Keeping promises, saying what is right, and letting actions speak louder than words are the key principles guiding their approach. Through consistent demonstrations of these values, EEG aims to build trust with its corporate partners.

Corporate responsibility and additionality are other foundational concepts for EEG. They believe accountability and transparency are crucial for corporations pursuing equitable clean energy transitions. By working with corporations that have real-world experience overcoming obstacles, they offer credible insights. Their goal is to bridge corporations and marginalized low-income communities, empowering the latter.
