Sustainability Report

Overview

The report describes First Solar's approved science-based targets to reduce absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 34% by 2028 and reach net-zero emissions by 2050. It gives unusual transparency to responsible-sourcing risks, detailing Malaysia RBA audit findings involving migrant-worker recruitment fees, passport retention and unlawful wage retention, alongside corrective actions. The report also highlights 2022 reductions in GHG, energy, water and waste intensity and the company's high-value PV recycling program, which recovers more than 90% of module materials.
