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 fundamentally about transparency and progress. By openly sharing your organization’s performance, you create transparency that builds trust with stakeholders and reinforces credibility among investors, partners, and the broader market.
TurnLeaf’s approach aligns with globally recognized ESG reporting standards, including GRI and the GHG Protocol. We work closely with our clients to identify the ESG issues most material to their operations and stakeholders, and to assess the financial, reputational, and environmental risks associated with these priorities. From there, TurnLeaf develops a customized framework with clear targets, timelines, and governance structures to guide effective ESG implementation.
Finally, we develop and produce annual ESG or Impact reports that clearly communicate your organization’s progress, highlight achievements, and strengthen stakeholder confidence.
BOMA BEST Certification - Project Management
BOMA BEST (Building Environmental Standards) is the industry-recognized standard for evaluating and certifying existing commercial buildings.
TurnLeaf has project-managed BOMA BEST certification for hundreds of buildings across Canada, with many achieving Gold and Platinum ratings. Strong certification performance has helped clients secure prestigious industry awards, with TurnLeaf also leading the development of winning submissions.
Our clients benefit from access to TurnLeaf’s extensive library of proprietary BOMA BEST documentation and templates, developed through years of hands-on program delivery. These resources streamline the certification process and help maximize building performance scores.
TurnLeaf’s connection to BOMA BEST spans decades. Jennifer Davis, Principal of TurnLeaf, submitted and received the first-ever BOMA BEST certification in Canada when the program was originally launched. She continues to contribute to the program’s development as a member of the BOMA Canada Technical Advisory Committee and is frequently invited to share her expertise at industry conferences.
Energy and Carbon Reduction Program Design
TurnLeaf collaborates with various levels of government to identify market gaps and opportunities that inform the development of strategic, targeted support programs. These initiatives engage, educate, and advocate for organizations and industries as they navigate the transition to a lower-carbon economy, helping them protect against both short-term transition risks and long-term climate risks.
TurnLeaf has secured millions of dollars in incentive funding on behalf of our industry clients to develop and deliver programs that support organizations at varying levels of market maturity — from those launching their first sustainability initiatives, to organizations with emerging programs, to well-established stakeholders seeking to strengthen and scale their existing efforts.
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 organization's 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.
Industry Awards Development and Submission
TurnLeaf clients win awards! We manage the entire submission process for BOMA TOBY Awards.
Efforts to gather and organize the necessary information and write the submission for an industry award are substantial. We handle it all, bringing to life the compelling narrative of your organization’s greatest achievements to garner the recognition your people and your buildings deserve.
TurnLeaf Consulting’s award submissions for our commercial real estate clients regularly win at the local, national and international levels.
Surveying
Understanding your audience is essential to making informed business decisions. TurnLeaf’s surveying services help organizations gain meaningful insight into the experiences, expectations, and priorities of their tenants. Drawing on more than 20 years of experience in the commercial real estate sector, we design surveys that generate clear, actionable insights to inform operational improvements, leasing strategies, and long-term asset planning.
Tenant surveys are a core area of TurnLeaf’s expertise, and we work closely with clients to ensure results are translated into practical recommendations that strengthen tenant relationships and support better building performance.
