Cover Story: Infrastructure development has traditionally focused on minimizing negative impacts in areas such as water and air quality, soil erosion, biodiversity and waste, and avoiding damage beyond pre-project baselines. Industry frameworks, standards and rating schemes must evolve to not only avoid damage but contribute positively to social and ecological systems. This research explores the feasibility of using an existing benchmarking methodology called Ecological Performance Standards (EPS) to facilitate mainstreaming regenerative performance expectations in infrastructure development. A matrix is introduced to map ecosystem services against infrastructure sustainability rating scheme credits and categories, demonstrating significant opportunities for a new 'business-as-usual'.
