DAS Solar Awarded the EcoVadis Platinum Rating forExceptional ESG Performance

Quzhou, Aug. 20, 2025 - DAS Solar, a leader in N-type PV technology, stood out in the 2025 EcoVadis sustainability ratings and was awarded the prestigious Platinum rating. With a remarkable score of 84, the company has advanced from its previous Silver rating, placing it among the top 1% of over 130,000 rated companies with the highest score in global PV industry.

This significant leap not only reflects DAS Solar's deep integration of ESG principles across its operations but also affirms its leadership in driving high-quality, sustainable development within the global renewable energy sector.

EcoVadis evaluates companies across four core pillars—Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. Its stringent standards make the Platinum rating a globally recognized benchmark for corporate sustainability. DAS Solar's achievement comes as the result of a comprehensive and systematic ESG strategy that has delivered outstanding improvements across all four areas.

A Closed-Loop Compliance System for Ethical Governance

In the Ethics category, DAS Solar scored 84 points, driven by its implementation of a full-value-chain compliance system. The company has embedded anti-corruption, data privacy, and supply chain transparency into its governance framework. With the integration of digital tools, DAS Solar now performs real-time risk monitoring, ensuring systematic, closed-loop ESG governance. These robust measures have not only strengthened internal risk controls but also earned the trust of global partners, supporting the company's international expansion goals.

Championing Sustainable Procurement to Drive Industry Transformation

In Sustainable Procurement, DAS Solar achieved a score of 81, underlining its role as an industry pioneer. As the first PV company to be certified under ISO 20400 for sustainable procurement, DAS Solar has published its Green Supply Chain Strategy, outlining clear goals and implementation paths. From sourcing eco-friendly materials to initiating cross-industry green alliances, the company has consistently promoted responsible procurement practices. These efforts have earned it repeated recognition by China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) as a national model for green supply chain management.

Low-Carbon Manufacturing Anchored in the DASGREEN Strategy

In the Environment category, the company reached 85 points, reflecting the strength of its low-carbon manufacturing and lifecycle sustainability practices under the “DASGREEN” strategy. DAS Solar has implemented carbon footprint tracking and circular production systems across its six manufacturing hubs in Quzhou, Taizhou, Zhangzhou, Xinzhou, Jingshan, and Bengbu. All six facilities have completed third-party carbon verification by TÜV SÜD and received ISO 14064 GHG declarations, with the Quzhou and Zhangzhou plants officially certified as Zero-Carbon Factories. These milestones showcase DAS Solar's leadership in delivering climate-conscious manufacturing.

Empowering People, Embracing Diversity

In the Labor & Human Rights category, DAS Solar also scored 84, reflecting its strong commitment to employee development and inclusive workplace practices. The company recorded over 62,000 hours of training in 2024 alone, spanning areas such as safety, career development, and leadership skills. DAS Solar actively promotes diversity by encouraging women, youth, and technical talent to participate in company decision-making, fostering an agile and resilient organizational culture where talent is central to long-term growth.

As the global push toward carbon neutrality accelerates, competitive advantage in the PV sector is shifting from product-level differentiation to full value chain sustainability. EcoVadis Platinum rating has increasingly become a key benchmark for global clients when selecting suppliers. For DAS Solar, this recognition not only strengthens its credentials in premium markets such as Europe and Asia-Pacific but also reinforces its position as a trusted partner on the global stage.

Looking ahead, DAS Solar will continue to elevate its sustainability practices, contributing to the global clean transition with a responsible, efficient, and innovation-driven approach. By setting a new benchmark for ESG performance in the solar industry, the company is paving the way for a future where responsibility is the cornerstone of business success.
