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.
