Last week, SSI CEO Rachel Owens took part in The Building Podcast with Mark Wakeford to discuss the SSI’s mission to make solar supply chains transparent, sustainable, and responsible.
In the conversation, Rachel outlined:
▪ How the SSI’s independent, third-party ESG and Traceability Standards are driving credible accountability across the solar value chain.
▪ Why a multi-stakeholder governance, equally representing industry, civil society, and international institutions, is essential to build trust.
▪ The latest achievement: 85 GW of module production capacity now certified against the SSI ESG Standard. A milestone already surpassing both the EU and UK annual solar installations.
As global attention on ESG and due diligence grows, the SSI is demonstrating how robust, independent assurance mechanisms can support an energy transition that is both fast and fair.
