EO100™ Site Certification

In a world where demand for energy is growing and predicted to grow for decades, more energy development projects in more populated and more environmentally sensitive areas is a certainty. At the same time, major companies and entire industries are working to manage or eliminate social and environmental risks in their supply chains, and are more concerned than ever with the impacts of the energy they consume.

Equitable Origin brings transparency to energy development that significantly reduces social and environmental risks. Through its site certification program,
Equitable Origin gives credible, independent recognition to energy developers that lead their sector in social and environmental performance.

Equitable Origin offers innovative energy developers and site operators:

• A protocol for engaging stakeholders in a productive dialog to build trust and informed support of their projects
• Independent, credible verification of an energy project’s performance
• Public certification that has the support of local and international stakeholders

Community Engagement

The Equitable Origin System is grounded in community engagement. Equitable Origin offers years of experience and a wealth of expertise in community engagement to operators, regulators and other stakeholders seeking productive dialogue with communities near their project(s) to establish positive relationships and inform exceptional social performance. Community Engagement services can include situational analyses and local stakeholder mapping of specific projects and in-person or virtual workshops led by EO staff and/or trained consultants. Engagement services are effective at any stage of an energy development project. EO specializes in engagement with Indigenous Peoples in the Amazon region.
