Mission Statement
The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) is the nation's foremost coalition of leaders from every sector of the building industry working to promote buildings that are environmentally responsible, profitable and healthy places to live and work. Our more than 7,500 member organizations and our network of 75 regional chapters are united to advance our mission of transforming the building industry to sustainability.
Core Purpose
The U.S. Green Building Council's core purpose is to transform the way buildings and communities are designed, built and operated, enabling an environmentally and socially responsible, healthy, and prosperous environment that improves the quality of life.
Goals and Actions
* The U.S. Green Building Council [USGBC] is leading a national consensus for producing a new generation of buildings that deliver high performance inside and out.
* Council members work together to develop LEED® products and resources, the Greenbuild annual International Conference and Expo, policy guidance, and educational and marketing tools that support the adoption of sustainable building.
* Members also forge strategic alliances with key industry and research organizations and federal, state and local government agencies to transform the built environment.
Council programs are: Committee-Based, Member-Driven, and Consensus-Focused
As the leading organization representing the entire industry on environmental building matters, our unique perspective and collective power provides our members with enormous opportunity to effect change in the way buildings are designed, built and maintained.
