LONGi achieves ‘A’ MSCI ESG rating as governance and supply-chain standards strengthen, leading its sector in key risk indicators as

LONGi has achieved an “A” rating in the latest ESG assessment conducted by MSCI Inc. (Morgan Stanley Capital International), one of the world’s leading independent providers of ESG ratings and financial indexes used by global investors. This marks the second consecutive year of improvement for Longi and reflects stronger performance in governance, supply-chain oversight and sustainability disclosure.

Upgrade in ESG rating highlights improved resilience to long-term risks

MSCI’s latest public assessment elevates LONGi to an “A” level rating, noting that the company’s Weighted Average Key Issue Score (WAKIS) now ranks highest within A-share and H-share companies in the semiconductor and photovoltaic industry chain. According to the agency, LONGi’s governance practices, ethical business culture and supply-chain labour standards contributed materially to the improved rating.  

Supply-chain and governance performance recognized

In the assessment report, LONGi’s supply-chain policies and sourcing controls were highlighted as ahead of many global peers. The company has implemented enhanced procurement policies and oversight mechanisms for Tier 1 suppliers, and extended compliance systems throughout operations. These improvements reflect a broader focus on embedding ESG risk awareness in governance structures, including board oversight and executive accountability.

Higher ESG score enhances LONGi’s standing with investors and project developers

As a leading player in monocrystalline silicon wafers, solar cell and module technology, LONGi’s upgraded ESG rating carries significance for stakeholders across the solar sector. Investors and project developers are increasingly factoring ESG credentials into partnership decisions, procurement contracts and funding access. LONGi’s stronger rating thus strengthens its position as a listed company able to demonstrate resilience to non-financial risks such as supply-chain disruption, regulatory change or labour-related issues.

Next phase centres on tighter supply-chain control and improved transparency

LONGi will continue to deepen its sustainability practices, specifically by refining supply-chain oversight, elevating energy- and resource-efficiency measures, and enhancing transparency in ESG disclosures. The company emphasises its intention to link major sustainability metrics with business strategy and stakeholder engagement, thereby reinforcing investor confidence and regulatory alignment.

Building on the upgraded MSCI ESG rating, LONGi notes that robust governance and supply-chain systems are also central to the company’s broader sustainability disclosures. The recently published 2024–2025 Climate Action White Paper and LONGi’s first report aligned with the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) both rely on strengthened data quality, risk-management structures and transparent reporting processes. These publications expand the company’s scope from climate-related targets to nature-related dependencies and value-chain impacts, demonstrating how LONGi’s governance, emissions management and environmental-risk assessment are increasingly integrated across its strategic planning and long-term decarbonisation pathway.
