From compliance to competitive advantage: How infrastructure funds create value through sustainability


Infrastructure has become the defining asset class of the decade. With over USD 1.5 trillion under management globally, private infrastructure investors sit at the centre of the net-zero transition, owning the energy, transport, digital and social assets that enable modern economies to function. Yet many funds are still grappling with how to move from compliance-led ESG reporting to genuine, data-driven value creation.
This whitepaper from KEY ESG explores how infrastructure funds can transform sustainability performance into measurable financial outcomes. Drawing on recent insights from global leaders including Antin Infrastructure Partners, Macquarie, EQT, Brookfield, and 3i, the report analyses how operational control, regulatory convergence and investor expectations are reshaping value creation across the asset class.
Whether you manage renewables, fibre networks, ports or social infrastructure, this guide demonstrates why granular, asset-level sustainability data is now a strategic imperative, not just a reporting requirement
