The FAST-Infra Label Framework is structured around four core dimensions of sustainability and is built on established international best practices, ensuring uniformity and comparability in evaluating sustainability performance of infrastructure across the global infrastructure finance market.

The FAST-Infra Label baseline indicators are drawn from 55 sources across 16 institutions, emphasizing the broad range of expertise that underpins it. In the chart below, we map the 16 institutions to the 14 FAST-Infra Label dimensions of sustainability. The flows represent the indicators drawn from each referenced institution. By clicking on a flow, you can visualize the number of indicators and the corresponding sources.

These 4 Dimensions are further detailed into 14 key criteria, addressing the full spectrum of sustainable development.

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:

Sustainable Infrastructure Label

Certifying the sustainability of infrastructure projects.

FAST-Infra Platform

Increasing the volume of bankable / financeable projects.

FAST-Infra Beyond

Accelerate innovation in the field of sustainable infrastructure.
FAST-Infra is now incorporated as FAST-Infra Group (FIG), a multi-stakeholder non-profit association under French law.

The FAST Infra Group has designated Global Infrastructure Basel Foundation (GIB) as the Secretariat and Bloomberg L.P. as Data Repository for the FISI Label. The governance structure is inspired by Green Bond Principles.
