"Trina Solar joined SBTi to better fulfill its mission of 'Solar Energy for

All'," said Gao Jifan, the company's chairman. "We will draw on our strategic

advantages, our strong product development and innovation capabilities and our

global business presence to move as swiftly as possible toward carbon

neutrality and sustainable development. Every step that Trina Solar takes will

be in line with the 1.5°C pledge, and we will do our utmost to create a

carbon-free world."

In December 1997 the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention

on Climate Change, the first ever international act by all countries to limit

greenhouse gas emissions, was signed. Inspired by the signing of the protocol

and former U.S. president Bill Clinton's Million Solar Roofs Initiative, Gao

Jifan founded Trina Solar, one of the world's first makers of PV modules.

Trina Solar, as a leading global PV smart energy solutions provider with the

vision of creating a carbon-free world, provides global customers with

three-in-one PV solar solutions consisting of high-efficiency modules,

intelligent trackers and power plant operation and maintenance services. By the

first quarter of 2021 Trina Solar had shipped more than 70GW+ of modules, which

can generate about 90 billion kWh of clean-energy power and reduced CO2

emissions by 94.22 million tons per year, equivalent to planting 5.1 billion

trees.

SBTi was jointly launched by the World Wide Fund for Nature, the Carbon

Disclosure Project, the World Resources Institute and the UN Global Compact in

2015, setting a carbon emissions target to limit global warming to 1.5°C or 2°C.

Trina Solar joined the1.5°C initiative, which calls for a higher reductions

target and stronger actions to achieve it. Trina Solar is also one of only nine

companies in China that has backed the more stringent 1.5°C goal. More than

1,500 companies worldwide have joined the SBTi, including more than one fifth

of the Forbes Global 500 companies.
