UK Green Building Council

The UK Green Building Council (UKGBC) is a United Kingdom membership organisation, formed in 2007, which aims to 'radically transform' the way that the built environment in the UK is planned, designed, constructed, maintained and operated.

The council is concerned about the environmental impact of buildings and infrastructure on the environment, in particular the use of water, materials, energy, the impact of greenhouse gas emissions, and the health of building occupants.

The organisation was founded in the autumn of 2006 and launched in February 2007[1] in response to the 2004 Sustainable Building Task Group Report Better Buildings - Better Lives,[2] which recommended the UK Government should "review the advisory bodies concerned with sustainable buildings to simplify and consolidate them and to provide clear direction to the industry" (para 1.8, p. 7).

[4] In February 2023, the UKGBC confirmed Smith Mordak as its new CEO from 1 June 2023.
