Organization
First Solar earns a Medium Risk rating because it sometimes lets political and identity-based considerations influence its governance and employment practices rather than focusing purely on merit and business performance. While its philanthropic and political action practices show lower risk, high-risk scores in employment protection and advocacy bias pull its overall rating toward the middle.
First Solar, Inc. is an American publicly traded manufacturer of solar panels. First Solar uses rigid thin-film modules for its solar panels, and produces CdTe panels using cadmium telluride (CdTe) as a semiconductor.
