Lend Lease Global Head of Sustainability, Maria Atkinson, has been honoured for her work in driving green building and broader sustainability agendas by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC).
The USGBC has awarded Maria a USGBC Leadership Award in the Advocacy category - making her the first individual winner in the category.
The award was presented at the USGBC's annual industry event, Greenbuild, in Denver, Colorado.
"This award recognizes Maria's exceptional vision, leadership, and commitment to the evolution of green building design and construction across the company, as well as her work to drive the integration of environmental, social, and economic goals across the business," said Ross Taylor, Global CEO Retail and Communities.
The annual USGBC Leadership Awards recognise outstanding leadership, vision and commitment to green building by individuals and organizations.
The Advocacy category was first presented in 2005, when it was awarded to the Global Green USA organisation, the US affiliate of Green Cross International, President Mikhail Gorbachev's international environmental movement.
