Capital Projects & Infrastructure

Capital Projects & Infrastructure

ERM helps organizations shape, permit, construct and operate sustainable and investable capital projects and infrastructure assets. Across the infrastructure lifecycle, we identify and manage risks and streamline processes by aligning with international standards, investor requirements and stakeholder expectations on ESG.

Meeting demand for ESG-aligned capital projects and infrastructure

Achieving energy transition and renewable energy goals will drive unprecedented demand for sustainable capital projects and infrastructure assets. Considerable investment will be needed, which must be carefully aligned with sustainable finance standards and requirements.

Delivering increasingly complex capital projects means navigating ESG demands from societal, regulatory and investor stakeholders. In addition, developers need to plan for unforeseen challenges which can give rise to delays and costly disruptions.

Successful capital project and infrastructure development requires a programmatic mindset to actively shape projects that will meet regulatory, financial and societal expectations and protect and enhance corporate reputation.

Strategic alignment and effective collaboration between internal teams and external stakeholders is critical to enable the timely identification and management of factors that could derail or jeopardize project delivery.

Secure funding, avoid delays and deliver resilient capital projects and infrastructure assets by proactively managing ESG risks and critical success factors.
