First Solar’s Commitment to Responsible Solar
First Solar has long understood its responsibility toward the planet, the community, and its customers.
The company places the principles of Responsible Solar at the heart of everything it does, setting its sights on exceeding industry standards, not merely meeting them.
First Solar has a long history of establishing benchmarks in recycling, supply chain transparency, the carbon and water footprints of photovoltaic (PV) technology, and health and safety.
First Solar is driven by a desire to make better solar:
- Solar that is powered by responsible manufacturing and supply chains.
- Solar that considers its overall impact and works hard to make people’s lives healthier.
- Solar that has no tolerance for the use of forced labor either in its manufacturing or its supply chain.
- Solar that meaningfully supports economic growth that transforms communities and drives prosperity
Responsible Sourcing with Zero Tolerance for Forced Labor
- One set of global specifications for material components resulting in a tightly controlled supply chain
- Zero module components sourced from Xinjiang, China
- Comprehensive supply chain management — from screening and auditing to transparent reporting
This is Responsible Solar.
Each day, thousands of First Solar employees invest their time, ingenuity, and dedication to producing solar technology that upholds these values.
