There are various types of consequentalism. The lack of distinction between ethical necessity and supererogation, and the general focus about optimizing the world, are typical of utilitarianism, which is in fact often associated with effective altruism (although it is not strictly necessary for it).
I think it applies to any and all of them just as well, but I (very stupidly) didn’t realize until now that utilitarianism is (a type of) consequentialism.
