Scaling Change: Our 2025 Impact Report
GreenStep was founded in 2008 to fill a gap: making sustainability practical and affordable for small and medium-sized businesses at a time when meaningful support was hard to find. Eighteen years later, we have published our first formal Impact Report. Not as a milestone to celebrate, but as an accountability document. A transparent look at the progress we have made, the work that remains, and the businesses and partners that made it possible.
This report reflects both our long-term journey and a milestone year. It brings together 18 years of progress, with a particular focus on 2025, our most impactful year on record, made possible by our incredible team, our clients and their collective climate leadership.

2025 also marked ten years as a Certified B Corporation, a commitment we first made in 2015 to be held to the same standards we help our clients pursue. Our recertification score of 145.5 is our highest to date, and reflects the work of the whole team to keep raising the bar internally, not just for clients.
Impact Stories
The clients behind the numbers
Behind every number is a business that made a specific decision: working toward recognized sustainability standards, funding decarbonization projects, bringing their industry peers along with them. Here is a look at some of the incredible work that defined our 2025.
Camping Melbourne Estrie
GreenStep’s first Sustainable Tourism Pathway member, reach Level 4 of 5, and placing second among campgrounds across Canada. They completed their first GHG emissions inventory in 2025 and were named 2025 Camping of the Year by Camping Québec.
Ontario Ski Resort Association
With climate change shortening seasons and increasing operational uncertainty, OSRA brought 10 resorts into a cohort certification program. Six completed their certifications by end of 2025, including two Gold, with 50+ members reached through a fall educational session.
Pursuit’s Banff Jasper Collection
Now in their third year of GreenStep’s EcoFund program, Pursuit completed 25 energy and decarbonization projects in 2025 across hotels, attractions, and transportation — with 29 more identified for 2026.
Tourisme Montréal
Having achieved Silver destination certification in 2024 — the highest score in GreenStep’s destination certification history — Tourisme Montréal turned their focus outward in 2025, running two cohort training programs for local businesses.
Our vision has always been clear: to offer a place where happiness is sustainable. Our industry exists because of nature, and we have a duty to protect it.
— M. Pasquiou, Owner, Camping Melbourne Estrie
Our own footprint
GreenStep has measured its own carbon footprint every year since 2008. GreenStep achieved net zero across Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions in 2024. Our remaining footprint sits in Scope 3, where business travel is our most significant source. We are working to reduce it, and we are committed to being transparent about where we are in that process.
We are also proud that our workforce is 61.9% women and 47.6% visible minorities, and that our team contributed 30 volunteer hours to local environmental stewardship in 2025, including Adopt-a-Stream and shoreline cleanups in the Okanagan.
“By living our values every day, we’re building a culture that supports the wellbeing of our team, our clients, and our communities.”
— Jodi, Chief Financial Officer and Head of People and Culture
Looking ahead
By 2030, GreenStep aims to help clients reduce carbon at 100 times the scale of our own cumulative footprint since 2008. We are currently at 21 times. Closing that gap requires scaling programs that deliver measurable emissions and utility reductions, expanding how we measure Scope 3 across our own operations, and continuing to build the team and tools that make all of it possible.
This report is the first edition. Future reports will build on the baseline established here, improving data quality and comparability year over year.
