The global RE100 initiative aims to unite Global Fortune 500 companies such as 
Apple, Google, Facebook, Coca-Cola, Microsoft, Philips and Goldman Sachs, to 
the committed goal of 100% renewable energy in the shortest possible timeframe. 
In order to achieve this climate goal, each company in the RE100 will commit to 
source 100% of the electricity used across their global operations from 
renewable energy. 

In joining the RE100 initiative, LONGi will assume greater responsibility for 
the global development of the low-carbon economy and achievement of climate 
goals. 

From 2006 to present, LONGi's energy strategy is divided into three major 
stages: 

Stage 1: 2006-2015, using traditional energy to produce clean energy.

Stage 2: 2016-present, using clean energy to produce clean energy. 

LONGi manufactures photovoltaic products in China's Yunnan and Malaysia's 
Kuching - regions that are rich in hydropower. The finished products are 
exported to customers in all parts of the world, becoming "amplifiers and 
porters of clean energy".

Stage 3: In the future, LONGi will realize its "Solar for Solar" concept of 
manufacturing clean energy products using 100% clean energy and achieve a 
negative carbon earth.

In recent years, LONGi has installed solar photovoltaic systems on the rooftops 
of its production facilities to promote the use of clean energy. At the same 
time, LONGi also actively developed solar photovoltaic power stations with more 
than 2GW of ground power stations and 1.5GW of commercial & industrial power 
stations cumulatively. LONGi is one of the first photovoltaic enterprises to 
purchase "Green Electricity Certificates" and has been listed in the list of 
green manufacturing enterprises by the Ministry of Industry and Information 
Technology of the People's Republic of China many times.

Helen Clarkson, CEO of The Climate Group said, "LONGi is a world leading solar 
technology company. The Climate Group and LONGi are fully aligned in the 
concept of sustainable development. We hope to work with LONGi to jointly 
promote the rapid development of global renewable energy."

Li Zhenguo, Founder and President of LONGi commented, "Joining the global RE100 
initiative is LONGi's commitment to the sustainable future of the world. We 
will take concrete steps to ensure that our commitments are achieved. LONGi is 
willing to work with global partners to drive the global energy transformation, 
and we firmly believe that the goal of 100% renewable energy worldwide by 2050 
can be achieved, even possibly sooner."
