ABB partners with World Green Building Council to drive sustainable building practices
ABB’s Smart Buildings Division has announced a new collaboration with the World Green Building Council’s (WorldGBC) European Regional Network (ERN), aimed at advancing sustainable, energy efficient building practices across Europe. ABB has joined WorldGBC’s European Regional Network as a Regional Knowledge Partner to drive progress in low carbon, energy efficient buildings that align with Europe’s sustainability goals.
Leveraging its expertise in electrical and automation technologies, ABB also aims to collaborate with industry leaders to advance innovative customer solutions. This partnership will provide ABB with access to a robust network of experts and member organisations, fostering valuable insights and feedback. Together, they will contribute to meeting key sustainability frameworks, such as the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), while supporting a cohesive approach to shaping building policy across Europe.
The World Green Building Council is dedicated to accelerating sustainability in the built environment, working with governments, businesses and organisations to drive systemic change around the world.
“With buildings responsible for approximately 30% of final energy consumption and for 26% of global GHG emissions, the opportunity for impact is enormous,” said Mike Mustapha, President of ABB Electrification’s Smart Buildings Division. “Our collaboration with the World Green Building Council’s European network will support ABB’s efforts to share expertise and partner with organisations that maintain similar values and ambitions toward a sustainable, low carbon future. Together, we have the potential to advance smarter, more energy efficient buildings across Europe that foster resilient, inclusive communities.”
Laura Pallares, Head of the Europe Regional Network (ERN), WorldGBC, said: “We couldn’t be more delighted that ABB has joined us as a regional member. The journey to Net Zero relies on partnerships and collaboration with like-minded organisations. Through our mutual vision for electrifying the built environment and commitment to sustainability, the opportunities for progress are endless.”
