Archify and Global GreenTag Announce Strategic Collaborative Partnership to Drive Sustainable Design in the Built Environment
Australia, November 2024 — Archify, powered by BCI Central, and Global GreenTag International are pleased to announce a new collaborative agreement aimed at fostering sustainable design and eco-friendly building practices across Australia’s design and construction industry. This partnership marks a significant step forward in the shared commitment of both organisations to advocate for specification of environmentally responsible architectural products and building materials, and innovative green building practices overall.
Under this partnership, Archify and Global GreenTag will work together to raise awareness and support initiatives that drive the adoption of sustainable building practices. The collaboration will focus on integrating GreenTag’s sustainability certifications into Archify’s product platform, and GreenTag will feature Archify product profile links on the relevant GreenTag portal product pages. Product suppliers and manufacturers with Global GreenTag certifications and EPDs will soon be able to showcase these items on their Archify Profile, thereby enhancing the visibility and accessibility of certified green products for architects, designers and industry professionals.
Both organisations will leverage their networks to share knowledge, resources and technical insights that benefit stakeholders locally, nationally, and internationally.
“This partnership will accelerate the adoption of sustainable building products and practices, further supporting architects and designers with the tools and resources they need to create healthier, more sustainable environments,” said Natasha Leyte, Head of Product and Specification at Archify. “Together, Archify and Global GreenTag can drive significant change in the built environment.”
The collaboration will initially focus on activities within Australia, with potential to extend into other Asia-Pacific regions where Archify operates, providing a unified approach to sustainability across the built environment.
Global GreenTag’s CEO, David Baggs, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership: “GreenTag is excited to partner with Archify to advance sustainability in the design and construction sectors by making GreenTag’s leading third-party certified products easier to find, choose and specify. This collaboration will enhance the design and construction industries’ collective ability to influence the future of sustainable, more human and nature centric buildings, benefiting the wider community, industry, and the planet.”
Both Archify and Global GreenTag look forward to a successful and impactful partnership that promotes a greener future for the built environment.
