About Sinovoltaics Group

Sinovoltaics Group is a Dutch-German managed quality assurance, product engineering, and technical compliance consulting firm headquartered in Hong Kong, specialized in de-risking of solar photovoltaic assets and investments. Sinovoltaics Group assists solar PV and BESS developers, EPCs, utilities, financiers, and insurance companies with execution of Zero Risk Solar Projects, allowing companies to invest with confidence in solar PV & Energy storage projects, by guaranteeing ROI. 

We audited over 300 factories, have a track record above 20 GW, and are serving 50+ countries worlwide. At this moment, Sinovoltaics is rapidly evolving and we are well on our way to achieving our BHAG set for 2030: 'completed 100GW of high performing and ESG compliant PV & BESS projects'. We cannot do this alone, and we need your ESG & Traceability expertise to support our mission. 

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)

• EU: The Forced Labor Regulation & Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD)

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. This is about far more than one supplier or manufacturer meeting the organisation’s ESG standards. It’s about understanding the latest EU + USA policies, and ensuring compliance by implementing extensive strategies to ensure the origin of all goods and materials across increasingly complex and global supply chains.
