This recommended practice provides a framework for implementing Gender Equity and Social Inclusion (GESI) considerations including and measurable well-being outcomes into industry practices within power and energy projects and operations, primarily for the Low Carbon Energy Industry. The recommended practice scope describes requirements (1) for how projects supporting the Low Carbon Energy transition can accommodate GESI considerations (2) to address GESI considerations for both the transition phase as well as the business-as-usual phase after the transition phase has concluded (3) on how to monitor and to evaluate the effectiveness of GESI considerations in industry practices. The requirements are complemented with indicators and metrics to evaluate progress and outcomes. This recommended practice encourages and helps engineers, scientists, technologists, and other professionals in the power industry to consider GESI factors in their practice and to create a clear record of the outcomes of those considerations in their projects. The practice guidelines have a global scope of focus and be nuanced, taking into consideration geographic, political, legal/governance, cultural, social, technology maturity, development, environmental, and ethical factors.
