The Purpose-Driven Toolkit is an integrated suite of clean energy procurement resources, created over the course of a 1-year solicitation process by Rivian and The Nature Conservancy. It includes a sample Request for Proposals (RFP) template, Offer Form, and scoring matrix to allow clean energy buyers to align their solicitations with the “3C” principles – climate, conservation and communities. These tools are intended for industry leaders to use and adapt, in a way that is consistent with their company values, to accelerate the adoption of purpose-driven clean energy projects. For more information on how the 3Cs are used in clean energy procurement, please reference Beyond Carbon Free.

This toolkit is also included within "Power with Purpose: Driving Change Through Clean Energy Procurement," a case study by Rivian and TNC that shares lessons learned and best practices for applying the 3C framework based on a national procurement process. The study draws on organizational strengths and expertise of Rivian and TNC to develop guidance for other companies to meet their renewable energy needs while enabling system-wide 3C benefits.
