Zhejiang Chint Electrics Co. Ltd., a Zhejiang-based leading global provider of smart green energy solutions has recently joined the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC).

Launched In 2000, the UNGC is the largest corporate sustainability initiative in the world, with more than 9,500 companies and 3,000 non-business signatories based in over 160 countries, and more than 70 local networks. It is a call to companies everywhere to align their operations and strategies with ten universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption, and to take action in support of UN issues embodied in its sustainable development goals (SDGs).

The topic of sustainable development has long been a global concern, and more than 100 countries around the world have committed to the goal of "Carbon Neutrality". Based on the common interest of building a shared future for all mankind, this will promote a series of economic and social changes in areas including the economy, energy, environment, and climate. As a smart green energy solutions provider, CHINT has been actively involved in building a diversified renewable energy supply system, while making efforts for a transition to low carbon energy production.

The inclusion of CHINT shows the company's strong belief that sustainable development is engraved in its corporate genes. In this regard, Lily Zhang, Vice President of CHINT Global said that the company is honored to join the United Nations Global Compact. As a global company, CHINT’s development is closely connected with the development of societies and markets around the world. "We firmly believe that obtaining economic benefits and assuming social responsibilities are not opposed to each other but are in fact mutually dependent and closely linked,” Zhang said.
