-As the world prepares for a new reality coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a clear necessity at this moment to rethink how we can rebuild the global economy and societies for a more resilient and sustainable future. Now more than ever we should be aware of our impact on the planet and our vulnerability to threats of a global scale.
Resilience, mitigation, preparedness and sustainable growth are at the top of the agenda in board rooms, legislative chambers and the public domain. Governments around the world are turning to infrastructure as a means to boost economic growth. The prioritization of green infrastructure projects through mechanisms like sustainable finance and robust ESG criteria can help to ensure that we emerge from the COVID-19 crisis more resilient to address imminent threats including climate change.
KPMG Belgium is involved in this critical industry transformation, bringing together our respected asset management and sustainability practices to work closely with private and public sector asset owners, operators and investors in several key areas. Together, KPMG professionals are helping clients to plan, build and manage infrastructure programs that are environmentally resilient, socially impactful and deliver sustainable economic growth for current and future generations.
