About Singapore Green Building Council

The inauguration of the Singapore Green Building Council (SGBC) opens a significant chapter in Singapore’s commitment towards creating a sustainable built environment. It is an industry-led initiative which works towards convergence of all stakeholders in green building on a common resource- and knowledge-base.

The mission of the SGBC will be to propel the Singapore building and construction industry towards environmental sustainability by promoting green building design, practices and technologies, the integration of green building initiatives into mainstream design, construction and operation of buildings  as well as building capability and professionalism to support wider adoption of green building development and practices in Singapore. Its work will complement and support the government’s efforts to accelerate the greening of our buildings by 2030. At the same time we will be able to share our knowledge with other countries in our climatic zone.

The SGBC is honoured to have Singapore’s Minister for National Development, Mr Mah Bow Tan, as its Founding Patron. SGBC also has the strong support from the Building and Construction Authority of Singapore. The SGBC Founding Board comprises industry chieftains and prominent figures across the building and construction value chain. They are esteemed to be subject-matter experts of their respective domains and their wealth of technical knowledge and experience are of immense value to the Singapore building and construction industry as a whole.
