The Awards are divided into two categories:
Business Leadership in Sustainability Award
The Business Leadership in Sustainability Award rrecognises companies which are truly integrating sustainability into their business models and contributing to the transition towards a sustainable built environment. These organisations understand that sustainability presents a long-term business opportunity, demonstrate sustainable practices within their internal and external operations, and show sustainability leadership within industry.
Leadership in Sustainable Design and Performance Award
The Leadership in Sustainable Design and Performance Awardrecognises pioneering green building projects that deliver a range of benefits through a holistic approach to sustainability. These projects go beyond simply minimising their impact by considering factors that lead to positive outcomes for both the environment and for people. There are three sub categories under this award: residential, commercial and institutional (schools, hospitals, etc.).
Nomination Elegibility
The awards are open to companies and green building projects of all sizes across the region. Nominations must be through recognised Green Building Councils in Asia Pacific countries.
Why are the Awards significant?
60 per cent of the world’s population (4.3 billion people) live in the Asia Pacific region, with more than 2 billion living in urban areas - a figure that is set to reach 3.3 billion by 2050.
Set against this backdrop of growth, creating buildings that are low or zero carbon is essential to ensure a high quality of life for people, minimise negative impacts on the environment, and maximise economic opportunities.
The Awards are the only ones to recognise green building achievements across the whole of the Asia Pacific region. The 2014 Awards were hugely successful, with over 128 nominations from 15 countries in the region.
