Huzhou, China, August 2021, the world’s leading PV manufacturer Zhejiang Beyondsun Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (“Beyondsun” or the “Company”) recently announced that it has officially joined the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), taking actions to practice the social responsibilities as a responsible renewable energy company and jointly promote the early realization of the United Nations sustainable development goals.
As a special initiative of the UN Secretary-General, the UN Global Compact was initiated and established in 2000 by the then UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan. It is the world’s highest and largest international organization for corporate social responsibility and sustainable development, with more than 10,000 members and more than 3,000 non-commercial signatories in more than 160 countries. The organization is committed to mobilizing member companies and stakeholders on a global scale, incorporating the ten principles of the Global Compact, including human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption, into strategy and operations, and promoting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).
“Joining the UNGC is an important action of Beyondsun to actively respond to the global sustainable development agenda. We are very proud that Beyondsun now can participate in the global influential corporate sustainable development initiative with companies from more than 160 countries.” Jane Dong, General Manager of Beyondsun, commented, “Beyondsun has been actively building the company’s environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) performance. As a global corporate citizen and a leading new energy solution provider, Beyondsun believes that the business community has the responsibility to participate in helping to solve some global problems with far-reaching socio-economic impact. We are convinced that this is a rare opportunity to integrate the goals of corporate sustainable development with the goals of UNGC and UN sustainability development.”
There are less than ten years to achieve the sustainable development goals of the United Nations 2030 Agenda. Renewable energy will be the key engine to promote the global decarbonization agenda. Beyondsun will continue to accelerate the technological innovation and development and application of the new energy industry, actively promote energy development and reform, accelerate the global decarbonization process, and contribute more corporate wisdom and professional strength to global sustainable development.
