Green Building Council Indonesia

What Green Building Council Indonesia does

Green Building Council Indonesia (GBCI) is an independent not-for-profit organization founded in 2009 by leading professionals and companies in Indonesia's building industry, headquartered in Jakarta at Gedung Office 8, SCBD, with a secondary studio office in Cilandak. Its stated mission is to transform Indonesia's building sector toward sustainability, and it operates four core programs: Rating Development, Training and Education, Green Building Certification, and Stakeholder Engagement. GBCI is an Established Member of the World Green Building Council, a global network of approximately 70 national Green Building Councils.

GBCI's central product is the GREENSHIP rating system, a proprietary set of green building certification standards tailored to Indonesian climate, conditions, and regulations, with six certification tracks — New Building, Existing Building, Interior, Homes, Neighborhood, and Net Zero — awarded at four levels: Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze. In 2024 the organization launched the Net Zero Web Application, a digital self-serve platform (available via web and Google Play) that streamlines Net Zero Building Certification workflows and supports Indonesia's 2050 decarbonization pathway. The portfolio also includes the GREENSHIP Solution Endorsement (GSE) program for product vendors, the Greenship Professional (GP+ and Greenship Associate) individual credentialing tracks, EDGE Auditor certification delivered in partnership with IFC, and scheduled training workshops such as Energy Simulation for Green Building.

GBCI monetizes through a mix of one-time certification fees, donation-based training (structured as donations per PMK No.90/PMK.03.2020), recurring corporate memberships, and GSE endorsement licensing/royalties. Its go-to-market is primarily direct-to-enterprise for building certification and corporate membership, complemented by digital self-serve for Net Zero applications, plus events and webinars for top-of-funnel engagement. The customer base spans real estate developers, building owners and facility managers, homeowners, green building professionals, and corporate members across Indonesia, with named certifications awarded to enterprises such as DBS Bank Tower, PT Astra Honda Motor, Grha Unilever, Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison, KIT Batang industrial zone, and Sinarmas Land assets.
