CHANGZHOU, China, Jan. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Trina Solar
Limited (NYSE: TSL) ("Trina Solar"
or the "Company"), a global leader in photovoltaic ("PV") modules,
solutions and services, is pleased to announce that its Chairman
and CEO, Mr. Jifan Gao, has become a
founding member of the Private Sector Advisory Board (the "Advisory
Board") for the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in
China, which was launched on
Jan. 12, 2016 in
Beijing.
The Advisory Board aims to bring together some of China's most influential business minds across
industries to collaborate, provide insights, and mobilize resources
to assist and promote the universally agreed Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs). Mr. Jifan
Gao attended the inaugural ceremony and signed a Statement
of Commitment with other founding Members.
Trina Solar, as the world's
largest solar module manufacturer and a first-class solar project
developer and operator, has been committed to reducing the costs of
solar manufacturing and power generation while simultaneously
improving the quality of solar products and projects, contributing
to enhance the proportion of solar energy in the global energy mix
and lowering overall carbon emissions. With over 15 GW of
cumulative module shipments as of the third quarter of 2015,
Trina Solar's superior-quality
modules have been installed in various solar plants across the
globe, which could reduce approximately 18 million tons of carbon
dioxide emissions per year, equivalent to planting about 13.3
billion square meters of trees. The Company also believes in
promoting green-manufacturing initiatives and has implemented a
company-wide ISO50001/GBT23331 energy management system to
incorporate energy-saving and sustainable development processes
throughout its product design, R&D and manufacturing
facilities.
"I am extremely honored to be a founding member of the Advisory
Board, which, alongside my position as Co-Chairman of the Global
Solar Council, and as the first President of the China Photovoltaic
Industry Association, is a testament to both our company's
leadership in the solar sector and our dedicated contributions to
the advancement of emission-free energy," said Mr. Jifan Gao, Chairman and CEO of Trina Solar. "The launch of the Advisory Board
will further support the implementation of the SDGs as we believe
the private sector plays an indispensable role in sustainable
development. With continuous cost reductions driven by
technological innovations, solar has become one of the major
sources of electricity generation around the world and will play a
more important role than ever in tackling climate change issues. In
this context, we will continue pooling our strengths to usher in
more innovative solutions to promote sustainable development both
in China and all over the world,
while also committing to fulfilling our social obligations with the
goal of boosting green initiatives."
