As the global energy landscape undergoes rapid transformation, sustainability has become more than a responsibility. Guided by its DASGREEN strategy, DAS Solar is charting a forward-looking roadmap for low-carbon development, integrating ESG principles into every dimension of its operations. This comprehensive framework spanning governance, manufacturing, product innovation, and social responsibility forms the company's system that aligns corporate growth with planetary health.
From its founding, DAS Solar has embedded ESG values into its corporate DNA. By strengthening governance frameworks, enhancing transparency, and managing risk responsibly, the company has established a resilient foundation for sustainable growth. This disciplined approach has enabled DAS Solar to maintain its global leadership in N-type PV technology and full-scenario solar solutions, earning BloombergNEF Tier 1 recognition and securing a position among the world's leading module suppliers. Each performance milestone reflects not only business excellence but also a long-term commitment to sustainable value creation.
Under the DASGREEN strategy, DAS Solar has established a full life-cycle green operation model covering design, manufacturing, and recycling. Its six production bases across Quzhou, Zhangzhou, Taizhou, and Xinzhou have all passed TÜV SÜD and ISO 14064 carbon verification, with multiple sites certified as Green Factory or Zero-Carbon Factories. Equipped with intelligent energy management systems, DAS Solar's facilities continuously optimize power consumption, while rooftop, carport, and idle-land PV installations—totaling nearly 56 MW—supply clean energy directly back into production lines. In 2024 alone, these systems generated over 95.6 million kWh of electricity, realizing the vision of solar manufacturing powered by solar.
DAS Solar's low-carbon commitment extends to product innovation. The company applies Design-for-Recycling (DFR) principles to develop eco-friendly module designs featuring steel and composite frames. These designs reduce carbon emissions by up to 80%, and lightweight modules enable 100% material recyclability, cutting product carbon footprints by 17.3% compared with conventional alternatives. Its proprietary physical recycling process ensures zero-pollution recovery, setting new industry standards. Globally, DAS Solar's delivered modules now save approximately 21 million tons of standard coal and reduce carbon emissions by nearly 58 million tons each year, equivalent to planting 386 million mature trees.
Sustainability also depends on transparency. DAS Solar has built a digital supply chain platform that enables traceability from raw materials to finished products, ensuring each module carries a unique "green identity". Its system integrates eight key material tracking mechanisms, six-level data penetration, and three core platforms to achieve end-to-end transparency. In 2024, the company invested CNY 37.6 million in environmental protection and achieved zero environmental violations, underscoring its dedication to compliance-driven growth.
Collaboration remains central to the DASGREEN vision. As the first PV manufacturer in China to obtain sustainable procurement certification, DAS Solar launched its Green Supply Chain Management Strategy and co-founded the Green Supply Chain Industry Alliance to promote low-carbon materials and eliminate high-pollution production capacity. The company has been consecutively listed by China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology as a Green Supply Chain Management Enterprise. Complementing this, DAS Solar maintains a comprehensive compliance management system that integrates anti-corruption, privacy protection, and supply chain transparency into its ESG framework, enhancing corporate resilience and global trust.
Beyond operations, DAS Solar actively fulfills its social responsibilities. In 2024, the company invested CNY 14.7 million in public welfare initiatives, delivered over 62,000 hours of employee training, and promoted workplace safety, diversity, and professional development. Its inclusive culture encourages participation from women, youth, and technical professionals, contributing to innovation across all levels. DAS Solar's commitment to ethical and sustainable management has been validated by its SA8000 Social Responsibility certification.
Recognition has followed. In 2024, DAS Solar received the EcoVadis Platinum Medal with a score of 84, ranking among the Top 7 Chinese enterprises and tying for first globally among PV manufacturers. The company was also named a Forbes China Sustainable Industrial Enterprise, and listed among the Bloomberg Green ESG 50 List. Together, these honors outline DAS Solar's achievement across the global sustainability landscape.
Looking ahead, DAS Solar remains firmly committed to its long-term goals of achieving carbon peaking across all production sites by 2030 and full carbon neutrality by 2050. By driving ESG excellence, technological innovation, and global collaboration, DAS Solar continues to advance a cleaner and more equitable energy future.
