SOLAR STEWARDSHIP INITIATIVE
Driving a more responsible, transparent, and sustainable solar value chain.
OUR MISSION
The Solar Stewardship Initiative’s mission is to further develop a responsible, transparent, and sustainable solar value chain.
The solar sector is growing exponentially, providing a critical solution to climate change. With growth, the impact and change that we can make in the value chain increases. The Solar Stewardship Initiative puts responsibility to action, and works to ensure the energy transition is just, inclusive, and respects human rights.
The Solar Stewardship Initiative ROADMAP
The Solar Stewardship Initiative is being designed to further develop supply chain transparency and strengthen confidence in how, where, and by whom products and solar components are manufactured. It will work to establish and access verifiable information on current levels of transparency, and on overall ESG performance standards in the solar supply chain. The Solar Stewardship Initiative Roadmap sets a clear path forward.
