Resource description:

Increase your infrastructure project’s attractiveness to investors in only a few steps. The GIB SmartScan allows you to assess your infrastructure projects based on its Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues and helps to efficiently flag risks and opportunities for improvements of your project. This process helps you to identify and therefore eliminate risks and to improve the ESG aspects of the assessed project, which is increasingly a mandatory consideration for investors in their investment decisions.

Requirements:

  • The SmartScan requires the user to know information about the project to be screened.

Advantages:

  • The SmartScan improves the attractiveness of infrastructure projects to investors
  • The SmartScan helps to identify and eliminate risks and highlight benefits
  • The SmartScan helps to improve ESG aspects of the project

Constraints:

  • The SmartScan is a self-assessment tool. The output of the tool is only as good as the information that is fed in.
  • The SmartScan is not a standard nor certifies infrastructure projects. If you are interested in a standard certification process please check our Standard for Sustainable and Resilient Infrastructure (SuRe) at www.gib-foundation.org/sure-standard
