What are Green Building Councils (GBCs)?
Green Building Councils are member-based organizations that partner with industry and government in the transformation of their building industries towards sustainability through the adoption of green building practices. GBCs are often involved in influencing governmental policy, sharing knowledge and information, organizing events and workshops, developing or adapting rating tools to a particular market, and creating green building networks across the different elements of the building industry. On the ground in nearly 70 countries, GBCs create change in their local markets as a way to globalize environmentally and socially responsible building practices.
