Sany has prioritised climate action within its sustainability strategy, aligning with the Paris Agreement’s objective of limiting global warming to 1.5°C.
In 2024, the company’s wind turbines produced 135.8 billion kWh of electricity, resulting in a reduction of CO₂ emissions by 72.87 million tonnes, equivalent to planting 3.3 billion trees.
Additionally, Sany is committed to promoting environmentally friendly turbine design and to increasing the recyclability of mainstream models to 95% by 2030, based on 2020 levels.
In October 2024, Sany secured a contract to supply wind turbines with a capacity of more than 1.3GW to three subsidiaries of the JSW Group, an Indian multinational conglomerate.
