FAST-Infra\u2014the \u2018F<\/strong>inance to A<\/strong>ccelerate the S<\/strong>ustainable T<\/strong>ransition-Infra<\/strong>structure<\/a>\u2019 Initiative\u2014has today opened an 8-week public consultation on a new sustainable infrastructure labelling system.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new FAST-Infra Sustainable Infrastructure Label (SI Label) is designed to enable project sponsors, developers and owners to signal the positive sustainability impact of infrastructure assets, and attract investors seeking assets which positively contribute to sustainable outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The joint venture is established by HSBC, IFC (International Finance Corporation), OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development), GIF (Global Infrastructure Facility) and CPI (Climate Policy Initiative). It aims to increase the flow of private finance to emerging markets sustainable infrastructure in order to create pipelines of bankable projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is a new label needed?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The SI Label aims to close the trillion-dollar sustainable infrastructure investment gap, with urgency, by transforming sustainable infrastructure into a mainstream, liquid asset class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A key objective is to provide consistency regarding the quality and sustainability of assets in the market, drawing in more institutional investors at the post-construction phase and scaling up private financing volumes for suitable projects in emerging markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The label certification aims to increase financing potential, and in turn to motivate governments to design more projects with sustainability criteria at their core, and encourage developers to maintain high environmental, social and resiliency standards at all stages of the infrastructure lifecycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is covered in the new label?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The SI Label is broadly aligned with the UN SDGs and G20 Principles for QII, and draws upon best practice from existing frameworks, standards, and taxonomies. It will introduce a series of 14 baseline and \u2018positive contribution\u2019 criteria (\u2018Sustainability Objectives\u2019) against four dimensions of sustainability \u2013 environmental, social, governance and adaptation & resilience. Each criterion is further described by reference to existing standards and associated with a series of indicative KPIs and methodologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What action do you need to take?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The FAST-infra initiative is inviting feedback from all stakeholders. The deadline for submitting comments for this consultation has now passed.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
