Participation in The Green Will Initiative will demonstrate leadership and your commitment to reducing emissions and creating a healthier, prosperous and resilient Toronto.

As a member, you will benefit from collaboration and shared learning, receive support in creating a plan to achieve your targets and be recognized for your results.

Through the GWI, building owners will be supported in their efforts to reduce their building’s greenhouse gas emissions to net zero. Recognizing that the path to net zero will be unique for each portfolio and building. City staff will support building owners in achieving targets and creating a plan to accelerate emissions reductions.

Build a Pathway to Net Zero: Members will receive support to prioritize net zero planning and implementation, including access to the City’s Strategic Carbon Management (SCM) workshops and expert training from the Canadian Institute for Energy Training (CIET).

Be Recognized: The City will showcase and recognize members’ accomplishments and best practices. Members will be featured on the GWI webpage and other City of Toronto channels.

Receive Peer Learning: The GWI provides a forum for collaboration and shared learning between members to achieve mutually beneficial goals.

All commercial, institutional, industrial and multi-unit residential building portfolios in Toronto are eligible to enroll in the program.
