FIABCI also holds special consultative status with the United Nations and has partnered with the World Bank, NAR and many others.

The award presented Friday March 31st, 2015 celebrates projects that exceed industry standards to create a built environment that excels in community amenities, technology, sustainability and architecture.
This Environmental Award was presented to Auden Schendler of the Aspen Skiing Company for their work at the Elk Creek coal mine near Somerset that recaptures methane gas and transforms it into electrical power. This project exemplifies to the world how to collaborate with big business in order to turn the tide of climate change by becoming a carbon conscious company. In so many ways this project is the key to a changed world.
Congratulations to Auden and Skico for all they do for the environment and our community.
