Equitable Origin has implemented a certification score for each certified site. A certification score attached to the certificate is important for differentiating Operators and incentivizing Operators to strive to achieve higher level targets and performance over time.

Every Certified Unit will receive a grade that will be attached to the certificate and published in the Summary Report.

Under each of the five Principles, the minimum score is evaluated against the following levels:

• A+: 100% PT1, 75% PT2, 50% PT3
• A: 98% PT1, 50% PT2, 25% PT3
• A-: 95% PT1, 25% PT2, 10% PT3
• B+: 90% PT1
• B: 85% PT1
• B-: 80% PT1
• C+: 75% PT1
• C: 70% PT1

A Certifiable Unit needs to achieve a minimum score of 70% under each of the five Principles to become certified. The lowest possible grade is C.

The grading procedure will come into effect on January 1, 2022.
