Green Infrastructure (GI) was investigated as part of a joint‐industry program that aims to find ways to increase the
resilience to external economic and environmental stressors.
The GI team, composed of scientists and engineers from The Dow Chemical Company, Shell, Swiss Re, and Unilever,
working with The Nature Conservancy and an academic resiliency expert, evaluated a number of business case studies
from their respective organizations and from literature.
K EY CONCLUSIONS :
Five key conclusions from this study are given here and will be elaborated on in the remainder of this document.
• GI solutions form an essential element in a portfolio of solutions to increase the resilience of industrial business
operations, but do not provide resilience against every potential stressor and therefore benefit from thorough
site investigation and management of location specific risks
• GI solutions often demonstrate financial advantages compared to gray infrastructure due to a reduction of initial
capital expenses and ongoing operational expenses and can be used to strategically recapitalize ageing assets
• GI solutions offer opportunities, often overlooked in current project assessments, to effectively manage socio‐
political risks through innovative collaboration with key stakeholders
• GI solutions often leverage existing natural resources. Their regenerative processes consume less energy and are
thus less sensitive to power loss and fluctuations in the cost of energy, as compared to gray infrastructure
• Both green and gray infrastructure resist shocks, but in different ways. Hybrid approaches, utilizing a combination
of green and gray infrastructure, may provide an optimum solution to shocks and improve the overall resilience of
an organization
