The Nature Conservancy in cooperation with several large companies have worked on  environmentally-sound business practices that align with and protect natural processes. The work has proven that using green infrastructure can be part of  good business strategy and can lead to better outcomes for companies. Download TNC's Green Infrastructure Case Studies to review some of these collaborations.  

Some conclusions from the different projects:
  • there is need for more green pilot-scale work to generate data for the green infrastructure field
  • grey infrastructure is quicker than green
  • green infrastructure is cleaner and often more resilient in the long-term
  • green solutions are site dependent and grey is more replicable
  • green solutions need much less operational support
  • green infrastructure solutions require training of contractors
  • there is a need for better understanding of what circumstances green/hybrid/grey is cost effective investments
