CHANGZHOU, China, Dec. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Trinasolar has signed the United Nations Women's Empowerment Principles, reaffirming its commitment to advancing global gender equality and empowering women.

Designed to guide companies in empowering women in the workplace, marketplace and the community generally, the principles are the result of collaboration between UN Women and UNGC. As a global signatory of the WEPs, Trinasolar integrates the UN SDGs into its corporate strategy and operations.

To continually improve internal policies and practices, Trinasolar strictly complies with laws and regulations in the jurisdictions where it operates and aligns policies with international human rights conventions and labor standards, such as the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.

Building policies and cultures of equity and diversity

Trinasolar is committed to establishing a governance structure that values diversity in all forms. Women hold one third of the seats on the company's board of directors. Trinasolar promotes gender equality and women's empowerment through initiatives such as hosting women's leadership-sharing events.

Supporting women's health and work-life balance

Trinasolar organizes annual health checkups tailored to female employees. The company has set up Carnation Service Stations to provide more amenable work arrangements for pregnant employees. Customized gift packages are offered to women who marry or give birth. In addition, both male and female employees are entitled to parental leave benefits.

Valuing women's skills and celebrating their contributions

In its recruitment, promotion and training, Trinasolar emphasizes gender equality and equal pay for equal work. The company has developed a comprehensive talent development system that provides employees with broad opportunities. Special attention is given to female employees, with their average training hours almost tripling in recent years.

The Chairman and CEO of Trinasolar, Gao Jifan, said: "We firmly believe that a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion is crucial to the long-term success and growth of any organization. At Trinasolar, this has been at the heart of our corporate culture from the very beginning. Joining hands with the WEPs platform, we are committed to creating an environment where all employees, especially women, have equal opportunities to thrive.
