SHANGHAI, Sept. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- JinkoSolar Holding
Co., Ltd. (NYSE: JKS) ("JinkoSolar"), an innovative global solar
module manufacturer today announced that it has been invited as a
speaker to The Climate Week NYC, which is biggest climate
summit taking place in 2020, organized by the Climate Group
and hosted in association with the United Nations and the
City of New York.
In particular, JinkoSolar will participate in the RE100 Members
Forum, an exclusive event which will celebrate all the RE100 member
companies for the many ways they've accelerated the transition to a
renewables-based electricity system. RE100 is an initiative that
brings together the world's more influential companies committed to
power all of their operations with 100% renewable energy sources,
and JinkoSolar was the first module supplier to join this green
initiative. In fact, as an active leader in the global dialogue on
clean energy transition, JinkoSolar has always been committed to
drive actions towards a shift to low carbon economy, and joining
RE100 represents another big step to achieve this ambitious
goal.
To date 254 leading companies coming from countries all around
the world make this commitment, and together the RE100 members
demand over 240 TWh per year of electricity, which is the
equivalent of the total demand of Indonesia. This means that RE100 members
represent the electricity demand of a major economy and that's a
really strong signal to the market and governments, that renewable
electricity makes business sense, and business is on demanding
renewable electricity.
Commenting on the significance of JinkoSolar joining RE100 and
on its participation in the RE100 Members' Forum, Sam Kimmins, the Head of RE100, the Climate
Group, shared: "We are really glad of having JinkoSolar
participating in RE100 Members' Forum as Jinko's commitment to
RE100 is very important for a number of reasons. First of all
JinkoSolar has been a pioneer in China, as the first module manufacturer to
join RE100. Secondly as a module supplier this sends a really
strong signal around the circular economy: using renewable
electricity to develop renewable electricity equipment is a
wonderful circular story and a great example of how the economy
should run. And thirdly, as part of this really rapid growth of
interest in RE100 in Asia,
JinkoSolar is setting a great example to its peers and to other
companies in its region."

not just a matter of CSR, is a matter of economic sensible and
smart investment. Doing well by doing good is now realistic and has
become a new strategy for more and more businesses."
