Integral Group 2020 Corporate Social & Environmental Responsibility Report

Corporate Social + Environmental Responsibility (CSER) Our Annual Commitment to Our People + Our Planet

2020

2020 CSER Report | Welcome My intentions in joining Integral Group back in January of 2020 were to deliver on world class performance across our global business. We had no idea what was in store for the industry at-large, including but not limited to a global pandemic, economic recession, social unrest, and the stress it placed on everyone’s physical and mental health. At my previous company, Ross & Baruzzini, a fellow member under the Dar Group, we too were all about “People First” and “Do Good Things, Good Things Happen.” In joining Integral, I’ve noticed how the added layer of our “deep green” mission has been an important point which is new to me. Therefore, this past year has been one of expansion with respect to learning in many ways.

CONTENTS

Our values of Trust, Nurture, and Inspire continue to ring true and we recommit to these every day, including finding new ways to nurture our staff in changing times. One thing is for sure - 2020 was a year to re-imagine how we deliver on our mission. Although we are a privately-funded company, we see our CSER commitment in alignment with the growth of the ESG movement. It is a mechanism to identify risk and provide direction for corrective action. We are excited to share our 2020 CSER report with a re-imagined process which leverages an outcomes-based approach that bridges our internal operations (footprint) with the positive impact we make on the world through the great work we do (handprint).

Executive Summary | A Year to Re-Imagine THE PANDEMIC CURVEBALL

ANTI-RACISM TASK FORCE

While the COVID-19 Pandemic is a shared lived experience, the ways in which individuals were impacted was drastically different. We must acknowledge the uncertainty, burden, and trauma 2020 brought to individuals, communities, organizations, and services alike. One thing is for certain, we will not be returning to exactly the way things were before. As we re-emerge into the world and think about the future of work, and the future of building design, this is an opportunity to innovate, re-imagine and rebuild with intention.

In response to the tragic murders of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and so many other Black lives - we made a commitment to pause, listen, and learn in our Black Lives Matter Statement within the 2019 CSER Report. What followed that statement was a commitment to action through the formation of Integral’s Anti-Racism Task Force (ARTF). The ARTF, comprised of 48 self-selected employees from around the world, came together to discuss their experiences with racism, discrimination, prejudice, bigotry, and bias toward all underrepresented minority groups. The Task Force formulated an Action Plan using an outcomes-based approach that spans across four-time horizons: Then, Now, Next, and Future.

The transition to working from home gave rise to important conversations about business resilience and continuity. Our leadership team had completed an organizational PESTLE (Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Legal, and Environmental) analysis in 2018 to identify potential risks to the business. While a global health pandemic was not something we anticipated, the activity of doing a risk analysis, coupled with some early planning, supported our ability to pivot quickly.

This year brought forward opportunities to build awareness, as well as develop new levels of flexibility for future resilience. Issues such as the climate and mental health crisis's, a global economic recession, and the spotlight on social injustice all drove our organization to listen more, learn a lot, and make meaningful commitments that are backed by action.

Within our firm, it gave rise to our Anti-Racism Task Force (ARTF) and their published ARTF Action Plan, meeting our Net Zero Carbon Buildings commitment 10 years early, launching employee-led initiatives such as the Diversity Council, Zero Carbon Ops Team, Employee Resource Groups, the Wellness Council, and Integral Gives which focuses on community outreach and volunteering.

The CSER initiative has been re-imagined, influenced and inspired by this notion of bridging the gap between who we are as an organization (our footprint) and the projects which we serve (our handprint). Through the Network Effect, and propelled by the power of partnerships, we believe now more than ever, that we can achieve our desired outcomes.

We asked our people… ‘What changes did you make in 2020 in connection to our CSER goals while adapting to working from home?’ We’ve highlighted some of their responses which you will find in the “Initiatives + Achievements” pages of the report.

As we enter 2021, we are amidst our Return-to-Office (RTO) planning, which addresses how the office environment can better support new ways of working, as well as our more expanded ways of thinking, connecting, and growing.

The Action Plan was developed through open dialogue sessions and workshops with staff and a recommitment to our firm’s values of Trust, Nurture, and Inspire. The Action Plan recognizes that these values are meaningless if they are not aligned with embedded actions. Proactive and meaningful steps must be taken to ensure a just and inclusive workplace.

Integral Group must use its significant influence within our industry to create pathways of mobility and access for those who have been marginalized, under-resourced, and underrepresented. Click here to read our Anti-Racism Action Plan.

ZERO CARBON OPERATIONS After three years of data collection, meticulous analysis and research, Integral Group has successfully achieved net zero carbon emissions for Scopes 1 and 2, ten years ahead of the requirement of the World GBC’s Net Zero Carbon Buildings commitment (2030). We are also committed to going above and beyond the Commitment to include net zero Scope 3 emissions, including business travel, employee commute, water and operational waste by 2030, with accelerated targets of 2025.

Once every mitigation effort was considered and implemented, we were able to reduce total emissions per person by 20%, which equates to a reduction of operational EUI by 12%, and operational energy consumption per person by 25% between 2018 (our baseline year) and 2020 (current performance).

As these mitigation efforts alone are not sufficient for achieving zero carbon for scopes 1 and 2, we were tasked with evaluating the myriad carbon offset programs for the final push towards meeting our zero target. Our CSER team developed a set of criteria to thoroughly examine and vet available offset options in the marketplace that not only helped us to achieve zero Scope 1 and 2 targets but also offsets that aligned with our vision to be an equity and impact-centered firm.

Executive Summary PERFORMANCE AT A GLANCE We track CSER performance across five categories, establish key performance indicators (KPIs), and set targets for 2020, 2025 and 2030. The following are our top takeaways from the 2020 calendar year: Environmental Footprint • Net zero scope 1 + 2 carbon emissions (via reductions + offsets) • 34% less Scope 3 carbon emissions compared to benchmark • 20% reduction in total emissions per person and 25% less operational energy consumption per person compared to 2018 (baseline) Justice, Equity, Diversity + Inclusion (JEDI) • Meeting our 2020 targets for global workforce + leadership made up of underrepresented groups and underrepresented minority groups (see definitions to right) • Although targets for female representation in leadership roles at the top level increased, we saw declines in % of female associates Health + Well-being • Satisfaction score has declined; we notice a trend of more satisfaction in smaller offices compared to that in larger offices • While we recognize that 2020 created new mental health challenges, we also acknowledge that mental health was and will continue to be a priority area when it comes to the wellbeing of our employees • The data is consistent with an increase in self-identified invisible disabilities (e.g. anxiety, neurological disorders, chronic pain) Education + Impact • Record levels of external-facing articles, research papers, and awards • Creating of our global webinar series, IG | Vision, which has helped us reach so many more clients, partners and other stakeholders than we have ever connected with before Safety + Resilience • Swift upgrades made to our IT infrastructure to pivot to a successful Work From Home (WFH) model • Pandemic “Playbooks” based on best practice released within 2 months of forced closures INTERACTIVE DASHBOARD | This year we created an online dashboard which allows the user to examine our data more closely, with year-on-year trending, and other more granular data breakdowns and comparison capabilities.

CSER Approach WHY CSER?

INTEGRAL ENGAGED | EMPLOYEE-LED INITIATIVES

Our commitment to Corporate Social and Environmental Responsibility (CSER) is guided our Deep Green mission, our desire to be an organization that does good in the world and our intention to leave a legacy of positive contribution. This becomes our sense of identity and what brings our people together. As a professional services entity we lead by example to support our clients moving towards a more sustainable and just built environment. Through both our footprint (internal) and our handprint (projects), we aim to improve the lives of our employees and the communities in which we live and work.

We are committed to generating an annual report, which incorporates input from initiatives, employee-led activities, and lessons learned from the previous years. Part of our approach to CSER includes staff engagement, tracking our performance, introducing or improving upon policies, and reporting on our progress. Learn more about our Integral Engaged initiatives in each category of the report, as well as in the conclusion section.

OUTCOMES BASED APPROACH We use an Outcomes-based approach which includes 3 key steps: 1. What are the desired OUTCOMES? 2. What are the key performance INDICATORS that demonstrate the outcomes have manifested? How will we measure success?

3. What ACTIONS need to be taken to align with desired outcomes? How do we work our way to that reality?

Actions follow our Now, Next, Future timeline and we measure our success annually. This helps our team calibrate our roadmap and prioritization by identifying areas we are excelling, as well as any gaps.

• NOW | Actions which are top priority to be taken in 2020-2021.

• NEXT | Targets which will occur on a timeline between 2022-2025, which require some additional coordination and planning.

• FUTURE | We currently have identified 2030 Targets and understand that actions on this timeline will need to be reassessed in the future.

OUR PROCESS | CIRCLE OF TRUST At Integral we have developed a 5-step process for rolling out new initiatives called The Circle of Trust. We have applied this to our CSER process, as well as to the Integral Engaged initiatives. It includes the following key steps: • COMMUNICATION | Annual virtual roadshows & workshops • EMPOWERED ENGAGEMENT | Employee-led Initiatives (Integral Engaged) • WORKFLOW | Data collection at global & local levels • CONSISTENCY + ACCOUNTABILITY | Peer reviews and initiative sponsors • REPLICABLE DOCUMENTATION | Annual CSER report + performance dashboards

SUSTAINABILITY | TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE • PLANET | Impactful + Actionable; Data-Driven; Science Based; Replicable; Accelerates the Market • PEOPLE | Safe + Inclusive; Place to Thrive + Feel Supported; Culture of Accountability; Work-Life Integration • PROFIT | Equitable + Socially Just; Resilient Business Model; Real Impact on Relative Economic Environment; Circular Economy

THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS (SDGs) The United Nation’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a global call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity, with targets to achieve by 2030. Through our work for clients and in our own operations we directly address 14 of the 17 UN SDGs. You will see progress towards these goals within the “Action Plan” pages of this report.

FOOTPRINT VS. HANDPRINT Within this report you will notice two icons: a footprint and a handprint. The footprint refers to our internal practices and performance as a firm. Most notably this includes our company’s carbon footprint, but also in the legacy and culture we create for our people. The handprint refers to the impact we make through the projects we touch. An example of our company’s handprint can be seen in the published book, entitled “Integral Impact.”

Our Footprint (internal)

We acknowledge that when we are walking the talk (footprint) in alignment with our mission (handprint), there is a positive acceleration process that occurs on our projects and within the industry at large. The two are inextricably linked.

INTEGRAL | 2020 CORPORATE SOCIAL & ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY (CSER) REPORT

INTEGRAL IMPACT | Published in 2018, and still relevant, the book was a celebration of our ten year anniversary of providing deep green engineering and consulting services with a global reach.

Impact tells the story of Integral Group through the projects, people, and endeavors that most encapsulate our ethos and influence.

Our Handprint (projects)

Environmental Footprint Zero Waste Office In early 2021, Integral Group is moving into a new design studio within the TELUS Sky building with the goal to design the greenest office fit-out in Calgary. The final design will achieve LEED Platinum and Fitwel Certifications.

Through the design we have aimed to reduce, reuse and re-purpose as much as possible showcasing Integral Groups commitment to supporting a more sustainable workplace.

The new design studio exemplifies many features aimed at promoting sustainability, wellness and energy efficiency including occupancy and daylighting sensors, displacement ventilation and low flow fixtures.

Integral’s Calgary Design Studio will divert construction and demolition waste from landfills by sorting waste into multiple streams on the construction site and sending waste to appropriate facilities for recycling or re-use. The project will divert 100% (by weight) of all waste generated during demolition and construction activities through several material streams.

Environmental Footprint | Action Plan OVERVIEW

In May of 2021, we announced our achievement of net zero carbon emissions for Scopes 1 and 2, meeting the requirements of the World Green Building Council (WGBC)’s Net Zero Carbon Buildings Commitment. The Commitment challenges businesses, cities, and regions to take advanced climate action by setting lofty targets to eliminate operational carbon emissions from their building portfolios by 2030, starting with Scope 1 (direct emissions) and Scope 2 (indirect emissions). As a founding signatory, we committed to meet the requirements ten years early, as early adopters to influence others to join us on the journey.

We are dedicated to going above and beyond the WGBC Net Zero Carbon Buildings Commitment by including zero Scope 3 emissions (business travel, employee commute, and operational waste) by 2030, with accelerated targets for 2025.

Once every energy efficiency mitigation effort was considered and implemented, we were able to reduce our total emissions per person by 20% since our baseline year, 2018. These reductions alone are not sufficient to eliminate Scopes 1 and 2 emissions, so our Corporate Social and Environmental Responsibility (CSER) team was tasked with evaluating the myriad of carbon offset programs for getting to zero. However, not all carbon offset programs are created equal, and not all credits are distributed equitably. We define a good carbon offset as one that has:

Global Performance Desired Outcomes

Zero Carbon Operations (energy, commute, flights, waste)

• ADDITIONALITY | Ensures offset projects would not have happened without the offsets being purchased • PERMANENCE | Provides long-lasting solutions • VERIFIABILITY | Assures that the project will yield expected results • SOCIAL IMPACT | Prioritizes and supports environmental justice and social value for the most marginalized groups, investing in places that have been historically under-resourced.

Using these criteria, the CSER team thoroughly vetted RECs and Offset options in the marketplace that not only helped them achieve Scope 1 and 2 targets but also aligned with the vision to be an equity and impact-centered firm. Click here to learn about our journey becoming a zero carbon company.

ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT DASHBOARD | In 2020, we have created an online dashboard which allows visitors to examine our data more closely, with year-on-year trending, emissions by office and region, and other data breakdowns. Click here to access our Environmental Footprint dashboard.

Environmental Footprint | Results OUR PERFORMANCE

We track and disclose our key performance indicators in this category in alignment with the World Resource Institute’s (WRI) GHG emissions protocols.

GHG Emissions in KgCO2e by Region (Average Headcount) 800,000.00

This year, our working behaviors changed significantly as the world moved to a Working From Home (WFH) model. As such, we expected to see greater reductions in our energy consumption than were observed. We attribute this to being a 100% tenant-based operation where for many of our spaces, we are not in direct control of our consumption, or rely heavily on whole building data for disclosure. This has helped us understand more about how our buildings consume energy, and we will put these findings into use while shaping our Zero Carbon Operations Action Plan – due to be published later in 2021.

700,000.00

Total Energy Consumption per Capita | While understanding the Energy Use Intensity (EUI) of our design studios offers us a standardized way of looking at our energy consumption, it may not tell the full story. If we have used benchmarking proxy, or whole building data to do our analysis, it assumes that all space in a building is used exactly the same way. Looking at the energy consumption levels per capita (per person) allows us to identify whether the space we inhabit are operating efficiently. We noticed a 9.25% increase in Energy Consumption (kWh) per person when compared between 2018 (baseline) and our 2020 performance.

300,000.00

Business Travel (flights) | The pandemic had a huge impact on our business flights in 2020. From Q2 onwards, international travel became rare, and even in-country air travel was drastically reduced or eliminated. Last year has proven that business flights are often a luxury, and not a necessity for our operations. As we look to 2021 and beyond, we will work to resist the tendency to return to past travel habits.

Employee Commute | Our annual All-Staff Survey pivoted to capture ways the pandemic has affected staff’s daily commuting habits. To our surprise, we noticed an increase in employee commute emissions when compared between 2019 and 2020. As reflected in survey data, this increase is due to a shift in the mode of transportation for employees commuting into the office, from public transit to personal vehicles, during the pandemic.

Work From Home (WFH) | Shifting to a temporary WFH model, some operational emissions have been displaced to employees homes. As there is no simple and standardized methodology to capture this data, this was not part of our environmental footprint analysis for 2020. However, our team of engineers + consultants have been evaluating data for clients to consider in new RTO hybrid models and we hope to include in our future reporting.

JEDI| Action Plan OVERVIEW Integral is committed to providing a workplace in which our employees thrive. We believe our ability to innovate and the resiliency of our business is underpinned by a diverse and inclusive employee community, rich with a wide array of perspectives. Our goal is to continue to push for fair and inclusive representation at all employee levels and disciplines throughout our organization.

Our data highlights the need to focus on providing clear and consistent pathways to leadership as a key strategy for encouraging underrepresented groups and underrepresented minority groups to both enter and stay in the industry. We are on a journey to improve representation across all levels of leadership and are driven to continue to create positive change. We believe that presenting the data transparently will improve awareness and accountability while supporting conversations around unconscious bias.

Race + Ethnicity | It is important to us that our workforce represents the racial and ethnic make-up of the communities in which we work. When reflecting on the racial and ethnic make-up of our offices, we notice a significant increase in underrepresented minority group numbers globally.

However, the way in which we collected data on this KPI changed between 2019 and 2020, defining minorities per country's definition utilizing learnings from http://minorityrights.org/, which resulted in a >13% increase and data that more accurately represents regional differences.

Office Leadership Promotions | In 2020 we proudly announced that Rachel Lieberman from our Toronto office became the first woman to take the position of Managing Principal in Canada. She joins Andrea Traber in Oakland, and Calina Ferraro in San Diego in moving us towards a more equitable future for women in office leadership roles at Integral.

JUST 2.0 Label – Diversity + Inclusion + Equity | We celebrate the transparency and external benchmarking obtained from our recertification with the JUST™ 2.0 label, using data collected in 2020. We observe that our scores support the message our annual metrics have been displaying in that we must continue to push for greater representation of underrepresented groups, mainly women and underrepresented minority groups, especially in positions of leadership.

JEDI DASHBOARD | In 2020, we have created an online JEDI dashboard which allows the user to examine our data more closely, with year on year trending, gender distribution by leadership level and by region, and other data breakdowns.

JEDI| Results SELF-REPORTED IDENTITY

RACE / ETHNICITY

For 2020, we continued to refine our All-Staff Survey to ensure the language used and response options provided, enable the diversity of our employees to be recognized. These questions focus on individual identifiers and bring visibility to those who are a part of underrepresented or minority groups.

LGBTQIA+ Community | Creating a safer and more inclusive workplace for those who identify as LGBTQIA+ helps us to grow stronger relationships between employees, with our clients and within our community. We are pleased that our employees are comfortable self-identifying their: • Gender Identity – reporting beyond binary gender • Sexual Orientation – being accepting to all sexual preferences • Transgender Status – expanding the conversation on trans-inclusivity Disabilities | In 2020, we again expanded our definition of disability to be more inclusive of the varying forms of disabilities, including but not limited to invisible disabilities. The new categories were taken from the disability classifications explained by disabled-world.com. The 2020 results included an increase in the self-reported disabilities from 12.04% (2019) to 15.85% (2020).

Military Status | Understanding our demographics on employees currently serving as reservists, or previously serving in the military helps us create a workplace which welcomes & supports veterans and active military personnel.

GENDER DISTRIBUTION

Data on global gender distribution is collected as part of our onboarding procedures where employees are asked to specify their legal gender. This allows us to examine gender distribution connected to career levels. While we celebrate positive progress made on gender equality within some leadership levels, we acknowledge that we have not reached our targets in all our genderbased KPIs - we have more work to do. We recognize that a person’s legal gender may not represent their true gender, therefore we also collect gender identification through the All-Staff Survey where employees can report beyond binary gender categories anonymously.

Efficiency + Demand Response + PV Generation + Battery Storage

The Solution | Integral created an hourly resolution urban-scale energy

model to evaluate the impact of various DER strategies on peak demand in the study area. The process involved characterizing the building stock into discrete typologies, creating building-level energy models for each typology, aggregating the data, and calibrating the results against NYSERDA’s Community Energy Use Data and ConEd’s hourly load projections. This model was subsequently used to identify the main drivers of energy use in the study area, and measure the impact of distributed generation, storage, demand response, energy efficiency, and building electrification.

Peaker plants, used to generate electricity to meet peak demand, are a significant source of pollution in under-resourced communities in New York City. Integral worked with a coalition of community partners to find sustainable alternatives to these facilities.

JAN

Overview | Peaker plants are more carbon intensive than baseload

facilities, leading to an immense source of point pollution that exposes residents to harmful contaminants and poor air quality. Sunset Park is home to many marginalized racial and ethnic minority groups in low socioeconomic positions. This challenge of increased energy use and diminished air quality presents the perfect example of environmental justice disparities faced by many communities globally.

response, PV covering 8% of rooftop area, and battery capacity of 30 MW would achieve 38% savings on peak demand. While not enough to completely eliminate the two peaker plants in Sunset Park, these strategies would set an example for other communities in the area and would significantly improve the quality of life for residents in New York’s most under-resourced and marginalized communities.

The Challenge | The scope of our study is to explore the possibilities of

eliminating peaker plants through distributed energy efficiency, generation, and storage (DER) strategies.

Health + Well-being| Action Plan OVERVIEW As health and well-being increasingly becomes a focal point in the work we do for our clients, we also recognize that it is an essential focus within our own offices and plays a key role as part of our corporate culture.

As a firm filled with environmental activists, we acknowledge that our work puts our employees in direct relationships with an additional stressor - ecoanxiety, a growing phenomenon that is a result of the climate crisis. Natural disasters from fires, floods, heat waves and droughts have already affected our employees directly.

We look at our employee health + wellbeing with a holistic approach, taking into account all facets of health + wellness: physical, occupational, spiritual, emotional, intellectual, social, environmental and financial. We aim to help our people create balance for themselves and support employees by creating a workplace that reinforces individuals living their best lives as their most authentic selves.

Within this category, we focus on the following topics and acknowledge that we have room for improvement when it comes to the results: • • • • • •

Workplace satisfaction Workstation satisfaction Employee turn-over Employee Engagement Physical Health Employee Well-being

We look forward to the time that our offices re-open and we can build back a greater sense of community. We believe that the offices are a place for social interaction, mentorship, and a breeding ground for growth.

Health + Well-being | Results ALL-STAFF SURVEY The annual All-Staff Survey was expanded this year to ensure we captured key metrics included in the JUST™ 2.0 label. The survey is the biggest opportunity we have to find out what our employees think and feel.

2020 Global Staff Results

Scale

We expanded some questions to allow a pre- and post-COVID response to capture if there was any shift in satisfaction when we transitioned to working from home, and to measure the impact of additional stressors occurring because of the pandemic.

The Global Wellness Council submitted a series of optional questions for staff, which will assist the initiative in generating recommendations for incorporation into their forthcoming wellness action plan – expected to be released at the end of 2021.

WORKPLACE SATISFACTION Questions on workplace/ office environment and individual workstations were repeated, despite being away from our offices for the majority of the year, to ensure data was captured for any upcoming Fitwel certifications.

These datasets are instrumental at the office level, as they help us shape and improve the experience of being at work in every location around the world and will inform the future of work environments.

The global pandemic has proven to be far more than just a physical health issue, but a mental health and emotional well-being concern. While some employees thrived from the shift in lifestyle, others did not. The pandemic has also heightened inequalities in areas such as housing, familial care responsibilities, access to green spaces and more. The results of our employee's struggles were confirmed when we analyzed the results to our All-Staff Survey in Q4 of 2020.

Health + Well-being Handprint | Relevant Project Telopea’s 2045 Urban Renewal: Health + Well-being for everyone!

Imagine | Redevelopment with social intent.

Integral Group has been engaged by Frasers Property to lead the social sustainability ambitions of this urban redevelopment project within the heart of Telopea, NSW, Australia.

Inspire | The project is set to be the first WELL Community rated project in NSW and only second in Australia, setting a mayor precedent in the delivery of Health and Wellbeing benefits at scale (35.6 acres of land). In addition to an existing local school, the precinct will be comprised of: • several residential buildings, including commercial housing, affordable housing and community housing; • community and public spaces such as parks and playgrounds; • a church or religious edification; • a community center; and • retail spaces of mixed-use such as commercial amenities and community services.

End users such as residential occupants, owners/ tenants of retails spaces and other mixed-use spaces, the surrounding community, and visitors will benefit from initiatives such as: • smoking bans; • specially designed children's playgrounds, pet friendly facilities and spaces for physical activity; • mass transport connectivity, pedestrian walkability, cycleways; • mixed-use facilities and services within walking distance; • drinking water facilities and promotion; • breastfeeding facilities and programs; • urban agriculture promotion, education and local community gardens; healthy eating marketing and offerings; • extreme weather event warnings and emergency plans (for example for heat waves which are very relevant in Australia); • Legionella control; • among others.

New crosswalks between certification rating systems!

Nurture | Delivering H&W initiatives to disadvantaged and vulnerable populations who characteristically inhabit community housing is an unprecedented governmental commitment to social sustainability.

Trust | We are supporting our institutions in establishing trust between the development teams and the local community members.

Perform | The strategy is to seek both “Green Star Communities” and “WELL Communities” certification, in addition to 5 Star Green Star Design and As Built certification for buildings within the precinct.

Sustain | Creating a platform to support the delivery of H&W outcomes throughout all 3 stages of the project, which spans over a 25 years timeframe and goal of achieving WELL pre-certification initially as a sign of commitment.

Accelerate | Drawing unprecedented crosswalks between “Green Star Communities” and “WELL Communities” certifications.

Education + Impact

Mentorship No matter the style or format of mentorship, whether it be an organic bond created, a formal program, or a skills sharing training session, one thing always remains the same, mentorship is mutually beneficial for both the mentor and mentee. We have a wealth of knowledge and experience within our workforce, in the form of industry experts and thought leaders. In 2021, Integral will be working to build a global mentorship program to ensure we are providing opportunities which will suit the needs of our employees to achieve development and growth at every level.

“I’ve mentored a number of Engineers in the UK within our local programme to help them achieve Chartered Engineer Status. I’ve found it to be a highly rewarding experience for myself both personally and giving me a different perspective as a manager. I am very proud of our commitment to growing our own future leaders of the practice.”

Education + Impact | Action Plan OVERVIEW Education + Impact is about our commitment to internal professional training, development, and employee engagement, as well as external involvement and contributions to our local communities. Our local CSER office champions continued to be our eyes and ears, gathering information on internally hosted trainings and presentations, which occurred throughout the year despite having to learn to present and engage virtually. In this way, our impact is truly a grassroots effort.

JEDI Intersections | In 2020, we changed the underlying strategy for our Education + Impact work following the release of our Anti-Racism Task Force Action Plan. To be a deep green and equitable engineering and consultancy firm, we needed to play our part by supporting a talent pipeline of underrepresented groups through our outreach, fundraising and volunteer activities. We began to advocate for environmental justice with our clients and work more closely with Design for Justice consultants. We began to direct efforts on anti-racism education with our employees by sharing resources, encouraging self-learning and starting conversations during our annual #WeAreIntegral Month.

JUST 2.0 – Stewardship | One of the ways we continued to make an impact was to recertify our global JUST™ 2.0 label. The JUST program serves like a nutrition label for organizations seeking to become socially just and equitable. It represents our renewed commitment to transparency on charitable giving, as well as giving back to and positively impacting our local communities. Using the JUST label as a benchmark, we have added three (3) new KPIs to this category, as well as to multiple CSER-related action plans.

Impact Fund | One of our Founder’s initiatives is linked to ongoing research & development (R&D), known as the Impact Fund. In 2020, we spent time reimaging the future of our R&D program as there were no new funds awarded in 2020 due to the financial realities faced during the pandemic.

Some projects from 2019 rolled over and our R&D continued through externally funded sources and grants.

Education + Impact | Results HANDPRINT + FOOTPRINT The category of Education + Impact is where our staff begin to witness a close correlation between our footprint (internal) and our handprint (external). We focus on education both internally through professional development, as well as externally through industry events, presentations and helping to build a future pipeline of engineers and environmental activists. The following are examples of how we have been making positive impact in the building industry and within our communities over the past year: Integral Awards | Since 2012, we have taken the opportunity to celebrate the most impactful projects through the annual Integral Awards initiative, created by our founder, Kevin Hydes. The awards celebrate technical excellence on projects, as well as innovation through internal initiatives. The awards are externally adjudicated by recognized experts from their respective fields within the industry This year we chose to feature one project per CSER category within this report to demonstrate our handprint.

Mission and Values Alignment | We recognize that when we have a sense of purpose and connection to a greater goal, we are more engaged and productive, which leads to creating space for more innovation. This is the reality we aim to create for our employees and is represented within our core values. We hope to see the scores for values alignment increase as our impact grows, as we are better able to measure the positive impact on the planet through our projects.

Education + Impact Handprint | Relevant Project The Meaning of (Whole) Life

Whole life carbon is greenhouse gas emissions, measured in CO2 equivalent, associated with the following lifecycle stages:

Elementa carried out a Whole Life Carbon analysis of a demonstration building for a local council in the UK. This analysis was completed for the whole building including, substructure, superstructure, facades, finishes and building services. We compared the following;

We help our clients design, build, operate, and renew with a clear understanding of whole life environmental impacts, both at the architecture and MEP level.

• Code compliant fabric with a communal gas boiler and heat pump (Baseline) • Ultra-low energy building fabric with a heat pump (Option 1) • Ultra-low energy building fabric with direct electric (Option 2)

Click here to learn more about our Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Whole Life Carbon consulting services.

This analysis included operational energy consumption calculated using PHPP a predictive modelling software. The Whole Life Carbon assessment assumed a decarbonized grid at an average of 54 g CO2/kwh, this is why the proportion of whole life carbon that is associated with operational energy is so small.

An in-depth embodied carbon analysis of the different heating system options for each scenario was also carried out. For the development with ultra-low energy building fabric with a heat pump (Option 1), two options were compared:

Two refrigerant leakage scenarios were explored for the scenarios that included heat pumps. Refrigerant leakage has a tiny impact in the low leakage scenario (1% annual leakage and 1% leakage at end of life) but can have a quite significant impact under the high leakage scenario (4% annual leakage & 3% leakage at end of life).

CONCLUSIONS | The conclusion of the embodied carbon comparison of this 4 heating options is that under a low refrigerant leakage scenario the heat pump solutions have a broadly similar embodied carbon than the baseline (communal gas boiler and heat pump). The embodied carbon of the direct electric heating system is very low.

Both of the ultra-low energy fabric scenarios have less Whole Life Carbon than the baseline (London Plan compliant fabric with a communal gas boiler and heat pump). With the low refrigerant leakage scenario, both ultra-low energy fabric scenarios have similar whole life carbon emissions. However, the direct electric option exceeds the zero-carbon energy budget of 35 kWh/m2. If all buildings are built to this specification, it is less likely that the electricity grid will be able to decarbonize.

Whole building including MEP services life carbon emissions throughout the building lifecycle (A1 – C4) over 60 years (tCO2e): Equivalent Carbon emissions A1- C4 (tCO2e)

• Individual water to water heat pump connected to and ambient loop (Option 1A) • Individual air to water heat pump (Option 1B)

Safety + Resilience

Conscious Face-to-face (F2F) At the start of 2020, the term “social distancing” was an unknown phrase outside the epidemiology, virology and emergency planning communities. But today, it is part of the global lexicon. The concept of distancing from our friends, family and colleagues was unheard of, and the complexities of complying with mandated government orders has changed not only the way we interact, socialize, work and play, but it has changed the focus of how we design buildings, and the systems that keep them operating.

Health, resilience & safety have become a bigger focus in our design process. Today, some of the regions in which we work are starting to ‘open up’ after long periods of restrictions, while others remain in strict lockdowns. We continue to be conscious of our personal space, and that of others. When we do meet for long-awaited reunions and Return To Office (RTO), our top priority of health and safety of our employees and their families will endure.

Safety + Resilience | Action Plan OVERVIEW

Global Performance

The traditional approach to Environmental, Health & Safety (EH&S) ensures that we are meeting code compliance in each office as a foundational minimum expectation. In late 2019, we saw the opportunity to examine “Safety” in a way which encompassed “Resilience” by ensuring comprehensive contingency planning and developing a more resilient business model.

We recognize that Integral stepped up to play an important thought leadership role during the global health crisis. With COVID being an air-born disease, our expertise in ventilation and computational-fluid dynamics became even more relevant. We took the opportunity to proactively apply the health resiliency practices from advising our clients to our internal operations where possible. In addition to our emergency COVID-19 response, we focused on the following business resilience protocols in 2020: Anti-Bribery & Corruption | In June 2020, we released a global roll-out of our Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Policy, which was reinforced with supplemental training, deployed to all employees using our new interactive training platform. The training is important for us - we see it as a critical component of maintaining a culture of integrity, and wanted to ensure all employees and suppliers understand the consequences at both the personal and business levels if non-compliance should occur.

ISO 9001:2015 + ISO 14001:2015 Management Systems| A number of our offices maintain certification to internationally recognized standards in regions where certification is an expected signal of competency to our clients. Integral enrol in these certifications as they are a powerful tool that helps us manage our business effectively, boosts operational resilience and builds our organizational knowledge for the long term. In regions where ISO certification is not an expectation of our clients, Integral utilize the key aspects of the ISO standards to build business resilience. We have rolled-out policies and procedures at the global level to ensure a consistency of working standards across all our regions.

"I am delighted that our employees have engaged in a culture where Safety + Resiliency are paramount to our ongoing success, and look forward to strengthening our approach with new initiatives in the near future.“ - Doug Kerr, Chief Risk Officer, London

Desired Outcomes

Our people feel confident that they are coming to a safe place to work.

Integral's operation processes are flexible and agile in order to sustain across changing times (PESTLE) allowing us to continue our mission of making positive impact on the planet.

Senior and office leadership have second-in-command, to ensure resilient business model as well as support mentorship and mobility pathways.

Integral is recognized and respected as an Ethical & Responsible Business and therefore sought after as a partner of choice within the industry.

Safety + Resilience | Results EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS In 2018, the senior management team had undertaken a strategic planning session to re-imagine the firm’s long-term direction and set goals for 2025.

As part of this session, our leaders performed a full horizon scan and completed a PESTLE (Political, Economical, Societal, Technological, Environmental and Legislative) analysis. This risk assessment exercise, while failing to predict a global health pandemic, put us in a great position from a resiliency perspective to better anticipate change. We had clarity on where we could pivot if we needed to, and we were well-prepared to accelerate some of the actions that had been planned for the coming 2-3 years. For example, but not limited to: • Leveraging Dar Group support + RTO Planning • The move to Microsoft Teams • Moving IT to the Cloud + transitioning staff to laptops • Backup planning for Accounting

COVID-19 Response The global pandemic caused the world to face a new reality that impacted our personal lives and the way we work. As a firm deeply committed to the health and wellbeing of our employees, we wanted to support our employees in feeling secure and mentally healthy during a time of prolonged separation.

Route to Re-entry Shock

Denial and disbelief

Even now, as we are completing our 2020 report, returning to the office following COVID-19 still feels distant for many of our employees, depending on the region in which they live. The “Playbook” we developed in the early phase of the pandemic to outline the new health and well-being protocols are well-practised, and most of our staff have shown to be resilient in a work from home setting.

Safety + Resilience Handprint | Relevant Project British Columbia’s (BC) Building Electrification Road Map WHY BUILDING ELECTRIFICATION? Buildings account for nearly 11% of provincial emissions across British Columbia (BC), and 30% to 60% of emissions for many of BC’s municipalities.

Therefore, many jurisdictions including the Province of BC, have outlined plans and programs to help support a gradual decarbonization of the building sector. Many of these strategies hinge on the concept of building electrification, which refers to the replacement of fossil fuel-powered building operating systems, (such as heating, domestic hot water, and cooking) with low-carbon electric powered systems.

However, while provincial and local governments in BC are exploring means of electrifying the building sector, there is yet to be established a clear pathway that shows the roles, responsibilities and steps that building industry members can and need to play in effecting a shift towards largescale building electrification.

CHARTING THE PATH This is why we helped develop the Building Electrification Road Map – a set of tactical actions, including the right sequence and steps necessary to ensure that BC’s building sector will reap the benefits of a clear and coordinated market transformation. Working for BC Hydro and a Steering Committee made up of key stakeholders, we provided the research, stakeholder engagement, and modelling necessary to chart the pathway to meet the following vision: “By 2030, nearly all new and most replacement domestic hot water and space heating systems in BC’s homes and buildings will be high-efficiency electric, in pursuit of a province-wide shift to low-carbon buildings.”

WORKING TOGETHER We worked in partnership with the New Buildings Institute and our engagement specialist Susanna Haas Lyons over the course of 2020 to ensure a comprehensive and stakeholder-driven road map that would garner the buy-in and consensus necessary to drive emissions reductions.

The Road Map represents the views and insights of over 150 stakeholders from across the province and will be carried out over the next 10 years by a dedicated coalition.

Conclusion | Looking Forward INTEGRAL ENGAGED Integral Engaged, our grassroots initiative program, was officially launched in 2020, creating 5 working groups, one per CSER category, that promote staff engagement. These initiatives help guide internal efforts to achieve global impact, are employee-led, and driven with the support of the CSER Core Team.

We encourage employees to join these initiatives using an application process open to all staff. Initiative teams were selected to have a range of representation from each region, from multiple disciplines, and from different career levels. Each of the five teams is made up of regional champions, one global lead, as well as a sponsor.

Ramya Shivkumar Global Lead

For the Integral Engaged programs, 2020 was a year of brainstorming, planning, building frameworks, engaging local offices and doing the groundwork for things to come in 2021. So far in 2021, one initiative has been spotlighted per quarter. Each spotlight features a launch of their program and/or sharing their initiative action plan.

Zero Carbon Operations (ZCO)

Diversity Council

Integral pledged to making our Scope 1 and Scope 2 operational emissions net zero by 2020 as part of our commitment as a founding signatory with the World Green Building Council’s Net Zero Carbon Buildings Commitment.

With the launch of the Employee Resource Group (ERG) program in January 2021, the Diversity Council is focused on nurturing and growing this program to ensure maximum impact for our employees. Each ERG will have their own strategies to bolster their sense of community within the firm. The following ERGs were launched in January 2021: BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, Women, and Healthy Heads.

This commitment includes the need to introduce energy efficiency measures in all of our offices, advocate our landlords and property managers to move towards on-site renewable energy (where applicable), or move towards green power. We committed to making up the shortfall by purchasing highquality RECs /Offsets in the regions where the emissions are released, and to developing a transition plan to occupying buildings which will be Net Zero Carbon and all-electric by 2030.

Integral Engaged Environmental Footprint

Kanika Sharma US Champion

The initiative team is working toward publishing our Zero Carbon Operations Action Plan in 2021. The focus will then shift to how we can reduce operational emissions further and in turn reduce our REC/offset reliability.

This includes reductions beyond just Scope 1 and 2 emissions, examining how we can reduce our highest impact Scope 3s - business flight and employee commute in line with our global targets.

In 2021, we successfully purchased RECs / Offsets to make us Net Zero Carbon for our 2020 Scope 1 and 2 emissions, read more on this here.

Wellness Council

Integral Gives

Safety + Emergency Response Planning

Directed at looking into ways we can create an engaged and accountable workplace environment that supports all facets of health. This initiative also touches on how we can show up as our most authentic selves, feel connected to our mission, and be responsible for creating the community we wish to be a part of.

With the launch of the Integral Gives program in April 2021, employees from all locations can now utilise four hours annually toward volunteer activities during work hours. These hours can be used towards any of the four streams included in the program; Youth Outreach, Volunteering, Pro Bono Design and attending Integral Engaged Workshops.

This initiative was temporarily paused as the firm transitioned to a temporary work from home model in early 2020 due to the global pandemic.

In 2021, the primary focus of the Wellness Council will be creating a global Wellness Action Plan for release in Q4. This action plan will use our Now, Next, Future framework and will look to:

Throughout 2021 the Integral Gives team will continue to source and create opportunities for employees to give back to their local communities. This work will include:

●

Breaking the stigma around mental health

●

Provide mental health support and training for employees

●

Increase employee engagement and satisfaction at work

●

Support a healthy and authentic company culture

●

Build leadership skills within our pipeline

●

Offer personal development opportunities for growth

●

●

●

● ●

Engaging employees and creating intentional partnerships with non-for profits aligned with our CSER + Anti-Racism goals Overseeing our annual #WeAreIntegral Month to help increase awareness about volunteering opportunities Providing communications throughout the year to staff via our firmwide intranet and All Hands meetings to build awareness about the program

Maintaining a robust playbook to ensure alignment and positive impact Creating partnerships with local schools and youth organizations to help influence the up and coming pipeline of potential engineers

Covid-related global resilience strategies required implementation from the senior management team to keep all employees safe and productive at home. However, due to the hard work, flexibility and perseverance of our employees, we have used this time as an opportunity to create a foundation for this initiative. We expect this initiative to re-start in early 2022, once all offices have stabilized in their new, return-to-office reality.

The goal of this initiative is to develop global and local emergency response protocols, evacuation plans and trainings; as well as on larger global business continuity plans.

In addition to the initiative’s original intention, the committee has been supporting the submission of environmental, health & safety (EH&S) KPI’s to the Dar Group on a quarterly basis.

07

Acknowledgements The 2020 CSER initiative, including the report and the staff engagement events, is possible due to contributions from across the firm. Our global team of representatives includes a network of Office Champions, Integral Engaged Initiative members, Anti-Racism Task Force members, Peer Reviewers, Operational Teams (Finance, People, Marketing and Administration) and a Core CSER Team. Everyone involved provided expertise, effort, passion and dedication which deserve recognition.

We are grateful to all employees who have attended and participated in workshops. We are grateful for our colleagues who had supported us to meet our 2020 goals but are no longer with the firm.

Our “One Team, One Dream” mentality is what helps us to reach our Social and Environmental goals in the long and short term, and every contribution is valued deeply, and shapes who we are. #WeAreIntegral

Governance, Methodology, Scope, Assumptions (1 of 2) METHODOLOGY

This report is based on available data to measure our baseline environmental and social performance. To facilitate future tracking and reporting we are developing a process for ongoing data collection. Where data was challenging to obtain, we used proxy values based on industry benchmark data as representative of the local region and building type.

For reporting on our carbon emissions, we are currently focused on Scope 1 (direct) and Scope 2 (indirect) building emissions globally, as well as some Scope 3 operational emissions.

We collected employee commute data by analysing the results of an All Staff Survey. We collected flight data using a combination of reviewing our travel records and expense forms, and working with our regional travel agents.

Measuring our Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (JEDI) performance is done annually through an All-Staff Survey, through analysis performed as part of our JUST 2.0 label submission, as well as data collected from standard employee records. Data from employee records is scrubbed for anonymity by our People Director prior to analysis by the CSER team.

Health and Well-being data is obtained partially through our All-Staff Survey.

In addition to the survey, data is collected through certification efforts in select offices, our JUST 2.0 label and from our internal CSER tracking mechanisms with the help of our Office Champions.

Education and Impact data is collected through internal tracking mechanisms, as well as the All-Staff Survey, and our JUST 2.0 label.

Our team has reviewed this report for accuracy and validity. The final report was approved by the CEO, the Chair of the Board, and our CSO.

STAKEHOLDERS

This report is intended to be viewed by our employees, clients, and others with whom we collaborate. We want this report to inspire employees to continue to uphold our values and support our goals. We hope our clients will gain a better understanding of what makes us unique and how we are able to continuously strive for innovation and performance in our projects by taking action across all aspects of sustainability. We have completed annual internal stakeholder engagement since the inception of the CSER program.

However, we have not executed external stakeholder engagement yet, but have identified this as a key 2021 opportunity.

SCOPE + STRUCTURE

This report contains data from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020.

This is in alignment with our fiscal year. The data in this report pertains to all offices including all newly acquired offices across all of our regions.

PEOPLE DATA Aside from the Gender Distribution, People Data was collected based on a voluntary All-Staff Survey during October 2020. Data from employee records is scrubbed for anonymity by our People Director prior to analysis by the CSER team.

All-Staff Survey response rates were not 100%, so in turn the data is only representative of employees who completed the survey.

Employee numbers listed are a static snapshot number based on the staff headcount when the survey was opened and are based on the number of employees in the system and not a Full Time Equivalence (FTE).

Corporate employees were re-allocated to the office they most frequent.

PLANET DATA BASELINES | Baselines are set depending on category or key performance indicator in different ways. Most baselines are set using datasets from specific performance years, when we feel a data set has hit a high enough quality standard. Where no previous baseline data exists, the current year will become the baseline if the data quality is deemed good enough. Where the data quality is not yet optimal, the baseline will be set once we hit the data quality target.

Baselines have been set or will be set based as follows: • Energy and Water - the first year for which there is GOOD data for an office will be the baseline year (see data quality framework on page 43).

• Business Travel – 2018 and 2019 data used for comparison only. 2020 was intended to be our new baseline year, however as the global pandemic affected travel significantly, 2022 to be our new goal to baseline data.

• Employee Commute - 2018 performance (prorated by headcount) is the baseline for most offices. Where new offices opened in 2019, this data will be their baseline. New offices for 2020 will not be baselined until 2022.

• Waste - not applicable – we will target the 2022 dataset will be our baseline for future reports.

• Supply Chain - TBD

08

Governance, Methodology, Scope, Assumptions (2 of 2) Benchmark | Benchmarked data ideally comes from third party sources,

and does not reflect actual performance of our buildings. Its primary use is to compare our performance to that expected of a similar building, in a similar location. It is also used where actual consumption data was not available for an office. In these cases, standard benchmarking datasets and tools were used to determine typical electric, gas, and water use intensities for office buildings within similar regional zone.

Where Benchmarked data is not available for non-utility based KPI’s, we use high quality annual data sets (baseline) normalized for current headcount to create an internal benchmark. This is typical of our Scope 3 measurements such as Employee Commute and Business Flights.

Energy & Water Data | For offices that needed to rely on benchmarking proxy data either:

• Data was collected from pro-rated landlord building data • Data was benchmarked from publicly disclosed data • Data was benchmarked from other published data These methods introduce a margin of error that is difficult to quantify – as the data is not from raw data, nor is it representative of only office use (it includes all common areas and can be particularly problematic for mixeduse buildings - particularly if the other uses have energy-intensive uses, such as hotels, or have industrial uses).

It was assumed that the Electrical Grid Carbon Factor sources (listed to the right) were representative of 2020 energy generation. Knowing that not all factors are updated annually, the most current data available was used for all calculations.

Publicly disclosed, or benchmark data had to be used for: • Calgary - Leased area consumption was calculated from the Canadian Median EUI for offices (SCIEU 2014) • Los Angeles – CBECS 2012 Average Office EUI, GUI and WUI used • New York - City benchmarking disclosure (whole building) • San Jose - State of California benchmarking disclosure (whole building) • Seattle - Whole Building, Landlord shared Portfolio Manager • Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney Offices - base-building water consumption data was calculated from the NABERS disclosure where available, and the NABERS regional median from the 2019-20 Annual Report where is was not.

• Toronto - Leased area gas and water consumption was calculated from the Canadian Median EUI for offices (SCIEU 2014) and the BOMA BEST 2017 National Green Building Report, respectively

Using building-specific disclosed data means that we are assuming energy consumption is equivalent in all leased areas of that building, and for regional benchmarks, it is assumed that the consumption is equivalent to an average building performance.

Whole building utility bills (pro-rated for leasable space) were used for: • Australia: None – all spaces are sub-metered for electricity. No gas • Canada: Edmonton, Vancouver (partial sub-meter available), Victoria • Europe: Belgrade, Oxford (floor-level sub-meters), London (Water, part year) • USA: San Diego, Austin, Washington DC, Richmond

Employee Commute | Emissions data has been prorated for

transportation based on survey respondents and actual employee counts for October 2020 when the survey was completed.

Where employees entered a time for their journey instead of a distance their response was not included in the calculation.

Where employees were unable to provide a fuel efficiency for their vehicle, the UK Government DBEIS carbon factor for an average gas/petrol vehicle was applied even if they were not based in the UK where the factor is most relevant due to the difficulty in finding localized carbon factors for vehicles.

For the metrics on % employees using each travel method, the predominant method was chosen per person to calculate the result. Where two methods were equal, the method that theoretically takes the most time was chosen.

All offices were reported by assuming the data collected was representative of 250 working days in the year.

Waste | No waste data was collected in 2020 Business Travel | Corporate travel was split out from regional travel this

year to allow us to analyze the environmental cost of our business in more detail. In 2020, data was more complete as Integral had started using travel agencies that produce a report for all flights booked through them. As such, much fewer items were process through the expense system.

Where business travel was tracked through the expense records, in most cases the starting and destination airports were recorded in the expense description, which allowed the emissions to be calculated based on air distance travelled, obtained using https://www.airmilescalculator.com/, and the UK Government DBEIS carbon factor for an average flight applied.

The individual who submitted the expense was contacted for additional information in instances when the flight details were missing. If clarity could not be obtained an average distance / $ value was applied to estimate the distance travelled.

Glossary Agender: Individuals who identify as not having a gender. Some describe themselves as genderless, while others see themselves as gender neutral.

Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (DBEIS) Factors: The UK government emission conversion factors for greenhouse gas company reporting.

Asexual: A lack of a sexual attraction or desire for other people. One maybe asexual, yet romantically attracted to others.

eGRID factors: The Emissions & Generation Resource Integrated Database (eGRID) is a comprehensive source of data on the environmental characteristics of almost all-electric power generated in the United States.

Aromantic: Individuals who experience little or no romantic attraction to others of any gender. One may be aromantic, yet sexually attracted to others.

Androgyne/Androgynous: Identifying and/or presenting as neither distinguishably masculine nor feminine.

Audit: A formal examination of an organization’s or individual’s processes or financial situation.

Baseline: The baseline is the state against which change is measured. A baseline period is the period relative to which anomalies are computed.

Bigender: Individuals who experience their gender identity as two genders at the same time or whose gender identity may vary between two genders.

Energy Efficiency: A ratio of service provided to energy input (e.g., lumens to watts in the case of light bulbs). Services provided can include buildings-sector end uses such as lighting, refrigeration, and heating: industrial processes; or vehicle transportation. Unlike conservation, which involves some reduction of service, energy efficiency provides energy reductions without sacrifice of service. May also refer to the use of technology to reduce the energy needed for a given purpose or service.

Energy Use Intensity (EUI): The ratio of energy consumption to floor space.

Ethnicity: A personal identification based on ancestry origin, language, and culture. Can also be based on religion, beliefs, and customs.

Bisexual: A person emotionally, romantically or sexually attracted to more than one sex, gender or gender identity though not necessarily simultaneously, in the same way or to the same degree.

Fitwel: A building rating system to provide guidelines to design and operate healthier buildings. A cheaper alternative to the WELL Building Standard.

Biophilia: The practice of incorporating nature and natural elements into the built environment

Gay: A person who is emotionally, romantically or sexually attracted to members of the same gender. Commonly used to describe men who are attracted to men.

Carbon Intensity: The amount of emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) released per unit of another variable such as Gross Domestic Product (GDP), output energy use or transport.

Cisgender: A term used to describe a person whose gender identity aligns with those typically associated with the sex assigned to them at birth. (i.e. “Cisman” & “Ciswoman”) CO2-equivalent (CO2e, CO2eq) emission: The amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emission that would cause the same integrated radiative forcing, over a given time horizon, as an emitted amount of a greenhouse gas (GHG) or a mixture of GHGs. The CO2-equivalent emission is calculated by multiplying the emission of a GHG by its Global Warming Potential (GWP) for the given time horizon. For a mix of GHGs it is obtained by summing the CO2-equivalent emissions of each gas.

Gender-fluid: A person who does not identify with a single fixed gender; of or relating to a person having or expressing a fluid or unfixed gender identity.

Genderqueer: Genderqueer people typically reject notions of static categories of gender and embrace a fluidity of gender identity and often, sexual orientation. People who identify as “genderqueer” may see themselves as being both male and female, neither male nor female or as falling completely outside these categories.

CSER: Corporate Social & Environmental Responsibility; Integral’s interpretation of Corporate Social Responsibility which has a deeper focus on the environment

Greenhouse gas emissions (GHG): Greenhouse gases are those gaseous constituents of the atmosphere, both natural and anthropogenic, that absorb and emit radiation at specific wavelengths within the spectrum of thermal infrared radiation emitted by the Earth’s surface, the atmosphere itself, and by clouds. This property causes the greenhouse effect. Water vapor (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrous oxide (N2O), methane (CH4) and ozone (O3) are the primary greenhouse gases in the Earth’s atmosphere.

Decarbonization: The process by which countries or other entities aim to achieve a low-carbon economy, or by which individuals aim to reduce their consumption of carbon.

IGES Factors: Institute for Global Environmental Strategies are a publisher of a global list of grid emission factors. This list is used when a regional source cannot be found.

Demigender: Individuals who feel a partial connection to a particular gender identity. Examples of demigender identities include demigirl, and demiboy, and demiandrogyne.

ILFI: International Living Future Institute

Indirect Emissions: Emissions that are a consequence of the activities within well-defined boundaries of, a region, an economic sector, a company or process, but which occur outside the specified boundaries of the activity.

Invisible Disability: Any physical, emotional or mental impairment which may go largely unnoticed (i.e. anxiety or chronic pain).

JUST Label: A voluntary disclosure tool for organizations to help optimize policies that improve social equity and enhance employee engagement.

Key Performance Indicator (KPI): a measurable value that demonstrates how effectively a company is achieving key business objectives and/or targets.

Lesbian: A woman who is emotionally, romantically or sexually attracted to other women.

LGBTQIA+: Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and/or Questioning, Intersex, and Asexual and/or Ally NABERS Rating: the National Australian Built Environment Rating System, is an initiative by the government of Australia to measure and compare the environmental performance of Australian buildings and tenancies.

Net Zero Carbon: Achieved when the amount of CO2 emissions released on an annual basis is zero or negative (or offset).

NGA Factors: National Greenhouse Accounts Factors are prepared by the Department of the Environment and Energy and is designed for use by companies and individuals to estimate greenhouse gas emissions Non-Binary: An adjective describing a person who does not identify exclusively as a man or a woman. Non-binary people may identify as being both a man and a woman, somewhere in between, or as falling completely outside these categories. While many also identify as transgender, not all non-binary people do.

Offsets: An investment in an external, carbon positive project which can be purchased to balance out emissions already generated Pansexual: Describes someone who has the potential for emotional, romantic or sexual attraction to people of any gender though not necessarily simultaneously, in the same way or to the same degree.

Passive House (Passive House): Personal Gender Pronoun: The pronouns that individuals self-select.

Asking an individual for their personal pronouns versus assuming based on appearances can go a long way in allowing someone to self-identify.
