SuRe

SuRe (The Standard for Sustainable and Resilient Infrastructure) is a global voluntary ISEAL-standard which integrates key criteria of sustainability and resilience into infrastructure development and upgrade. It is currently developped by the Swiss Global Infrastructure Basel Foundation and the French bank Natixis.[1]

The aim of the standard is twofold: it not only guides project owners to develop infrastructure projects that perform high in sustainability and resilience aspects — taking into account social, environmental and governance criteria and best practices[2] — it also serves as a tool to communicate the sustainability and resilience benefits to potential investors, thus channelling more financial flows into infrastructure development and boosting sustainable socioeconomic development globally. The Standard was launched at 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP21).[3]
