GBPN works with government to reform building policy, improve building efficiency and put sustainable strategy into action.
As an independent organisation GBPN will always represent local interests first, working collaboratively to achieve local policy goals and connecting governments to local experts wherever possible.
Our coalitions bring local experts, influencers and building practitioners together, supported by GBPN’s world-leading knowledge and processes.
We understand the needs of government, cities and regions. It’s why we track the immediate benefits of sustainable projects and policies; showcasing the health, productivity and economical impact, as well as the cost of in-action.
It’s a committed, collaborative approach, following a proven four stage policy development cycle: Planning, Adopting, Implementing, and Learning.
Whether on a project-by-project or long-term basis, GBPN can provide the specific knowledge, support and technical assistance to develop a locally focused plan. Together, we can achieve a zero-emission goal for your building sector.
