The Asia Pacific Leadership in Green Building Awards has been showcasing leadership in people, business and projects behind the sustainable building movement across Asia since 2014.This year, the awards will be celebrated during a pivotal event in World Green Building Council's (WorldGBC)calendar : The Asia Pacific 2022 Festival which coincides with our 20th Anniversary.

Led by the WorldGBC Asia Pacific Network, together with 15 Green Building Councils across the region, the awards contain three categories : celebrating the inspiring business leaders by example, iconic buildings showcasing the best in green design and inspiring female leadership across the region. All of these align with WorldGBC's latest strategic impact areas and our Beyond the Business Case Report, helping to create a more purposeful and empowering sustainable environment in the Asia Pacific region.

Green building has reached a new horizon in the region, thanks to the industry's vision and innovation. To reflect this evolution, the 2022 Awards will focus on alignment with WorldGBC's three impact areas: Climate Action - Advancing Net Zero, Health & Wellbeing and Resource & Circularity.

The earlier four editions of APN awards held in 2014, 2016, 2018 & 2020 were a huge success and received tremendous support from organisations, projects and individuals across the Asia Pacific region.
