Ambius joins the new UKGBC


Ambius, the world’s largest single provider of plants and ambient products that improve commercial environments, has today announced its membership of the UK Green Building Council (UKGBC).

Ambius has long promoted the use of plants in and around buildings but this formal partnership will allow the company to showcase the sustainable role of greenery to a broader audience of constructors, developers and building managers.

Kenneth Freeman, International Technical Director for Ambius, explains: “The benefits of greenery are well known to Ambius, but less well understood by constructors, developers and building managers. We hope that membership of UKGBC will enable us to promote greater awareness of the benefits of interior and exterior landscaping to a broader audience.

“Ambius has always promoted sustainability and environmental responsibility and our membership of the UKGBC is a public declaration of our support for this movement.”

Ambius will also work with UKGBC to share best practice and to campaign for plants to play a measurable role in new green building rating schemes.

Other members of the UKGBC include HBOS, Willmott Dixon Construction, Land Securities Group and Nationwide Building Society. Ambius is also a member of the United States Green Building Council and the Australian Green Building Council.
