Infrastructure

Helping Investors control risks and find opportunities from enhanced ESG management

Contact an Infrastructure Expert

Infrastructure assets can generate significant environmental and social impacts. Investors need to practice strong stewardship, be transparent and have well managed Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) practices in place to deliver asset performance.

Risks and opportunities

Infrastructure is an illiquid long-term investment that requires understanding of the investment’s unique risks to returns. Having proper ESG processes in place are key to managing both risks and opportunities.

Transparency

Infrastructure investments have huge scope for impacting climate change through emissions, waste, water use, air quality and impacts of biodiversity. Transparency of management is essential.

Stakeholder engagement

Creating long term value by embracing the circular economy as part of infrastructure management accords well with many classes of infrastructure investment. Engaging with all stakeholders will unlock mutual benefits for all.

Climate change

Global infrastructure assets can be highly susceptible to climate change impacts and conversely can help society mediate and control impacts. Understanding physical and transition risks is essential.

“Our Trusted Sustainability Advisor”

“We engaged EVORA to support us with our GRESB Infrastructure submissions. They provided detailed guidance through a number of structured workshops and feedback sessions. They helped us to understand GRESB as a useful mechanism for continual improvement, focusing our efforts around the most material areas. EVORA were instrumental in helping us achieve 5* status.”

“We reached out to EVORA regarding our Infrastructure ESG efforts to which they provided expert support. The EVORA team displayed a deep understanding of sustainability areas which allowed us to focus on the key areas of our reporting. We would highly recommend EVORA to anyone looking for support in their Infrastructure ESG initiatives.”

“In the last six years that we’ve been working with EVORA, they have become our trusted sustainability advisor. What I really like about EVORA is that they bring an alternative angle to asset management that drives value across the portfolio.”

“The advice and support of EVORA has enabled us to take a proactive stance to sustainability, which will help ensure the resilience and future performance of our managed assets.”

“We are very proud to use EVORA as our exclusive sustainability consultants. Of all the similar practices out there, we’ve found EVORA to offer the most practical, forward-thinking approach to sustainability.”

“EVORA has provided expert knowledge, advice, and support on a variety of topics. We look forward to continuing our long-term collaboration with EVORA.”

“The EVORA team’s GRESB support was invaluable; they have a very clear understanding of the survey. It is a real pleasure to work with the EVORA team.”

“I have received sound advice on a subject matter of which I had limited knowledge. The value of your services is greater than the cost of them which is a rare commodity, as you’re fully aware.”
