Projects and organisations using the AGIC tool can benefit because it will:
- Be a practical tool for project teams to de-mystify sustainability in an infrastructure context and help them achieve sustainable outcomes
- Be a practical checklist of sustainability risks, opportunities and obligations for all parties involved in an infrastructure project and for all stages of a project (financing, procuring, tendering, building and operating)
- Be a roadmap of practical solutions and examples
- Create a common language within teams enabling them to objectively assess comparative value of sustainability initiatives (by relating it to points gained)
- Contain useful benchmarks for internal monitoring, reporting, and continual improvement purposes
- Complement efforts to obtain data for internal and external reporting processes linked to industry indicators (eg Global Reporting Initiative, Equator Principles, Enduring Value)
- Assist defining documentation requirements and reviewing responses in competitive tenders.
