When it comes to climate-friendly practices, York Region buildings are underperforming their provincial counterparts. In light of this, business tenants in commercial buildings have a role to play in overturning this lacklustre performance by taking action on climate change; and in turn, receive recognition for their efforts. As a business tenant, you can achieve this by acquiring information on your options and entering into collaborative working relationships with your landlord and co-business tenants.
