FGBC Background and Mission
The Florida Green Building Coalition (FGBC) is a nonprofit 501(C)3 Florida corporation
dedicated to improving the built environment. Our mission is to lead and promote sustainability
with environmental, economic, and social benefits through regional education and certification
programs.
FGBC was conceived and founded in the belief that green building programs will be most
successful if there are clear and meaningful principles on which "green" qualification and
marketing are based. We are a membership-based organization governed by a Board of Directors
and corporate officers who are elected by the general membership.
The FGBC is continually finding new and innovative ways to educate builders, developers, local
governments, and consumers about how to achieve a healthier, more environmentally sustainable
future.
The purposes of the Florida Green Building Coalition are:

To encourage housing affordability by increasing building sustainability
To stimulate statewide acquaintance and fellowship among members and others
interested in green building practices
To provide opportunities for members and other interested parties to increase their
knowledge of green building practices.
