+Impact (pronounced positive impact), a business publication with a consumer edge, will become the leading source of green building insight, opinion, and review for GBCSA members and for related property, construction, and infrastructure stakeholders in South Africa and regionally. Featuring articles by respected journalists, commentators, and practitioners, and beautifully illustrated with original photography and graphics.

O v e r - a r c h i n g T h e m e

It’s time to go beyond merely minimising detrimental impacts. Every investment we make, every product we produce, and every building we design, construct, operate and occupy should make a positive impact for investors, occupants, surrounding communities, and the environment. Best practice in green building design, construction and operation can simultaneously achieve

these objectives, and +Impact magazine will highlight this endeavour and profile those leading the way.
