Sustainability is key to future infrastructure, but navigating multiple standards can be complex. The FAST-Infra Label simplifies this by integrating best practices from 55 global standards into four key dimensions—Environmental, Adaptation & Resilience, Social, and Governance—ensuring projects are sustainable, resilient, and inclusive.

Sustainable infrastructure drives economic growth while ensuring environmental and social resilience. Yet, a $6.9T annual investment gap persists. The FAST-Infra Label provides a global framework to standardize and promote sustainable projects, ensuring transparency, resilience, and compliance to bridge financing gaps and accelerate green investments.

The FAST-Infra Label launch at WEF 2025 marks a key milestone in closing the $15T infrastructure investment gap. With a global framework and Bloomberg’s new Application Portal, it streamlines certification and scales sustainable infrastructure financing.

The FAST-Infra Access Programme marks a significant milestone in accelerating the adoption of sustainable practices in infrastructure development. By bridging the gap between innovative project ideas and the resources needed to bring them to life, FAST-Infra Label is paving the way for a more sustainable, inclusive, and resilient future.

The FAST-Infra Label marks a major milestone in creating a consistent global metric across infrastructure for sustainability performance.

The global shift towards sustainability is transforming how investors approach infrastructure. As Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors gain increasing importance, they are reshaping capital allocation, especially in infrastructure. In our latest blog, we dive into the core principles of ESG, its vital role in infrastructure, and the challenges around ensuring transparency and credibility.

The FAST-Infra Label event at New York Climate Week highlighted how the Label is helping to drive investments in sustainable infrastructure by creating a unified framework to ensure transparency, comparability, and higher sustainability standards. Key insights focused on how the Label enhances transparency, drives investment, and sets higher sustainability standards, especially in emerging markets.

The article highlights the critical role contractors can play in advancing sustainable infrastructure, particularly in light of the construction industry's responsibility for nearly 40% of global energy-related carbon emissions. During a recent webinar hosted by CICA and FAST-Infra, industry leaders discussed the importance of certification and benchmarking to differentiate between high-quality and subpar projects. They emphasized the need for immediate action to bridge the sustainability gap and introduced the FAST-Infra Label as a tool to prevent greenwashing and streamline the certification process. The FAST-Infra initiative aims to address the $15 trillion infrastructure investment gap by 2040 and promote a regenerative approach to infrastructure that integrates local contexts and resource circularity. Contractors are encouraged to adopt the FAST-Infra Label to contribute actively to the future of sustainable infrastructure.

The FAST-Infra Label Training is a 2-day online course (Oct 29-30, 2024) teaching professionals to implement sustainable infrastructure projects using the FAST-Infra Label. It covers the Label's process, criteria, and benefits. Early bird registration ends Sept 18, 2024. Certification is included.

Global Infrastructure Basel Foundation (GIB), the Secretariat for the label unveiled its updated framework. Prominent speakers in infrastructure and finance discussed how the label helps address the finance challenge.

In a recent video interview, Nathalie Gaullier, label’s Global Programme Manager at the Global Infrastructure Basel (GIB) Foundation, shared important details about the critical role of infrastructure in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030.

The recent FAST-Infra Label Public Consultation conducted by the Secretariat of the Label serves as a crucial platform for engaging stakeholders from diverse sectors in shaping sustainable infrastructure development.

Join us for a dynamic conversation on how the FAST-Infra Label helps unlock private financing for advancing the infrastructure necessary for a sustainable, low-carbon economy.

The event paved the way for labelling infrastructure projects for investors and stakeholders, allowing them to identify sustainable projects. This blog aims to capture the important points and moments shared during the discussions through five key insights.

GIB as the FAST-Infra Secretariat extends an invitation to financiers, project developers, policymakers, and other stakeholders to join the Info Session on Public Consultation on the 23rd February 2024 from 10:00 am to 11:00 am CET.

Infrastructure is essential for how people live their lives today. It connects communities with transportation, delivers electricity that powers homes and provides clean water to drink. Infrastructure can have a profound and positive impact on our society and the people who use its structures. 

The FAST-Infra label represents more than just a mark of quality; it signifies a commitment to minimizing risk and enhancing transparency and accountability, all within a framework that adheres to the most current global standards.

Inclusive infrastructure prioritizes equitable benefits across social, economic, and demographic spectrums. The FAST-Infra Label framework encourages stakeholder engagement, addresses displacement concerns, and emphasises positive social impacts that align with global sustainability goals.

Sustainable infrastructure development plays a pivotal role in safeguarding biodiversity and the natural environment. Impact of infrastructure development is extremely project and site specific.

Adaptation and resilience are becoming increasingly relevant considerations for sustainable infrastructure due to the increased frequency of climate-induced disruptions.

The FAST-Infra Label is a globally applicable label for projects demonstrating significant positive sustainability performance. It serves to define and assess the sustainability impact and qualifications of infrastructure through a comprehensive and evolving framework.

The primary purpose of the Steering Committee is to contribute to the development of the FAST-Infra Label through strategic and content-related decision-making. This critical function will not only support the Secretariat but also enhance the FAST-Infra Label's position in the infrastructure sector, reinforcing its status as a beacon of excellence.

Global Infrastructure Basel Foundation (GIB) and Bloomberg L.P, as the Secretariat and data repository of the FAST-Infra Sustainable Infrastructure® (FAST-Infra) Label respectively, together invite Solar PV and Onshore Wind projects to the Initial FAST-Infra Rollout phase.
