“The relationship between renewable energy sources and the communities we expect to host them must be appropriate and sustainable and, above all, acceptable to the local people”
— Owen Paterson
ESG
People, Planet and Profit: An ESG Overview
At East Energy, we integrate Environmental, Social, and Governance principles into every facet of our operations; our commitment to a sustainable and equitable future runs deep. We are focused on the fact that making clean power alone is only one part of the formula. Through our actions and results, we lead by example.
Environment
Driving Innovation in Renewable Energy
East Energy Renewables embodies the Planet pillar of the 3P Sustainability Model by prioritizing clean energy innovation and carbon reduction. This commitment extends beyond energy production; it’s about preserving the environment while driving economic growth. CEO Rich Deming’s leadership in global climate conversations, including hosting events at the 2023 and 2024 Climate Week NYC and board membership on international environmental policy groups, such as the Global Carbon Reward, reflects our dedication to shaping sustainable policies. Simultaneously, our practices minimize waste and pollution, ensuring that environmental stewardship is woven into our operational growth.
Social
Building Stronger Communities Together
The People pillar of the 3P framework is the foundation of our social initiatives. At East Energy, we hire locally, engage deeply with communities, and empower individuals through workforce development programs like our Apprenticeship Program. Our active involvement in local events and volunteer programs strengthens the social fabric of the towns and cities where we operate. By aligning with the 3P model, we create opportunities that uplift communities and build a more inclusive, equitable clean energy economy.
GovernANCE
Fostering Transparent and Ethical Leadership
Strong governance ties the Profit pillar to the broader goals of People and Planet. By ensuring financial stability, East Energy can reinvest in clean energy innovations, community engagement, and workforce development. Our ESG-forward handbook and employee education programs embody this integration. These tools not only promote transparency and accountability but also enable our team to drive sustainability initiatives that balance all three pillars.
