Promoting sustainability in the building and property industry and beyond, and creating awareness in the broader population is a central goal of the DGNB, captured by the statutes of our association. In fact, these are the very things that drive the DGNB as an organisation as well as its members. Nothing motivates us more than making something happen in unison and flying the flag for sustainability in public debate.
To achieve this, the DGNB has laid down a series of guiding topics to set the agenda for the work of the DGNB in the months and years to come. This involves the kinds of topics that drive the DGNB as an association, motivated by the interests of the construction and real estate industry. They also move us as members of society. These are topics that position sustainable building in the broader picture. And they are topics that are extremely important when it comes to the future standing of the DGNB.
The committee work of the DGNB revolves closely around these Guiding Topics. This typically involves detailed discussion of fundamental issues. It also involves embarking on initiatives, with every potential to change society and the industry. But it can just as well entail examining the specific issues we encounter in our everyday work or finding solutions that add value.
