Programme Partners

What does it mean to be a Programme Partner?

Our Programme Partners work closely with UKGBC to give key industry insights to our projects and plans. The four drivers for programme partnership are:

• Philanthropic​ – The right thing to do for the benefit  of all.
• Learning and Upskilling – Staff development, peer to peer learning.
• Enhanced Delivery – Working closely with UKGBC teams on projects, steering the direction of work and collaboration to drive action.
• Demonstrating Leadership – Showcasing your sustainability leadership.

Beyond advancing our shared ambitions and supporting the realisation of critical industry targets, members partnering on UKGBC programmes will also gain multiple direct benefits including:

Driving meaningful impact: 

• Your organisation will enable the programme and facilitate progress and positive impact in the built environment.
• You will take a steering role, helping to shape the programme or initiative and its associated outputs, as well as how those outputs are conveyed to the industry and government to maximise impact and uptake.
• You will have a position on each of the programme or initiative related groups (steering, advisory, working, or task) that can be taken up by a member of your team to give input into the delivery of the agreed outputs, activities, or campaigns.

Raising your brand profile:

• Your organisation will receive brand recognition via the inclusion of your organisation’s logo on all programmatic activities (e.g., reports, videos, presentation slides) and through available speaking opportunities.
• You will receive bespoke social media assets to help promote your organisation’s support of the programme/initiative.
• You will be given opportunities to present at events, such as announcements, launches, and post-launch industry engagements.

Extending your network:

• Your organisation will have the opportunity to collaborate with other industry leaders and build relationships with peers through regular Partnership interactions and related events.
• You will have access to a broad network across the built environment value chain, allowing you to extend your organisation’s reach and build new relationships with clients and suppliers.

Developing your staff:

• Individuals will gain unique experience and improve their knowledge through participation and direct knowledge exchange
• Individuals will engage with a diverse set of stakeholders from across the industry and collaborate to co-create tangible solutions
