We support the FAST-Infra initiative

We is proud to announce its active support of FAST-Infra, the ‘Finance to Accelerate the Sustainable Transition-Infrastructure’ initiative, and its contribution to the development of the Sustainable Infrastructure (SI) Label – a consistent, globally applicable labelling system designed to identify and evaluate sustainable infrastructure assets.

FAST-Infra which was created in early 2020 by the Climate Policy Initiative (CPI), HSBC, the International Finance Corporation (IFC), OECD, and the Global Infrastructure Facility.  It is now one of the prominent industry-led initiatives that aim to increase the flow of private sector financing to sustainable infrastructure, with a focus on the emerging and developing world.

Over the last year, participation in FAST-Infra has quickly expanded to include over 80 institutions, representing key public and private stakeholders of the infrastructure ecosystem.

 

Identifying sustainable infrastructure assets

As part of this initiative,  we have contributed along with other institutions to the development of a Sustainable Infrastructure (SI) Label which launched at COP26.

The label is a globally applicable label for projects demonstrating significant positive sustainability performance. It is designed to enable developers and operators to show the positive impact of an infrastructure asset, and attract investors seeking assets that positively contribute to sustainable outcomes.

We are delighted and proud to have been part of the team that developed the FAST-infra Sustainable Infrastructure (SI) label.
