Sinovoltaics Group is hiring an ESG & Traceability Director (PV & BESS) serving as a key consultant to organizations seeking to integrate ESG considerations into their core business strategies and operations. The ESG & Traceability Director plays a pivotal role in Sinovoltaics, researching the latest government regulations and expanding our ESG & traceability service scope. With a team of SA8000 accredited auditors near the factories in Asia, Sinovoltaics is well positioned to conduct comprehensive analysis of PV and BESS supply chains and provide recommendations contributing to greater ESG performance of organizations.
Both, EU and USA have or are introducing regulations to eliminate forced labor from the PV & BESS supply chain. These regulations include:
• USA: Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA)

Sinovoltaics has designed and offers dedicated ESG & Traceability services to ensure an ethical Supply Chain for its customers (Utilities, IPP, EPC, project developers).
Organisations, and more importantly, their investors and clients, are seeking transparent, secure and responsible supply chains.
