The International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) and the MAVA Foundation developed the Sustainable Asset Valuation (SAVi) to help policy-makers and investors make informed decisions on infrastructure financing. SAVi allows us to evaluate the financial attractiveness of an infrastructure project across the life cycle, taking into account important environmental, social, economic and governance factors that are overlooked in a traditional valuation.
IISD is an independent think tank championing sustainable solutions to 21st-century problems. Our mission is to promote human development and environmental sustainability.
The MAVA Foundation was established in 1994 and is a family-led, Swiss-based philanthropic foundation with offices in Switzerland and Senegal. The MAVA Foundation works toward securing a future where biodiversity flourishes, especially in the Mediterranean, West Africa and Switzerland; advancing a global economy that supports human prosperity and a healthy planet; and promoting a thriving conservation community.
