The FAST-Infra Label is a globally applicable label for projects demonstrating significant positive sustainability performance.
It is designed to enable all market players, including developers, operators, and investors to show the positive impact of an infrastructure asset, and attract investors seeking assets which positively contribute to sustainable outcomes.
It introduces credibility, impartiality and technical rigour in the labelling of sustainable infrastructure.

A unifying key tool for driving capital into sustainable infrastructure

Investors are hungry for exposure to sustainable infrastructure, but they also seek greater confidence in the impact of assets. By providing a simple, practical framework to communicate sustainability credentials, FAST Infra’s SI label should provide clarity to investors and developers, helping guide capital allocations towards the sector. It’s a superb example of cross-sector collaboration and we look forward to working with Bloomberg and GIB, two highly-respected thought leaders at the forefront of the energy transition, to make it a global success.

The World Bank remains committed to promoting green, resilient, and inclusive growth through sustainable infrastructure. I am pleased to see the FAST-Infra Label reach this momentous milestone. It is a unique, industry-led tool to build coherency and raise sustainability standards in the market. I look forward to the next stage of its broad adoption.

Setting standards for infrastructure projects to be labelled as sustainable is critical to achieving the FAST-Infra goal of supporting the development of sustainable infrastructure as an asset class. This announcement is about more than infrastructure. It’s about key industry players coming together to establish a template for standardization and collaboration that I’m optimistic can be applied to other sustainable projects and global problems.

FAST-Infra will help bridge the massive investment gap in sustainable infrastructure thanks to a remarkably diligent effort of a global coalition of leading institutions, organizations, and individuals. The appointment of Global Infrastructure Basel (GIB) and Bloomberg, who will implement and run the FAST-Infra “Sustainable Infrastructure label” secretariat and data repository starting in 2023, is a significant step in our implementation mission. We look forward to supporting Bloomberg and GIB’s efforts to deploy the FISI label and make it a universal standard.

Driving capital into sustainable infrastructure is one of the world’s greatest priorities to secure a safe future for people and the planet. The Sustainable Infrastructure Label of the FAST Infra Initiative represents a unifying key tool in this urgent effort. By making investors’ exposure to environmental and social risks, but also opportunities and positive impact more transparent, it will also help to attract a broader range of asset owners to this market.

Daniel Wiener

President of the Board, GIB

This effort will help drive more capital to sustainable infrastructure by providing the data and transparency investors need to make informed decisions. It will create healthy competition among developers for smarter, more sustainable infrastructure and provide new investment opportunities for companies working to reach net-zero.

Michael R. Bloomberg

Founder,
Bloomberg LP and Bloomberg Philanthropies

You can be part of this movement, by the FAST-Infra Group, and lead the transition to a sustainable future.

Sponsors, Investors & Developers

Signal the sustainability of your project and attract financing to develop it
Using FAST-Infra Label, Project Sponsors can ensure high environmental, social, governance and resiliency best practices into new infrastructure at the design and construction and operation phases. They can also use the simple, practical framework offered by FAST-Infra Label to communicate sustainability credentials of their projects with reliable data, allowing alignment of interests around ESG needs and attract investors.

Financiers

Invest and contribute to the development of a liquid asset class that leads to positive sustainable outcomes
FAST-Infra Label provides clarity to investors and developers, helping guide capital allocations towards sustainable infrastructure and aids in monitoring risks. Investors can trust that their money is going to projects that meet credible environmental, social, resiliency, and governance needs and contribute to the SDGs. This will inform investors’ ESG due-diligence processes.

Governments & Public Entities

Drive and support market-led transition to sustainability
On the grounds that only assets incorporating such best practices will obtain the label, FAST-Infra can ensure that governments embed high environmental, social, governance and resiliency standards into the regulation of infrastructure development and financing. This will enable the flow of private capital into sustainable infrastructure through a globally consistent labelling system.

The importance of building resilience and adaptive capacity in sustainable infrastructure investments

There is an urgent need for resilience and adaptability in sustainable infrastructure investments as climate-induced disruptions become more frequent. Failing infrastructure can disrupt lives and economies, underlining the critical role of sustainable infrastructure development. The FAST-Infra Label framework offers a pathway to enhance resilience, reduce vulnerabilities, and ensure long-term adaptation, protecting both physical assets and the well-being of communities and industries. We need to build more resilient and adaptive infrastructure, that not only safeguards physical assets but also bolsters communities, industries, and interconnected systems.
