ESG Service ALG

We help clients navigate complex ESG requirements with clear, structured, and decision reporting.​

Our work supports compliance with international standards, lender requirements, and disclosure frameworks such as ACI, IFC Performance Standard, GRI, ISSP, SBTi, while ensuring that reporting is a tool to improve governance, transparency, and performance.

We support transport infrastructure clients in understanding how climate change can affect assets, operations, communities, and long-term financial performance. Our approach combines climate risk analysis, adaptation planning, and resilience strategy to help our clients anticipate physical risks, reduce exposure, and integrate climate considerations into planning, operation, and investment decisions.

We support our clients in identifying practical and measurable opportunities to reduce emissions throughout the operation and maintenance phase of their assets. Our approach begins with an assessment of the company’s current operational performance, energy consumption patterns, emissions profile, and existing sustainability practices. Based on this diagnosis, we developed tailored decarbonization plans aligned with internationally recognized Net Zero objectives and climate frameworks.

We help transport infrastructure projects access sustainable capital by translating ESG, climate, and social performance into financing narratives, frameworks, and project pipelines.​

Our work supports governments, lenders, investors, and concessionaires in identifying eligible green and sustainable investments, aligning projects with international standards, and strengthening their position for green bonds, sustainability-linked loans, blended finance, and multilateral funding.

​​Environmental and Social assessment for Strategic Master Plan for the TCIAA

Environmental and Social assessment for Strategic Master Plan for the TCIAA

ALG was engaged by the Turks and Caicos Islands Airports Authority (TCIAA) to deliver an environmental and social assessment as part of the PPP process for the Strategic Master Plan, while simultaneously defining a network-wide environmental and social strategy across all TCIAA airports.​ ​

The study was designed to align with all current initiatives of the competent bodies in terms of socio-environmental guidelines, generating transformative action in the airport sector and supporting the continuous improvement of operational management, considering TCIAA Headquarters, the Sustainable Airport and the Green Airports frameworks in a cycle of continuous improvement.​

​Our approach combined a review of existing environmental and social studies with a forward-looking strategy. We assessed the main environmental and social risks associated with the PPP process, identified the technical studies required, and analysed the state of the art in environmental and social matters and climate change across the Turks and Caicos Islands. Building on this, we developed an Environmental and Social Management System with its main pillars and a proposed network-wide approach, while defining an action plan with performance indicators for future monitoring and follow-up.

Uvinza-Musongati Standard Gauge Railway

GCF Concept Note – Uvinza–Musongati Standard Gauge Railway

ALG prepared a Concept Note for submission to the Green Climate Fund (GCF) for an electrified railway connecting Burundi with Tanzania’s Dar es Salaam port. The project aims to improve regional logistics while supporting a modal shift from road to rail, reducing GHG emissions and promoting low-carbon transport infrastructure in East Africa.​

​The work focused on structuring the project’s climate rationale and sustainable finance narrative, demonstrating its contribution to climate mitigation, regional connectivity and resilient infrastructure. The Concept Note was aligned with key GCF eligibility criteria, including climate impact potential, paradigm shift potential, sustainable development benefits and country ownership.​

​Through this assignment, ALG supported the client in positioning the railway as a climate-aligned investment opportunity, linking infrastructure development with emissions reduction, trade competitiveness and long-term ESG value for the region.​

Hurghada International Airport - Egypt Airports ALG

Climate change assessment for the PPP structuring process of Hurghada International Airport — Egypt Airports Programme

ALG was engaged by IFC to deliver a climate change assessment for Hurghada Airport in Egypt, as part of the PPP process design for the airport's future development and investment framework.​

The assessment was designed to provide an evaluation of the airport's exposure to climate-related hazards, combining physical risk analysis with a forward-looking mitigation and resilience strategy, ensuring that climate considerations were fully embedded into the PPP structure and its associated CAPEX and OPEX requirements.​

Our approach covered the full climate risk and decarbonisation spectrum. We assessed Egypt's climate commitments and regulatory framework, including the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC), the National Climate Change Strategy 2050, and aviation-specific international obligations, before conducting a detailed analysis of the airport's exposure to six climate hazards. Building on this, we evaluated the severity of physical climate impacts at asset level and identified adaptation and resilience measures, translating findings into a CAPEX and OPEX investment plan. In parallel, we developed a full carbon footprint across Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions and assessed mitigation options, carbon finance opportunities, and co-benefits of adaptation and resilience measures.

Sustainable finance frameworks for ESG-Linked Financing

Sustainable Finance Frameworks for ESG-Linked Financing

ALG advised clients on the development of ESG assessments and Sustainable Finance Frameworks to improve access to green, social and sustainability-linked financing. The work helped clients translate their sustainability priorities into clear financing strategies, eligible project categories and measurable ESG commitments aligned with international market expectations.​

​We defined the ESG value proposition, conducted materiality assessments, and established project eligibility criteria for green, social and sustainability investments. The frameworks covered environmental projects such as renewable energy, energy efficiency and waste management, as well as social projects linked to access to essential services, community benefits and positive social outcomes.​

​For sustainability-linked financing, ALG supported the definition of relevant KPIs and Sustainability Performance Targets (SPTs), linking financing conditions to measurable improvements in corporate ESG performance rather than to a specific project. The work ensured alignment with recognised standards such as ICMA and the Loan Market Association, strengthening the credibility of the frameworks and their readiness for lenders and investors.

​ALG’s work included a review of relevant environmental and social regulations at municipal, regional and national levels, as well as an assessment of potential impacts associated with airport operations and planned infrastructure developments. The analysis also considered the role of the regional airport network in improving connectivity for remote communities and supporting Panama’s economic development.​

​The assignment also included a climate change assessment to identify policy requirements, international references and resilience considerations for future airport infrastructure. This provided Tocumen with a structured ESG perspective to inform the planning, prioritisation and development of its regional airport network.
