UK Green Building Council
The UK Green Building Council (UK-GBC) was launched in February 2007 to bring cohesion to the green building movement. The Government's ‘Sustainable Buildings Task Group’ had earlier reported that no one body or organisation concerned with sustainability was providing clear direction for the sector as a whole. The UK-GBC was established to fulfil this role.
We are a campaign for a sustainable built environment and our task is to bring clarity, purpose and co-ordination of strategy to the sector.
We are a membership organisation, consisting of businesses from across the industry, all of whom believe the challenge of sustainability is an opportunity, not a threat. In addition to industry, our members include NGOs, academic institutions and government agencies.
All our members are committed to campaigning for action – by government, by the industry, by whoever has role to play to deliver on our mission.
The UK-GBC is part of the World Green Building Council federation, membership of which is growing as new national green building councils are established across the globe.
