Recently, S&P Global has officially released the Sustainability Yearbook 2026. Ranking in the top 4% of the "Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment" industry, LONGi was honored in the Yearbook based on its outstanding performance in the 2025 S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA), and recognized as "Industry Mover" in "Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment" industry for achieving the highest relative year on year CSA Score improvement. This recognition marks LONGi as a global leader in deepening its sustainability strategy, driving systematic implementation, and enhancing the quality of its sustainability disclosures.
The S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook 2026 (the "Yearbook") recognizes companies that have demonstrated outstanding ESG performance in the 2025 S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA). In 2025, over 9,200 eligible companies were assessed globally, and 848 companies were qualified as Yearbook Members, including 81 Chinese companies, with 15 receiving the "Industry Mover" distinction. In the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment industry, a total of 289 companies were assessed, and only 20 were included for the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook 2026. LONGi stands out as the company that meets both criteria—achieving a high score and demonstrating significant year-on-year improvement—through its consistent sustainability practices and disclosure.
This achievement stems from LONGi's steadfast commitment to sustainable development. Guided by the Board of Directors and Strategy and Sustainability Committee as the highest governance body, the company continues to deepen its practices across the five pillars of its “LIGHT” sustainability philosophy: Lead, Innovative, Green, Harmonious, and Trustworthy. Based on the S&P Global CSA report, the score is most heavily weighted to Environmental and Governance & Economic Dimension.
The most material drivers by weight are "Climate Strategy," "Waste & Pollutants," and "Biodiversity".
Regarding environmental impact, LONGi conducts environmental impact assessments before initiating all projects, systematically analyze, assess, and manage the environmental impacts during project operations, and adopt effective measures to control pollutant emissions. To reduce the waste generated during production and operations, LONGi focuses on source management and encourages the compliant and comprehensive use of solid waste to advance sustainable production and operations.
In terms of sustainability disclosure, LONGi released its “2024–2025 Climate Action White Paper”, comprehensively aligned with the International Transition Plan Task Force Disclosure Framework and the IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures standard, systematically outlining the strategic ambition and implementation pathway to "achieve net-zero emissions across the entire value chain by 2050". In addition, LONGi has become the Adopter of Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) Adopter in 2025 and released its first TNFD report with long-term goals of achieving "Net Zero Loss" of biodiversity and "Zero Deforestation" by 2050.
Sustainability has become a crucial yardstick for measuring long-term corporate value. Being included for the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook 2026 is both a recognition of LONGi's sustainability practices over the past year and an expectation for the company's consistent improvement. LONGi will continue to enhance its sustainability practices and digital ESG management, deeply embedding sustainability into R&D innovation, smart manufacturing, and global supply chain management. By providing transparent sustainability disclosures, LONGi aims to respond to the diverse expectations of global stakeholders and co-create a sustainable future.
