The Green Building Individual Awards Category accords recognition to like-minded individuals from across the building and construction value chain for their consistent contribution and outstanding achievements in this challenging yet fulfilling journey towards greater environmental sustainability in the built environment. This initiative will go a long way in raising the profile and ensuring the retention of capable professionals and practitioners in the industry.
