What if the key to a greener future isn’t building more, but building smarter? That’s the work of #BCorp Entuitive at St. Hilda’s tower block in Toronto. Through energy retrofits and circular design practices, they are reducing carbon emissions and extending the building’s lifespan, all while creating more livable spaces that bring warmth, comfort, and dignity to the residents who call it home.  This is what our #EnvironmentalStewardship & #Circularity Impact Topic looks like—not in theory, but in action.
