Olympus Energy Earns Premier Environmental Performance Ratings from Project Canary

July 12, 2022 07:58 AM Eastern Daylight Time PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Olympus Energy earned the highest possible environmental performance asset-level certifications relying on Project Canary's rigorous, independent environmental assessment process, the company announced today. Olympus' ratings validate the company's best-in-class ESG performance, industry-leading low-methane emissions, community engagement, and freshwater programs.

• 100% of Olympus' YE21 operated assets now Certified Responsibly Sourced Gas by Project Canary.
• Asset-level Platinum ratings indicate Olympus achieved highest marks for environmental stewardship, including methane intensity, emissions reduction, and water recycling.
• The company scored exceedingly well in emergency response, well integrity, and community engagement programs.
• Data from continuous emissions monitors at certified well pad locations support commitment to minimizing emissions.

"Every day, the Olympus team works to produce natural gas in the most efficient and environmentally responsible manner possible. This certification validates our commitment," Tim Dugan, President and CEO of Olympus Energy, said. "We're deeply proud of the results achieved by doing things the right way and continually seek innovative approaches to unlock even better ESG performance."

Project Canary's high-fidelity, rigorous 800+ data point analysis of existing well sites represents the industry's most comprehensive assessment program. Olympus' low-methane verified environmental attribute performance alongside key initiatives including upgrading local infrastructure voluntarily, holding transparent community dialogue, establishing and practicing an industry-leading emergency response program, water recycling initiatives, and building a wildlife habitat area contributed to the company's top ratings.

"Major domestic and international utilities are seeking the premium Certified Responsibly Sourced Gas producers like Olympus are offering. Net-zero requires solutions for low-methane verified environmental attributes and freshwater use, among other ESG markers," said Chris Romer, Co-founder and CEO of Project Canary.
