04.2 GLOBAL IMPACT GROUPS AND GOVERNANCE

Managing the sustainability program will rely on a renewed energy within the existing GIG framework.

We have approached this with both a top-down and bottom-up view, reconfiguring the GIG Steering Committee as the Leadership team, accompanied by a GIG Activist group consisting of those just beginning their careers in architecture. The leadership will work with regional leaders and studio GIG leaders and groups to implement, manage, and evolve our sustainability program.

Gig Leadership

Formerly called the “steering committee,” our GIG Leadership acts as the main governance arm for implementing our sustainability strategy across our operations. This includes facilitating sustainability initiatives within each stream, as well as managing the GIG framework from global to regional to studio scales. Leadership meets monthly at a minimum with a focus on reporting out by region, sharing progress and ideas for evolving our strategy, and working with GIG Studio Leaders and Activists.

Our leadership team members also advise our Global Studio Executive regularly, while also providing guidance to each of our streams to ensure they are informed by Global Impact goals.
