Sustainable Energy Equity (SEE) Index
Evaluating Business Sustainability, Equity, and Economic Performance
Sustainable Energy Equity (SEE) Index
This program establishes a framework for evaluating a business’s sustainability through its contributions in reducing carbon emissions, electric grid reliability support, energy equity, and improving the business’s bottom line.
Four Pillars of Evaluation
Carbon Emissions Reduction
Measures the organization’s effectiveness in reducing greenhouse gas output through operational changes, clean energy adoption, and efficiency improvements.
Electric Grid Reliability
Assesses contributions to grid stability and resilience, including distributed energy resources, demand response participation, and infrastructure support.
Energy Equity
Evaluates the extent to which an organization’s energy practices benefit underserved communities — from equitable access to clean energy to direct investment in energy-insecure households.
Economic Performance
Analyzes how sustainability initiatives contribute to the organization’s bottom line — ensuring that environmental and equity commitments strengthen, rather than compromise, business viability.
