JinkoSolar Completes Phase I of Environment Safety Upgrade
SHANGHAI, Oct. 7, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- JinkoSolar Holding Co.,
Ltd. /quotes/zigman/587434/quotes/nls/jks JKS -6.33% , a fast growing,
vertically integrated solar power product manufacturer in China, today
announced the completion of its phase I environment safety upgrade at its
facility in Haining City in the Zhejiang Province of China.
Zhejiang Jinko Co., Ltd. ("Zhejiang Jinko"), a wholly owned subsidiary of
JinkoSolar, conducted a thorough investigation of its temporary waste
storage unit adjacent to the manufacturing facility with an independent
Chinese Environmental Agency as an immediate response to concerns after a
small amount of fluoride was discharged into a nearby waterway due to
unforeseen extreme weather conditions. Fluoride is a highly water-soluble
component and the small amount released from the Zhejiang site diluted
within days.
JinkoSolar has taken necessary steps to establish appropriate protocols and
prevention plans for extreme weather conditions and now imposes regulations
that are stricter than the industry standard. The company takes pride in its
substantive investment in the latest environmental management control
systems and state of the art equipment for its Zhejiang factory's production
facility.
"The company's management team has very high standards and remains strongly
committed to corporate social responsibility," said Arturo Herrero, Chief
Marketing Officer of JinkoSolar. "JinkoSolar is dedicated to serving the
local community through generous contributions to local primary schools in
China and solar electrification projects in Sudan and Tanzania," added
Herrero.
Being a member of the PV Cycle Association and a recipient of the Cleantech
Driver Award from the Deutsche Cleantech Institut, JinkoSolar remains
steadfast in its dedication to ensuring that its operations are held with
high standards and adhere to environmental policies.
