The FAST-Infra Label is a credible, consistent, and globally applicable labelling system designed to identify and evaluate sustainable infrastructure projects, with the overarching objective of supporting infrastructure and creating a liquid asset class.

The FAST-Infra Sustainable Infrastructure® (FAST-Infra) Label will

Define and measure sustainability contribution and credentials.
Increase market trust and confidence around the sustainability of infrastructure assets.
Inform investment decision-making and attract private investment into infrastructure.
Encourage new financial product development (e.g. sustainable infrastructure funds and platforms).
Enable the development of a secondary financial market (e.g. indices, bonds, securitization).
Support alignment with regulatory compliance and disclosure initiatives (e.g. EU Taxonomy, Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation, Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures.

The FAST-Infra Label is based on a comprehensive and evolving framework, ensuring data transparency at all stages.

Application of the FAST-Infra Label enables comparability of metrics across sustainable infrastructure assets. It informs developers of best practices and streamlines their ability to get an initial review before financing a sustainable infrastructure project. It is a one-stop solution for sustainability labelling.

The FAST-Infra Label establishes cohesion that builds on, and complements, other standards and guidelines in the market.

A key motivation behind the FAST-Infra Label is not to reinvent the wheel, but rather build on existing standards, frameworks, and taxonomies to create a comprehensive framework and set of sustainability criteria that takes into account best practices and evolves with changes in the market. This was done as a result of an extensive mapping against 25+ leading standards, frameworks, and principles in the market.
The FAST-Infra Sustainable Infrastructure Framework sets out requirements and guidance for market participants seeking to apply the FAST-Infra Label for infrastructure assets.

The FAST-Infra framework is based on four ‘dimensions’ of sustainability:

Environmental

Governance

Resilience

Credibility of the FISI Label is endorsed by leading organisations with a wealth of experience in the sustainable infrastructure sector.

FAST Initiative is born out of a collaboration between HSBC, the OECD, the IFC, the Global Infrastructure Facility (GIF) and the Climate Policy Initiative (CPI), under the auspices of the One Planet Summit. Over time, it has grown into a broad and inclusive public-private partnership.
Supported by more than 80 public and private institutions, FAST-Infra aims to close the current investment gap in sustainable infrastructure. Its strategy revolves around three complementary axes:
