UKGBC Partnership Logo

Earlier this year, we become the only energy supplier member and now we are joining forces with them for a new partnership that will drive sustainable innovation, policy influence, and business growth across the built environment sector.

This collaboration aligns us with the UKGBC鈥檚 powerful network of around 700 sustainability-focused organisations, including developers, local authorities, contractors, and financial institutions; a high-impact platform for advancing climate action in construction.

鈥淒ecarbonising the built environment is a mouthful and it鈥檚 a big challenge,鈥� Ecotricity Founder Dale Vince OBE said. 鈥溁使谔逵齛pp鈥檙e fortunate to have UKGBC driving this agenda for many years, and we鈥檙e looking forward to this collaboration and being able to bring our three decades of green innovation and experience in the energy sector to the party.鈥�

鈥淭his partnership exemplifies the collaboration we need to decarbonise the built environment. Ecotricity brings decades of innovation in renewable energy, an essential part of reducing operational carbon in buildings. By combining their expertise with our network鈥檚 drive for whole-life carbon reduction, policy influence, and sustainable construction, we鈥檙e creating a powerful platform to accelerate climate action across the sector鈥�, Yetunde Abdul, UKGBC鈥檚 Director of Industry Transformation, added.

Key parts of the partnership include:

  • Thought leadership and advocacy: 皇冠体育app will participate in UKGBC鈥檚 expert panels and task forces, including the Advancing Net Zero initiative, putting both organisations at the heart of national sustainability policymaking.

  • Knowledge sharing: Through joint campaigns, events, and co-branded case studies, we will jointly unlock new insights for stakeholders in the built environment sector.

  • Workforce upskilling: 皇冠体育app will collaborate on training, knowledge-sharing forums, and industry events 鈥� ensuring alignment with the evolving sustainability landscape.

This partnership follows us already being the only energy supplier to be a member of the UKGBC, furthering the diversity and expertise within the network. With growing regulatory and reputational pressure pushing corporates and councils to demonstrate clear climate action and reduce emissions, this partnership will ensure those UKGBC members are best prepared to confidently demonstrate their green credentials.

In addition to the partnership, we will be running extra activity to drive forward green buildings:

  • A Real Time REGOs education campaign to bring our time-matched REGOs solution to the construction industry

  • Public sector engagement packs focused on transparency, compliance, and cost control

  • Collaboration at events to bring renewable innovation thought leadership to a broad audience

Climate Clock

The Climate Clock is a version of the Doomsday clock that has been running since 1947 - this tracks the risk of global man-made disaster, through man made technology (like nuclear weapons) - displaying the minutes and seconds left before midnight, when disaster strikes. The climate crisis is a small part of the calculations made.The climate clock uses a similar approach, but, focuses only on the climate crisis - which is the biggest and most urgent existential threat we face."The Climate Clock is a countdown to the biggest man-made disaster we face - but also a measure by which we can track our progress - moving from fossil to renewable energy. It shows we have no time to lose - the clock is ticking鈥�" Dale Vince, OBE.
