Frasers Property Australia Chief Executive, Anthony Boyd, has become the latest Director on the Board of the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA).
Adding to his commitments as a member of the Property Council of Australia’s Corporate Leaders Group and Champions of Change Coalition and Board Member of the Property Industry Foundation, Boyd will assist the GBCA in its aim of facilitating the sharing of knowledge, expertise and innovation between industry and Council.
“The GBCA’s impact on the Australian built environment has been profound. By providing connections and facilitating knowledge sharing, the GBCA ensures innovations and initiatives from members are amplified and shared across a range of businesses quickly and effectively,” Boyd says.
“This elevates minimum standards and collectively lifts the whole industry, especially given the willingness among members to be open and transparent in sharing ideas and practical applications for the greater good.”
Boyd says he is excited to collaborate with his fellow Board Members, with direct and indirect engagement in building and operating real estate.
“The diversity within the GBCA Board, team and membership organisations provides the broad perspective necessary to make a meaningful contribution to a better, cleaner future,” he says.
“Looking ahead, the biggest challenge for the built environment is scalable change. This will ideally be driven through access to affordable technologies, products and construction methodologies which are crucial for raising the standards of future sustainable buildings. Greater access will also enable the elevation of existing buildings to those same standards.
“In collaboration with the whole GBCA family, I look forward to progressing the great work of the current and previous Directors so we can collectively raise the bar in sustainability in the built environment and enhance Australia’s position as a global leader in this space.”
