GS governance banner

The Green Star Advisory Committee and supporting groups of industry experts ensure the Green Star rating system continues as the leading rating tool for the built environment. The advisors challenge Green Star through continuous improvement of the certification process and by representing the property and construction sector, seek to increase industry participation in Green Star. 

The Green Star Advisory Committee

The Green Star Advisory Committee is made up of sustainability leaders with experience in rating systems and the role of independent certification in driving change.

They hold senior positions and have an understanding of the economic, social and environmental drivers that affect the adoption of sustainable building practices.

The Green Star Advisory Committee works across the Expert Reference Panels (ERPs) to consolidate recommendations for the NZGBC Leadership Team and Board on all matters relating to the development of Green Star. In doing so, they are committed to ensuring that the Green Star rating system remains rigorous, market relevant, and valued by industry.

The Advisory Committee chair provides an update to the NZGBC Board twice a year
