The UK Green Building Council (UK-GBC) has entered into a new long-term partnership with Ecobuild, the world’s largest event for sustainable design, construction and the built environment.

The agreement means UK-GBC is now the lead partner of Ecobuild, the annual event which the charity has supported since it was founded in 2007.

The two organisations will now work even more closely to promote the business case for a greener and more sustainable built environment.

Paul King, Chief Executive of UK-GBC, said: "This partnership marks the start of a new and exciting chapter in our close relationship with Ecobuild, an event which has firmly placed sustainable construction on the UK and international agenda over the past ten years.

"We look forward to working with the organisers and industry to ensure that the programme of events and line-up of speakers make 2014 the best Ecobuild yet."
