SVTC's Solar Scorecard aims to improve PV manufacturers' environmental and social practices and promote improved environmental reporting in the industry. It enables commercial, government and residential purchasers of PV modules to make informed purchases and choose environmentally and socially responsible PV manufacturers.
In the 2013 Scorecard, Trina Solar ranked highly for its chemical reduction plan and low PV module toxicity, as well as its commitment to worker rights, health and safety. The Company was also recognized for its extended producer responsibilities and its efforts to collect and recycle end-of-life PV modules.
"We are very proud to have maintained our top ranking in this leading environmental survey," said Mr. Jifan Gao, Chairman and CEO of Trina Solar. "Trina Solar is deeply committed to its environmental and social responsibilities and we continue to integrate this philosophy across all of our operations and markets. We look forward to continuing to support the delivery of clean solar energy by truly green PV manufacturers."
