Taking green to the world

The chief executive of the New Zealand Green Building Council (NZGBC), Jane Henley, is to become chief executive of the World Green Building Council in April but will remain based in New Zealand. The appointment comes four years after Henley played an instrumental role in establishing the New Zealand body. Council Chairman Rob Lang says she had made an outstanding contribution to the rapid adoption of green building practices in New Zealand.


"In a short time New Zealand has gone from having no framework for green building design and construction to an established and widely supported system that has increased the sustainability of new and existing buildings."


"A large part of this can be attributed to the commitment and drive Jane brought to the role of CEO and she no doubt will make an even more impressive impact on the world stage."
