Global Infrastructure Basel Foundation

Global Infrastructure Basel (GIB) Foundation is a Swiss foundation based in Basel working to promote sustainable and resilient infrastructure through sustainable infrastructure design and financing on a global scale.

GIB supports the development and financing of sustainable and resilient infrastructure:

• by designing leading standards for infrastructure design and performance assessment, as well as credit rating and insurance
• based on multi-stakeholder approaches taking into account relevant expertise across sectors and regions
• by strengthening the capacity of relevant stakeholders in the public sector, infrastruc-ture and financial sector to integrate relevant environmental, social and governance aspects
• by advancing research exploring the link between the sustainability and resilience performance of infrastructure projects and their financial performance
• by contributing to shaping the policy agenda.

Active since 2008, GIB works with multiple stakeholders ranging from city representatives to project developers and infrastructure financiers, with a focus on emerging and developing countries. GIB envisions a world where sustainable and resilient infrastructure is the norm rather than the exception.
