What Types of Companies Are Eligible for the Local Content Most Trusted Infrastructure Companies List?

The Local Content Most Trusted Infrastructure Companies List recognizes organizations that demonstrate verified compliance, accountability, and trust in delivering infrastructure and public-private development projects. Eligible companies operate across the full infrastructure lifecycle and play a material role in planning, financing, building, operating, supplying, or supporting infrastructure projects.

Companies are evaluated through the standardized Local Content Company Compliance, Risk & Trust Assessment (100 points), which verifies an organization’s capacity, readiness, and demonstrated intent to deliver measurable outcomes in:

Local and domestic supply chain participation
Workforce development and job creation
Community benefit investments
Stakeholder engagement
Transparency, reporting, and compliance practices

Assessment results determine eligibility for inclusion on the Most Trusted Infrastructure Companies List and provide public, third-party verification that an organization is positioned to deliver infrastructure projects with reduced execution, compliance, and reputational risk.

Company classifications are listed in order of capital influence and operational impact, not importance.
