GBCI, Bureau Vertias develop strategic partnership
The Green Building Certification Institute (GBCI) and Bureau Veritas SA are teaming up. Bureau Veritas will facilitate LEED certification on behalf of GBCI for LEED green building projects. GBCI is the third-party certification body for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design.
“This collaboration with Bureau Veritas helps us take LEED to the next level,” said Rick Fedrizzi, GBCI board member and president, CEO, and founding chair of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). “Through our collaboration, we will leverage the scale and scope of Bureau Veritas’ operations and quickly build capacity and global reach to deliver best-in-class, third-party certification for LEED.”
