Recording of Thursday, December 12, 2024 | Sustainable Solar Europe | Language: English | Duration: 99:30 .

Building on the success of their ESG Standard, the Solar Stewardship Initiative is set to reach a new milestone with the publication of the final SSI Supply Chain Traceability Standard. This step marks the completion of the SSI certification programme, and paves the way for SSI product claims to be made by the end of 2025. The finalised system will enable the independent certification of production sites against the SSI ESG Standard, and establishes the tools to trace and prove where, how, and by whom solar products are made. Join this session for the launch of the SSI Supply Chain Traceability Standard, to discuss the SSI’s next steps, and how it will support the implementation of critical, upcoming EU legislation on sustainable supply chains.
