Our Europe Regional Network is an official partner of the EC's BUILD UP initiative.
Member organisations
National Green Building Councils are the members of WorldGBC, with around 25 GBCs in the Europe Regional Network.
GBCs are themselves membership organisations, with around 5,000 members across the region, consisting of mostly building sector members, and also NGOs, universities, financial institutions, municipalities and other relevant interest groups.
The Europe Regional Network represents the diverse interests of this multi-stakeholder membership model in driving sustainability in the built environment.
6 companies who are members of several national GBCs (BASF, E.ON, Knauf Insulation, Saint-Gobain, Skanska, UTC) are also Regional Partners to the Europe Regional Network. -

Other financial info
The Europe Regional Network's total funding in 2016 is EUR 180,000, provided by 6 Regional Partners. This funds all Network activities in the Europe region, so core global WorldGBC budget is not reported in full here.
The EU Horizon 2020 funding reported above does not go to WorldGBC, but to 14 GBC across the Europe Regional Network for a joint project on implementation of the Energy Efficiency Directive - so is reported here as it relates to our joint policy work programme in the region.
National GBCs that are members of the Europe Regional Network and who work with the Network on our joint policy work programme have separate budgets which are supported by membership income, grants, and a mix of other revenues (from green building certification, education, events and other activities). All GBCs are not for profits, and reinvest all income in their mission.
World Green Building Council global financials are transparently stated in full in our annual reports.
