About us
Practical climate solutions, shaped by people and place.
EnviroCentre is a non-profit social enterprise that helps organizations take climate action that works in the real world.
For more than 25 years, we’ve partnered with municipalities, housing providers, institutions, and community-serving organizations to design programs that reduce emissions, improve operations, and strengthen the communities they serve.
We believe climate action succeeds when it is practical, people-centred, and grounded in the everyday systems that shape life—homes and buildings, transportation, waste, and green spaces. Our work sits at the intersection of technical expertise, community insight, and on-the-ground delivery.
Our purpose
Helping organizations solve today’s challenges while building tomorrow’s resilience.
We support organizations that want to take meaningful action but need clarity, capacity, or a partner who understands their operational realities. By bringing together specialists across energy retrofits, sustainable transportation, waste and circular economy, green infrastructure, public engagement, and data, we help clients move from intention to implementation.
Our approach
Designed for the lived realities of the communities our clients serve.
Our approach is flexible, human-centred, and grounded in the understanding that every organization starts from a different place. We listen closely, learn from context, and design solutions that respond to real needs. We test ideas, refine them through learning, and scale what works.
Rather than focusing on the abstract, we focus on what people experience every day: how they move, how they live, how they manage waste, and how they interact with nature. This keeps our work practical, accessible, and oriented toward what matters most.

Who we are
A multidisciplinary team grounded in expertise and shaped by community.
EnviroCentre is powered by more than 70 professionals—technical specialists, program designers, communications and engagement experts, and operational teams—supported by contractors, installers, and community partners.
We share a belief that climate solutions must work for the people whose lives they touch. Our teams bring both technical rigour and empathy, designing programs that reflect community needs, organizational realities and lived experience.
Our board of directors provides governance and strategic direction to ensure our work delivers meaningful, long-term impact.
Our commitments
Equity, reconciliation, and community care.
We recognize that climate action is inseparable from questions of equity, affordability, and justice. The impacts of climate change—and the benefits of climate solutions—are not distributed evenly. Our work seeks to help address this imbalance.
Guided by equity principles and informed by relationships with community partners, we design programs that reduce barriers, increase access, and ensure benefits reach those who need them most. Our work continues to evolve toward deeper commitments to reconciliation and ongoing listening.
Our story
Born from belief in a better way.
EnviroCentre began with a simple idea: practical climate action should improve daily life. What started as a small team focused on energy efficiency and sustainable transportation has grown into an organization that supports climate action across the systems people rely on every day. We’ve learned that the most effective solutions are grounded in lived experience—human-centred, context-specific, and designed for real-world impact.
Let’s work together
Whether you’re refining an idea, designing a new program, or scaling a proven solution, we’re ready to help.
