GBCA CEO receives international sustainability award

Romilly Madew, CEO of the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA), has received the World Green Building Council (WorldGBC) Chairman’s Award.

Madew received the award from Tai Lee Siang, WorldGBC Chairman, at a ceremony in Jaipur, India.

The WorldGBC Chairman’s Award honours people who have contributed to the transformation of the global property and construction industry.

“Since 2006, Romilly has been at the forefront of a global movement to change the shape of our buildings, communities and cities,” Tai said.

“Not only has Romilly been instrumental in transforming Australia’s building industry through her sustained leadership and advocacy, but she has played a vital role at the global level.”

Under Madew’s leadership, the GBCA has certified more than 1715 sustainable buildings, communities and fit-outs under the Green Star rating system.

Today, 37% of Australia’s office space has Green Star certification. Schools, hospitals, libraries, community centres, apartments, industrial facilities and the Sydney Opera House have achieved Green Star ratings.
