As more and more infrastructure developers, contractors and sub-contractors participate, the blockchain-based contract management system could become a driver for increased standardisation and automation in the infrastructure sector. Similar to the environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards that are applied in infrastructure investments, a blockchain-based contract management standard could also be developed as additional consideration for infrastructure development projects. Implementing the right measures for global infrastructure-related action (e.g. financing, certification, reporting and compliance) requires decision makers to have access to genuine, standardised and up-to-date information. However, today’s persistent operational challenges, especially in regards to transparency, auditability and interoperability of data, result in inefficient processes and unaligned activities.
