Recently, the 2023 Smart Energy Conference was held in Beijing, and the first ESG group standard for energy companies in China was released. The group standard is jointly compiled by the State Power Investment Corporation, China ESG Research Institute of Capital University of Economics, GCL-ET and other institutions.
With the global emphasis on environmental protection and sustainable development, ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) has become an important standard for measuring corporate social responsibility. In this context, the release of the first ESG group standard for energy enterprises in China marks an important step forward in the green development of China's energy enterprises.
Huo Guangzhao, Vice President of GCL-ET, said that GCL Group invests 3-5% of its operating income in green R&D every year, and has mastered a series of low-carbon hard-core technologies, which can effectively drive the decarbonization of the whole chain. GCL Optoelectronics has created the world's first perovskite tandem module with an efficiency of 2617%, and was certified by the Chinese Institute of Metrology. At the same time, its single-junction commercial module efficiency is 18%, which is in line with the competitive level of crystalline silicon solar technology. Since the official implementation of the three strategies of "GCL Technology, Digital GCL, and Green GCL" in 2021, GCL's core bases have been recognized by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China or provincial green factories. GCL has taken the lead in successfully building three major systems: a partial new power system, a zero-carbon digital operating system based on international standards, and a microgrid cluster system, providing diversified and high-quality carbon neutrality services for many world-renowned enterprises, and creating a number of zero-carbon industrial parks and zero-carbon factory benchmark projects.
Digital transformation is no longer a choice, but the key for enterprises to integrate into the future intelligent competition, and digitalization is also an inevitable element to build a green, intelligent and new energy and power system.
