Why people and organisations become members

Interested in becoming actively involved in changing the building and property industry or doing more for sustainability? If you are, you're in the right place. As Europe's biggest network for sustainable building, since 2007 the aim of the DGNB has been to promote sustainability in the building and property industry and instil awareness of building sustainability amongst the broader population.

By becoming a DGNB member, you will be seen to be assuming responsibility – on behalf of your organisation and society. Sustainability is not just the latest trend, it's a golden opportunity to meet the biggest challenge of our time – climate protection. And the best way to do that is to work together!

Becoming a DGNB member makes you part of a strong community consisting of 2,000 members, representing every stage of the building and property value chain (processes).
