Infrastructure for Good

Deloitte supports “Infrastructure for Good” research with Economist Impact and Duke University

Investment in infrastructure can have a transformative power on economies and societies and there’s a critical need to drive awareness of the benefits of smart and responsible infrastructure, to establish what “good” looks like and create a roadmap to enable better decision-making.

Deloitte is a proud supporter of Economist Impact's “Infrastructure for Good” initiative, a research programme exploring what inclusive and sustainable infrastructure looks like and how to support it.

To encourage prosperity globally, it is critical that governments and countries improve how they prioritise infrastructure and support dialogue between key stakeholders in infrastructure development, investment, private sector participation and regulation.

With an anticipated US$5+ trillion every year in global economic stimulus and infrastructure spending forecasted annually, the ability to shape the utilisation, prioritisation, security and social impact of these funds is an enormous opportunity and privilege. As such, Deloitte has a responsibility to create equity, possibility and opportunity—and connect citizens with infrastructure that builds better lives.
