On May 25, 2025, at the UN Global Compact (UNGC)’s Inaugural Global Business Summit in Jakarta, Xinyi Solar, as a leading enterprise in photovoltaic glass industry, has joined forces with 23 core suppliers in the photovoltaic industry, collectively released the initiative for “Global Solar Sustainable Alliance (GSSA)”.

 

Aligned with the UNGC Ten Principles and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Initiative outlines 9 actionable pathways across three pillars, advancing ESG progress across the solar value chain and promoting its positive impact on the international market.

 

 At this critical juncture of global energy transition, the solar industry, as a cornerstone of renewable energy, serves as a pivotal solution to combat climate change and achieve carbon neutrality goals. Amid rapid industry growth, leading enterprises have jointly launched this initiative to address social and environmental challenges and advance sustainable development. Committed to delivering clean energy globally, the Initiative aims to strengthen sustainability across the entire value chain — promoting green mineral sourcing from the source, protecting ecosystems and biodiversity, building an equitable society for common good, and driving inclusive growth.

 

The GSSA initiative has garnered strong endorsement from the UNGC. Meng Liu, UNGC China Representative, stated: “We commend the global solar industry, particularly Chinese photovoltaic enterprises, for their contributions to advancing the global energy transition, and we welcome the launch of this initiative. Closely aligned with the principles of the United Nations Global Compact, the Initiative underscores corporate responsibilities in environmental protection, human rights safeguards, and sound governance. We look forward to the solar industry setting an exemplary model for global sustainable development through collective action.”

 

UNGC encourages more solar companies and supply chain partners to join this initiative and jointly advance the sustainable development of the industry. To truly fulfill the summit’s vision of ‘Better Business, Better World: Accelerating the SDGs’, the first co-signatories pledge to collaboratively develop a concrete action roadmap with stakeholder engagement, to ensure effective implementation of the Initiative.

 

Relying on its advantages of technological accumulation and global layout in the field of photovoltaic materials, Xinyi Solar, one of the first co-signatories of GSSA, with the mission of "Leading green new energy", effectively resonates with the development of the company and sustainable goals of the industry, injects "China’s photovoltaics" green energy into the global energy transition with more efficient and greener product supply, and jointly writes a new chapter in the industry of " Better Business, Better World " with global partners.
