Beyond the greening of the commercial, industrial and residential property sectors in South Africa, the GBCSA is also committed to engaging around sustainability and green building on a social and environmental level.
Leading the transformation of the South African property industry to environmental sustainability.
The GBCSA works in collaboration with its membership community to inspire a built environment in which people and planet thrive.
We advocate solutions and tools that enable the design, construction and operation of all building in an environmentally sustainable way. It is our vision that all South African live and work in healthy, efficient and productive environments.
