LONGi selected on the 2025 FORTUNE China ESG Impact List
XIAN, China, May 28, 2025 /CNW/ -- On May 16, the FORTUNE China officially unveiled its ESG Impact list, with LONGi securing its place on the ranking once again for its outstanding practices in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) domains. This marks the third time that LONGi has been honored since the list's inception, further solidifying its global influence in sustainable development practices within the photovoltaic industry. In 2024, LONGi deepened its ESG practices and achieved multiple sustainability goals ahead of schedule, reflecting its relentless efforts to realize its vision of "affordable for all." In ESG ratings, the company saw its MSCI ESG rating upgraded to BBB in 2024, earning the highest key issue scores among global semiconductor companies listed on A+H shares and topping the photovoltaic sector. LONGi also became the first in its industry to receive the "Industry Top Movers" distinction from S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) and was included in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook (China Edition) 2025. Additional accolades—such as the EcoVadis Gold Medal (top 5% globally), CDP Water Security A- leadership rating, and a leading FTSE Russell ESG score of 3.8—underscore its benchmark status and industry leadership in ESG governance. As a clean energy innovator, LONGi places environmental responsibility at the core of its mission. In 2024, the company achieved significant progress in decarbonization and resource efficiency: its annual green electricity usage ratio rose to 47.5%, equivalent to reducing carbon emissions by approximately 2.5467 million metric tons. Its Jiaxing production base became the photovoltaic industry's first "Lighthouse + Zero-Carbon" factory. In green supply chain development, as the first in the industry to obtain ISO 20400 sustainable procurement certification, LONGi conducted ESG due diligence for 123 new suppliers and 136 qualified suppliers in 2024, performed on-site audits for 48 critical suppliers, and facilitated 23 suppliers in obtaining certifications or improving disclosures. To advance energy equity, LONGi partnered with the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) in 2023 to launch a three-year global collaboration (2024–2026) focused on green transformation in humanitarian supply chains through renewable energy solutions. In November 2024, LONGi completed its first milestone project under this partnership: a 700-kilowatt solar photovoltaic power station at the Termez Humanitarian Logistics Center in Uzbekistan. The facility is expected to generate approximately 989,933 kilowatt-hours of electricity annually while reducing carbon emissions by 495 metric tons per year. This project represents a critical step in providing sustainable energy for emergency logistics and storage, setting a green transition model for global humanitarian operations and demonstrating renewable energy's potential in crisis-response infrastructure. As a responsible company, LONGi is driven by its mission to 'making the best of solar energy to build a green world', striving to be a pioneer, practitioner, and leader in sustainable development within the clean energy sector. Looking ahead, LONGi will continue to advance its ESG practices, leveraging technological innovation and global expansion to accelerate the energy transition and contribute to building a zero-carbon future for our planet.

Sands and Sands China Listed Top the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook 2025 Casinos and Gaming Category
Las Vegas Sands Las Vegas Sands and Sands China were again included in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook, with the two companies recording the highest global environmental, social and governance (ESG) scores in the casinos and gaming category. Sands China was the highest-scoring company in the casinos and gaming category, ranking among the top 1% of S&P global ESG scores, while Sands received designation among the top 10% of overall S&P global ESG scores. Sands and Sands China were among only seven companies in the casinos and gaming industry included in the 2025 yearbook, with 41 companies assessed. Sands was the only U.S.-based company in the casinos and gaming category listed in the yearbook. The comprehensive annual overview of the state of corporate sustainability around the world is based on evaluation of ESG performance. More than 7,690 companies assessed for the 2024 Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) were considered for inclusion in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook 2025. Distinctions are calculated against the top-performing company in each industry, and exclusions applied thereafter. This year, only 780 companies made it into the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook. These designations for Sands and Sands China are the latest recognition from the world's leading reputational benchmarks that assess ESG performance. This past December, Sands was again recognized on the Dow Jones Sustainability™ Indices (DJSI), with placement on both DJSI World and DJSI North America for the fifth consecutive year. Sands China was named to DJSI World and DJSI Asia Pacific for the third consecutive year. Sands also was included in Newsweek's America's Most Responsible Companies 2025, ranking 60th out of 600 companies, and was highest among the 19 companies making the list in the hotels, dining and leisure industry. 'As we strive to push our performance forward each year, the stringent CSA assessment provides an important benchmark for the impact we are making in the areas we've prioritized,' Katarina Tesarova, senior vice president and chief sustainability officer, said. 'Recognition in the yearbook demonstrates our progress, yet we do not take inclusion for granted. We know we must continually advance to receive this important designation, and that is always our goal.' With the goal of achieving measured and ongoing ESG progress, Sands established 2021-2025 ambitions to invest $200 million in workforce development, contribute 250,000 volunteer hours to its communities and reduce carbon emissions by 17.5% by the end of the period, mapping to its People, Communities and Planet corporate responsibility pillars. Sands will report its progress on these targets in the 2024 Environmental, Social and Governance report, which will be released in spring 2025.
