Green Building Council South Africa is a non-profit organisation at the forefront of advancing sustainable practices in the property and construction sectors.
Yesterday afternoon, I addressed the annual @GBCSA Convention in Cape Town, where I announced that the Department of Public Works & Infrastructure has officially joined the Green Building Council of South Africa.
We will be leading by example: training our officials as accredited professionals, certifying our buildings, and embedding sustainability into everything we build and manage.
Because it’s not only about sustainability — it’s about growing our economy and creating jobs.
