UK Green Building Council

The UK Green Building Council (UK-GBC) was launched in February 2007 to bring clarity, purpose and co-ordination of sustainability strategy to the built environment sector. The government?s Sustainable Buildings Task Group had earlier reported that no one body or organisation was providing clear direction for the sector as a whole. The UK-GBC was established to fulfil this role. The UK-GBC is part of the World Green Building Council federation, membership of which is growing as new chapters are established across the globe.
