USGBC has identified “fostering social equity” as a driving principle in its strategic plan, and in 2014, launched 3 new Social Equity credits as part of the LEED v4 Pilot Credit library. The three credits; Social Equity in the Project, Social Equity in the Community, and Social Equity in the Supply Chain reward project teams for implementing best practices in improving social equity.
