The SmartScan is Now Available!

We are very pleased to announce the launch of GIB’s newest product – the GIB SmartScan. The SmartScan is a rapid self-assessment tool that helps to identify the high-risk areas, benefits and impacts of infrastructure projects by analysing their levels of sustainability and resilience. Based on the SuRe® Standard for Sustainable and Resilient Infrastructure, the SmartScan comprises several criteria covering governance, social and environmental factors. The tool offers cities and project owners a practical way to tap into international best practices and to efficiently flag risks and opportunities to improve projects. This prepares projects for the scrutiny of potential financiers, who increasingly focus on ESG criteria when assessing projects.

SmartScanAssessed projects have the option to engage a GIB sustainability professional to assist with and review the SmartScan assessment. This ensures that a higher degree of certainty is achieved from the SmartScan, and also results in a formal report being issued by GIB, which can be used to present findings to third parties. GIB offers several additional services to accompany the SmartScan, including reviews, recommendations and capacity building services. SmartScanBrochure on SmartScan
