Capita Symonds has joined the UK Green Building Council
(UK-GBC), emphasising our commitment to sustainability in the
built environment.
As a major consultant across all building design disciplines,
delivering innovative, affordable and appropriate sustainable
solutions is a major focus for Capita Symonds. The partnership with
the UK-GBC will enable us to join forces with other leading
businesses to share knowledge and encourage best practice across
the industry.
Their membership indicates their enthusiasm for the sustainability journey and their knowledge across multi-disciplines will be invaluable
UK-GBC is a not-for-profit membership organisation campaigning
for a sustainable built environment. Uniquely, it brings together
architects, engineers, financiers, product manufacturers, cost
consultants, energy suppliers, surveyors, developers, contractors,
occupiers and others with an impact on the sustainability of the
built environment.
Jonathan Goring, Managing Director,
Capita Symonds, says: “Membership of UK-GBC highlights our
support for the need to transform the way our industry plans,
designs, constructs, maintains and operates the built environment.
UK-GBC gives us a unique forum for sharing information, advancing
green building knowledge and influencing both government and
industry. We look forward to working with members towards making
the UK-GBC’s vision a reality.”
Paul King, UK-GBC chief executive, said: "We're
delighted to have Capita Symonds on board. Their membership
indicates their enthusiasm for the sustainability journey and their
knowledge across multi-disciplines will be invaluable. I look
forward to involving them in our ongoing programme of work as we
step up our campaign for radical transformation in the
sustainability of the built environment."
