Trina Solar Limited (NYSE: TSL), a integrated manufacturer of solar photovoltaic products from the production of ingots, wafers and cells to the assembly of PV modules, announced that it has been ranked No. 2 globally for environmental and social performance in the 2011 Solar Company Scorecard, an award system established by the Silicon Valley Toxics Coalition ("SVTC").
SVTC recently released its 2011 solar company scorecard, which ranked companies on the basis of their sustainability, environmental protection standards and contributions to promote social justice. Scores were based on surveys covering areas such as extended producer responsibility and takeback, supply chain monitoring and green jobs and chemical-use and life cycle analysis and disclosure.
"Environment protection and occupational health and safety is at the core of Trina Solar's ethical business principles," said Mr. Jifan Gao, Chairman and CEO of Trina Solar. "To be ranked so highly in this leading environmental survey demonstrates our commitment and direction to the sustainable development of our company."
