We support business, government, and not-for-profit organizations in improving sustainability performance through services that are grounded in real-world delivery.
ESG Strategy Development, Implementation and Reporting
ESG or Impact is about transparency and growth. By sharing where you currently are on your ESG journey, you create transparency. Transparency cultivates trust, which in turn strengthens stakeholder relationships and attracts greater investor interest.
Our approach is aligned with globally recognized ESG reporting standards, including GRI and the GHG Protocol. We work closely with you to identify material topics of impact and importance to your organization and your stakeholders. From there, we help assess your financial, reputational and environmental risk exposure relating to these key areas. Finally, we develop a comprehensive, customized framework with clear, measurable targets and timelines to effectively implement your ESG strategy.
But that’s just the starting point; once launched, your ESG journey showcases quantifiable progress against predetermined targets. Those are the good news stories and the bragging rights that we will help you obtain and communicate through your annual ESG Impact reports.
BOMA BEST Certification - Project Management
BOMA BEST (Building Environmental Standards) is the industry-recognized standard for evaluating and certifying existing commercial buildings.
TurnLeaf has successfully project-managed the BOMA BEST certification process for hundreds of buildings across Canada, with many achieving Gold and Platinum ratings. Several of our clients have leveraged their high BOMA BEST scores to win prestigious industry awards, further showcasing the exceptional quality of their buildings.
Our deep-rooted connection to BOMA BEST spans decades. Jennifer Davis, Principal of TurnLeaf, made history as the first person in Canada to submit and receive a BOMA BEST certification when the program was first conceived. Today, Jennifer continues to contribute to the program's development as a member of the BOMA Canada Technical Advisory Committee. She is also frequently sought after to share her program expertise at conferences and industry events.
TurnLeaf has further contributed to the BOMA BEST program by developing publications such as the Simplified Application Guide and the BOMA BEST Starter Kit. We've also supported BOMA Canada through various program revisions and pilot initiatives, solidifying our role as a key partner in advancing the value of BOMA BEST.

TurnLeaf collaborates with various levels of government to identify market gaps for the development of strategic, targeted support programs that engage, educate, and advocate for organizations and industries at large as they transition to protect themselves against both short-term transition risks and long-term climate risks.
We’ve secured millions of dollars in incentive funding on behalf of our industry clients to develop and deliver programs that target varying levels of market maturity, from launching to emerging to well-established stakeholders.
SOPs Development for Commercial Real Estate
Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are essential for maintaining organizational consistency and managing operational risk.
By providing a clear and concise set of policies, procedures, roles, and responsibilities, SOPs ensure that every team member has access to your organizational best practices. This is particularly beneficial when onboarding new employees and new properties.
TurnLeaf have developed SOPs for numerous commercial real estate organizations, from small portfolios of just a few properties to large, multi-asset portfolios approaching 18 million square feet.
Our approach draws on our extensive experience in reviewing and developing best practices in the CRE industry, while ensuring that your SOPs reflect your unique organizational values.
