GDI for Closure & Transition

Forward governance insight as long-term obligations crystallise

Closure & Transition Governance Decision Intelligence

Governing end-of-life obligations to protect owner accountability

Closure and transition represent one of the highest long-term exposure points for asset owners. Environmental obligations, rehabilitation commitments and post-closure responsibilities often extend well beyond operational life, with exposure shaped years earlier by decisions taken during execution and operations. Governance Decision Intelligence (GDI) provides owner-side governance insight at this stage by maintaining forward visibility over whether closure assumptions, rehabilitation pathways and post-closure responsibilities remain aligned with approved intent as regulatory, environmental and social conditions evolve. Operating above operators, advisors and regulators, GDI enables early recognition of emerging accountability gaps, residual exposure or legacy risk while authority remains clear and options for intervention still exist.

Purpose and Intent

To provide forward governance insight into whether closure, rehabilitation and post-closure obligations remain governable, defensible and aligned with approved intent under evolving conditions, enabling owners to address long-term environmental, social and accountability exposure before it crystallises.

Focus and Scope

Governance Decision Intelligence (GDI) focuses on the alignment between approved closure intent and emerging end-of-life conditions, including:

  • closure cost provisions and long-term funding adequacy
  • rehabilitation scope, sequencing and completion assumptions
  • regulatory expectations, approvals and dependency risk
  • environmental performance trends affecting closure readiness
  • post-closure monitoring requirements and residual obligation exposure
  • community transition commitments and reputational considerations

The focus is not on executing closure activities.
It is on whether closure and post-closure obligations remain achievable, governable and defensible as conditions evolve.
