By opting to learn more about sustainability and equipping yourself with a LEED, WELL, or AIA credential or membership, you are taking a huge step in contributing to a sustainable society. At GBRI we want to reward and recognize all your dedicated efforts, achievements, and contributions through our sustainability certificate program.
For members in the silver tier or above, there is no additional cost to be a member of our certification program. GBRI will track growth and achievements to ensure members get the recognition they deserve after each accomplishment. These certifications stand out from credentials as they display more than a member’s ability to pass an exam. The certification program is our means of rewarding individuals for all of their hard work in a way that advances their reputation, motivates continuous growth, and displays a professional understanding of sustainable practices to others.
