SHANGHAI, Oct. 7, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. /quotes/zigman/587434/quotes/nls/jks JKS -7.22% , a fast growing, vertically integrated solar power product manufacturer in China, today announced the completion of its phase I environment safety upgrade at its facility in Haining City in the Zhejiang Province of China.
Zhejiang Jinko Co., Ltd. ("Zhejiang Jinko"), a wholly owned subsidiary of JinkoSolar, conducted a thorough investigation of its temporary waste storage unit adjacent to the manufacturing facility with an independent Chinese Environmental Agency as an immediate response to concerns after a small amount of fluoride was discharged into a nearby waterway due to unforeseen extreme weather conditions. Fluoride is a highly water-soluble component and the small amount released from the Zhejiang site diluted within days.
JinkoSolar has taken necessary steps to establish appropriate protocols and prevention plans for extreme weather conditions and now imposes regulations that are stricter than the industry standard. The company takes pride in its substantive investment in the latest environmental management control systems and state of the art equipment for its Zhejiang factory's production facility.
"The company's management team has very high standards and remains strongly committed to corporate social responsibility," said Arturo Herrero, Chief Marketing Officer of JinkoSolar. "JinkoSolar is dedicated to serving the local community through generous contributions to local primary schools in China and solar electrification projects in Sudan and Tanzania," added Herrero.
Being a member of the PV Cycle Association and a recipient of the Cleantech Driver Award from the Deutsche Cleantech Institut, JinkoSolar remains steadfast in its dedication to ensuring that its operations are held with high standards and adhere to environmental policies.
