As of mid-2023, the UK solar market had a total installed capacity of 16GW, a fifth of what is needed to reach the Government&#8217;s ambition to reach 70GW by 2035 and keep the UK on its trajectory to reach net zero by 2050.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The UK solar industry has been involved in developing a comprehensive due diligence platform \u2013 the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarstewardshipinitiative.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Solar Stewardship Initiative<\/a> \u2013 designed to tackle environmental sustainability and human rights challenges within the global solar supply chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The purpose of this briefing is to help members of the public, Government, industry and others interested in sustainability to understand better how the industry is working to drive transparency and sustainability in the global solar supply chain. This briefing provides an overview of the Solar Stewardship Initiative, its foundations and objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/solarenergyuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Summary-SSI-1.pdf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/solarenergyuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Website-Cover-Summary-SSI-jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8414\" width=\"462\" height=\"653\" srcset=\"https:\/\/solarenergyuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Website-Cover-Summary-SSI-jpg.webp 1414w, https:\/\/solarenergyuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Website-Cover-Summary-SSI-1086x1536.webp 1086w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 462px) 100vw, 462px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n            \n    <div class=\"crunch-button-wrapper\">\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/solarenergyuk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Summary-SSI-1.pdf\" id=\"crunch-button-block_15f0fc4acb97ac1de10a88addaca0f7a\" class=\"crunch-button crunch-button__full-background crunch-button__full-background--primary-color crunch-button__full-background--small\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Download Summary<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div id=\"acf-block-spacer-block_76017cee4db261196956ea50be2e1a18\" class=\"c-pt-4\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"acf-block-spacer-block_76017cee4db261196956ea50be2e1a18\" class=\"c-pt-4\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":8417,"template":"","resources_type":[280],"custom_tag":[],"class_list":["post-8413","resource","type-resource","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","resources_type-summary"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.5 (Yoast SEO v24.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Solar Stewardship Initiative &#8226;
