The certification process, overseen by independent third-party auditors, validates the company’s material sourcing and manufacturing methods against the SSI Supply Chain Traceability Standard. By securing this level of oversight, Canadian Solar aims to bolster industry-wide confidence in the origin and integrity of its solar components.
Canadian Solar Secures SSI Traceability Certification for Key Facilities
Canadian Solar has become the first manufacturer to earn Silver Level Solar Stewardship Initiative certification for both its ingot and cell production sites. The achievement covers the company's manufacturing plants in Baotou and Suqian, signaling a push for greater transparency across the global solar supply chain.
Colin Parkin, chief executive officer of Canadian Solar, described the certification as a milestone in the company’s effort to improve accountability. The company previously received ESG-related certifications in 2025 for these same locations, with the Suqian cell factory earning Silver and the Baotou ingot facility receiving Bronze. Canadian Solar is showcasing these advancements this week at the Intersolar Europe conference in Munich.
