Indeed, just like the Protea flower, Green Building Design Group embodies resilience, diversity, and transformative potential. Our journey, rooted in the rich soil of South Africa, is a testament to our commitment to sustainable development and our vision to catalyse positive change across the African continent.

As the Protea flower thrives in the face of adversity, so too does Green Building Design Group. We recognise the challenges that our communities face – from environmental degradation to social inequalities – and we are steadfast in our resolve to address them. Our belief in the resilience of both people and nature fuels our determination to create a better, more sustainable future for all.

Just as the Protea flower showcases a diverse array of forms and colours, Greenbdg celebrates the diversity of ideas, cultures, and perspectives that enrich our continent. We understand that true progress can only be achieved through inclusivity and collaboration, technology adoption and a strong commitment to drive forward sustainable development initiatives.

Green Building Design Group is a sustainability partner to infrastructure projects, powered by technology. The group was voted 2019 Sub-Saharan Africa’s Energy Innovator of the Year by the Association of Energy Engineers (AEE). In 2022 it was awarded Africa's Energy Manager of the Year by the AEE.
