ABOUT US
Will Solutions : Who Are We ?
WILL Solutions is a privately owned Canadian company, certified B Corp. committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. We are active in the voluntary carbon markets with the Sustainable Community project. WILL has a social philosophy based on sharing that rests on two major axes: democratizing access to carbon credits by pooling local greenhouse gas reduction projects carried out by SMEs, municipalities and NPOs, and returning as much money as possible to them following the sale of carbon credits by WILL.

A Worldwide Recognition as an Impact Company
The expertise and professionalism of Will Solutions Inc. have earned the respect and trust of many national and international organizations. In November 2002, Gedden (now WILL) was honoured as the grand prize winner in the lesaffaires.com category. The e-Business Gala honours those who, through their creativity, knowledge, and vision, have distinguished themselves through the use of technology in the field of e-business. In June 2005, Gedden (now WILL) was a finalist in the Research and Development category of the 2005 Phénix de l’Environnement Awards.
In February 2012, Will Solutions developed and obtained the VCS (Verified Carbon Standard) certification for the world’s first and only methodology to convert the aggregated efforts (energy demand and waste management) of thousands of small emitters into aggregated carbon credits (clusters). This methodology, the foundation of the Sustainable Community solution, is the basis of the first Sustainable Community project validated in July 2013 for Quebec, thus acting as a global showcase.
Franchising: new regional Sustainable Communities for the decarbonization of SMEs
Finally, one of the founding principles of the Sustainable Community is its unifying aspect. We want to accelerate the decarbonization of society on a large scale, while enhancing local communities. This is why we offer the Sustainable Community franchise to investors and entrepreneurs.
