Engineers Against Poverty (EAP) Chair Richard Threlfall has joined the FAST-Infra Label Executive Advisory Committee as a civil society representative.

The FAST-Infra Label is a globally applicable framework designed to help identify and promote sustainable and resilient infrastructure and, ultimately, mobilise greater investment towards projects that deliver positive environmental, social and governance outcomes. These priorities closely align with EAP’s work to ensure infrastructure investment delivers better outcomes for people and the planet.

Richard joins an Executive Advisory Committee comprising more than 60 senior leaders from financial services, multilateral development banks, civil society, academia and the private sector. The Executive Advisory Committee acts as FAST-Infra’s formal stakeholder forum, providing feedback on the Label’s content, strategy and implementation and electing members of its Steering Committee.

Richard said “I am delighted to bring my combination of infrastructure market and sustainability expertise to help EAP continue to bring a strong civil society perspective to FAST-Infra – particularly on how sustainable infrastructure standards can support transparency, good governance and investment that delivers meaningful benefits for communities.”
