We educate

We educate industry, government practitioners and decision-makers, and promote green building programs, technologies, design practices and operations.

We advocate

We advocate policies and programs that support our vision and purpose.

We collaborate

Our members are key enablers in supporting us to achieve our strategic objectives. We represent more than 650 members, comprising over 400 small-to-medium enterprises and 27 companies listed in the ASX200.

Our five priority focus areas to address the global risks presented by climate change are:
