Evolution of the Malaysia Green Building Confederation
On the 5th of May 2007, a group of like-minded companies got together and had the very first meeting to discuss the formation of a Green Building Council for Malaysia. The name 'Malaysia Green Building Council' was soon coined by the core founding members and for the first time in the history of the country a concerted effort to spur and guide the local building industry in the direction of sustainable built solutions was mooted through a voluntary, non-profit and non government organization. However, in order to comply with the Malaysian Registrar of Societies requirements, the name was subsequently changed to "Malaysia Green Building Confederation", thus maintaining the acronym of MGBC.
