Website of the The Energy and Biodiversity Initiative (EBI), convened by CI's Center for Environmental Leadership in Business (CELB), brings together leading energy companies and conservation organizations to develop and promote a framework of best practices for integrating biodiversity conservation into upstream oil and gas development. The partners have created a set of practical guidelines and tools to minimize impacts to biodiversity and maximize contributions to conservation wherever oil and gas resources are developed. The guidelines address all stages of the project lifecycle—from pre-bid to decommissioning—and are designed to be integrated into existing company management systems.
