Our Manifesto
Now is the time to transform business-as-usual. From the climate crisis to vast social inequalities, we know the status quo isn’t working. Together, we can change this.
It takes all of us — every business and organization across Canada — to seize this moment. It’s a matter of rethinking what we do and how we do it, and working together to make it a reality.
Green Economy Canada sees what’s possible.
Our network is a place for leaders who are ready to challenge the status quo and make the transition to a vibrant and inclusive net-zero future.
It’s a journey we will take with you.
It starts with listening and understanding what can be done differently. It means providing the guidance, tools, and connections to help you succeed. It accelerates when businesses, non-profits and governments join forces. And it ends with seeing how we can do more together than alone.
So, join us, and let’s make business better, together.
