Global Infrastructure Partners

Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP) is an asset management firm founded in 2006 and led by Founding Partner, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer Adebayo Ogunlesi. The firm focuses on infrastructure investments including energy, digital, water and waste, with approximately $112 billion in AUM as of August 2024.

As of the end of July 2024, of the energy companies found in its portfolio, 59 percent have fossil fuel assets.

The company is the majority investor in the development of Rio Grande LNG terminal in Brownsville, TX. The terminal would be built on the sacred land of the Carrizo Comecrudo Tribe of Texas, but Rio Grande LNG, regulatory agencies and banks have all failed to adequately consult with the tribe on local impacts. Additionally, the facilities would significantly degrade local fishing, shrimping, and natural tourism industries, putting communities’ livelihoods at risk. Frontline community members from the South Texas Environmental Justice Network, the Carrizo Comecrudo Tribe, and advocates, met with GIP in person in June of 2024 to raise the environmental, Indigenous rights, community concerns, and financial risks associated with the LNG terminal.
