The Philippine Green Building Council (PHILGBC) has marked a historic event in the country during the launch of BERDE (Building for Ecologically Responsive Design Excellence), the Philippines' green building rating system, last November at the Building Green 2010.

January 2011 was highlighted with the development of the BERDE Awareness Course in partnership with TUV Rheinland, the PHILGBC accredited BERDE training institute. This was followed by the very successful BERDE Professionals and Assessors Training in February.

In continuing the BERDE Agenda, the Philippine Green Building Council, in cooperation with the International Finance Corporation (IFC), brings you this year's Building Green Government and CEO Forum.

The Government Forum dubbed as "Enabling a Regulatory-based Environment to Support Sustainable Buildings" is happening on March 24, 2011, to be followed by the CEO Forum entitled "Creating the Business Climate to Facilitate Green Building Investments" on March 25, 2011.
