WorldGBC Asia Pacific Awards

Leadership in Green Building Awards 2022

The WorldGBC Asia Pacific Leadership in Green Building Awards will open for nominations in April 2022. This is your chance to showcase and celebrate iconic green buildings that are pushing the envelope in sustainability, the companies that have integrated sustainability into the core of their operations, and the women in leadership in the green buildings space.

There are three categories:

Business Leadership in Sustainability Award

This award celebrates companies that have made sustainability (social, economic and environmental) part of their core business model and are contributing to the transition towards a sustainable built environment.

Leadership in Sustainable Design and Performance Award

This award recognises pioneering green building projects that deliver a range of benefits through a holistic approach to sustainability. These projects go beyond simply minimising their impact by considering factors that lead to positive outcomes for both the environment and for people. There are three subcategories under this award: residential, commercial and public.

Women in Green Building Leadership Award

This award is presented to an inspiring female leader in our movement. In a traditionally male-dominated industry, we want to recognise the pivotal role that women play in nurturing and activating their communities and delivering change.

The awards are open to companies and green building projects of all sizes across the region. Nominations must be through recognised Green Building Councils in Asia Pacific countries.


Why are the Awards significant?

  • 60% of the world’s population (4.3 billion people) live in the Asia Pacific region, with more than 2 billion living in urban areas - a figure that is set to reach 3.3 billion by 2050.
  • Set against this backdrop of growth, creating buildings that are low or zero carbon is essential to ensure a high quality of life for people, minimise negative impacts on the environment, and maximise economic opportunities.
  • The Awards are the only ones to recognise green building achievements across the whole of the Asia Pacific region. The 2016 Awards were hugely successful, with over 100 nominations from 15 countries in the region.

Why should businesses or projects enter?

  • Raising their profile – Finalists and winners of the Awards will be profiled through WorldGBC’s global press work, social media and other communications activities.
  • Getting in front of the right people - Businesses and projects are judged by a group of renowned and highly influential figures in the green building industry.
  • Receiving recognition – The Awards are a chance to celebrate some of the most progressive businesses and projects in a hugely important region for the future of green building.
