Aug. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- TÜV
Rheinland is one of the first testing companies to be approved to
assess manufacturers and suppliers in the photovoltaic (PV)
industry according to the ESG standards of the Solar Stewardship
Initiative (SSI). The Solar Stewardship Initiative is an internal
industry initiative with the aim of ensuring sustainability in the
photovoltaic supply chain. The ESG Standard developed by the SSI is
specifically tailored to the needs of the photovoltaic industry and
its customers.
The newly developed ESG Standard considers both international
standards and expertise from the PV industry. It assesses a
company's performance in the areas of governance, business ethics,
the environment and human & labour rights (environmental,
social, governance, ESG). Member companies of the SSI are obliged
to have two of their sites assessed in accordance with the ESG
Standard by an authorised body such as TÜV Rheinland within twelve
months.
"The aim of the ESG standard is to contribute to a more
responsible, transparent and sustainable solar value chain. We
are honored to be recognized as an Assessment Body by the Solar
Stewardship Initiative. This partnership aligns with our mission to
support sustainable development and innovation in the solar
industry. We look forward to contributing our expertise to drive
forward the goals of the SSI", says Frank
Dorssers, who is responsible for the global Customized
Services business at TÜV Rheinland.
