Mr. Lee Shing Put, B.B.S., Chairman and Executive Director of Xinyi Energy, said, “We are honored to receive the above award from BDO again. This award not only brings great encouragement to the Group, but also proves that our efforts in environmental, social and governance ("ESG") have been fully recognised by professional organisations. As an operator purely engaged in renewables, Xinyi Energy has always been committed to providing society with green and clean power through photovoltaic power generation, reducing the demand for thermal power from end-users and contributing considerable carbon emission reductions to the society, thereby positively impacting the global climate change mitigation and reducing the pollution of the atmospheric environment and water resources caused by traditional energy generation. In the future, the Group will continue its efforts to increase the scale and operating efficiency of its solar farms, while also ensuring supply stability and safety, in order to provide the world with more green power and support the global energy transition. We also believe that with the Group's unique business model and strong sustainable development strategy, it can create employment opportunities for the local community and generate stable tax revenues while bringing significant environmental benefits to the society, thus delivering balanced economic, environmental and social benefits.”
