The governance structure of the FAST-Infra Label is inspired by Green Bond Principles, and ensures equal participation from stakeholders with diverse backgrounds: financial services, Public and Private banks sectors, multilateral agencies, civil society, NGOs, developers and more.
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 now revolves around three complementary axes:
FAST-Infra is now incorporated as FAST-Infra Group (FIG), a multi-stakeholder non-profit association under French law.
Steering Committee
The Steering Committee is the main decision-making governance body of the FAST-Infra Label and contributes to the development of the Label through strategic and content-related decision-making. The committee supports the Secretariat, by enhancing the Label's position in the infrastructure sector, and providing their diverse experience and insight. Members also actively provide input on FAST-Infra Label content by leading relevant working groups.
