The United States, Japan, and Australia welcome the United Kingdom joining the Steering Committee of the Blue Dot Network.  The Blue Dot Network certification will serve as a globally recognized symbol of quality infrastructure projects.

Blue Dot Network member countries work to ensure infrastructure meets the fiscal, social, environmental, and governance standards that benefit all users and stakeholders in our respective societies.  Pilot projects using Blue Dot Network criteria have demonstrated the certification process is an effective means of ensuring the roads, bridges, information networks, and energy grids we use benefit local economic development and adhere to international standards, laws, and regulations.

After today’s announcement, we welcome more partners signing on to the future of sustainable and inclusive infrastructure development around the world by joining the Blue Dot Network.
