Leadership is absolutely critical to UKGBC’s mission to radically improve the sustainability of the built environment, and our Leaders’ Network consists of like-minded individuals dedicated to driving transformational change across the sector. It is made up of over 100 CEOs and Board Executives from the UKGBC membership who come together on a quarterly basis to learn and network. Through the network, we provide inspiration and share stories and insights about sustainability leadership to instill a collective sense of purpose. We want to create a common vision – that of a built environment that enables people and planet to thrive.

We bring our leaders together to engage in a programme of inspiration, knowledge sharing and networking. Leaders’ Network events are designed specifically for a senior business audience and attract high calibre speakers from our industry and well beyond. These experiences inspire and challenge in equal measure, providing the Network with the stories, business examples, and insights to take to their business and accelerate positive change. We also proactively identify opportunities for the Leaders’ Network to engage with the leaders of tomorrow, by providing links to our other leadership initiatives such as Future Leaders and Change Accelerator programmes.

The WorldGBC Net Zero Carbon Buildings Commitment (the Commitment) challenges companies, cities, states and regions to reach net zero building emissions in their portfolios by 2030 and to advocate for a net zero carbon built environment by 2050.  

The Commitment was launched in 2018 to tackle operational carbon and updated in September 2021 to incorporate embodied carbon requirements for all new buildings and major refurbishments under a signatory’s direct control (find our more about the update here). The Commitment promotes aggressive reduction-first strategies, with residual emissions being compensated for via offsets. The Commitment is also recognised as a pathway to achieving the global

This page provides information for UK-based organisations interested in the Commitment. For full details on the Commitment and the global list of signatories, please visit . 

UK companies

The Commitment is especially relevant to organisations wanting to lead the transition to net zero buildings in light of the UK’s net zero target. Signatories demonstrate real action by setting an advanced trajectory to achieve net zero in their own portfolio by 2030, and can help to inspire their own customers and supply chain on the net zero journey. 

A total of 58 UKGBC members have currently signed up to the Commitment (representing almost half of global signatories).
