LONGi places a high value on biodiversity conservation in the process of production, operation, and project development. We require all construction projects to identify and evaluate the impact on the ecological environment and biodiversity during project design and give priority to the principle of avoidance to avoid the sensitive and vulnerable areas in the ecological environment to the greatest extent. In 2023, we did not own, lease, or manage any operational sites in or adjacent to conservation areas and areas of high biodiversity value outside conservation areas.
Biodiversity conservation throughout the whole lifecycle of projects
Design and planning
Carrying out ecological base research on the project sites to understand the local species and their growth characteristics with a focus on the factors related to biodiversity conservation, and giving priority to the protection of endemic species and their habitats;
Construction
Strictly abiding by the relevant laws and regulations on biodiversity conservation, and conducting environmental impact assessments following the “three simultaneity” principle;
Using more materials, devices, and equipment that benefit biodiversity conservation in the construction process;
Focusing on the prevention and control of pollutants that have a major impact on the surrounding ecological environment;
Carrying out ecological restoration in the affected areas during the construction process and ensuring maintenance in the later stage.
Operation and maintenance
Carrying out regular inspections on potential environmental hazards, and conducting timely protection and restoration;
Carrying out ecological protection publicity and education for employees to raise their awareness of biodiversity conservation.
