Solar and other manufacturers in aligning their operations with the highest international sustainability benchmarks.”
The audits were conducted using SSI’s proprietary methodology, which was aligned with leading international ESG frameworks.
The assessment included on-site audit, document reviews, stakeholder interviews, and transparency evaluations, ensuring a robust and independent verification process.
JA Solar’s achievement comes amid growing pressure across the solar supply chain to meet stricter ESG expectations from developers, investors, and regulators.
As countries roll out green energy incentives and compliance mechanisms, such certifications are increasingly essential for global project eligibility.
Sinovoltaics’ ESG audit services form part of a broader portfolio that includes quality inspections, factory audits, and traceability programs.
The company’s presence in key manufacturing hubs – including China, Vietnam, Türkiye, and India – enables it to conduct audits efficiently and impartially across global supply chains.
