GBI Organizational Membership

COLLABORATING TO IMPROVE THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT

Corporations, non-profits, government agencies, and other market leaders convene as GBI Members with a common bond; they support GBI’s commitment to development and delivery of rigorous yet accessible standards and resources to improve the sustainability, health & wellness, and resilience of the built environment.
