dc.description.abstractGreenhouse Gas reduction targets congruent within Paris Accord commitments require expensive and politically unacceptable overt carbon pricing by Canadian federal and provincial governments. Small-Medium Enterprises (SME) can contribute to climate targets by using their agile size to adopt sustainable practices and set chain effects into motion. ecobc is a small business in the Toronto facilities maintenance industry that provides high rise window cleaning services to condo corporations while funneling profits towards an Environmental NonGovernment Organization (NGO) called ALUS Canada. SME-NGO Partnerships are vital towards moving the needle on climate change due to their organizational size and ability to pivot in adapting to new circumstances. ecobc’s SME-NGO partnership with ALUS Canada supports Canadian Nationally Determined Contribution toward the Paris Accord by creating a net positive impact on ecosystem-services, reducing emissions, and by setting an example for sustainability leadership within the Toronto facilities maintenance industry.en_US
