The past five years have been a continuous process of improvement and re-imagination, driven by the personal and collective leadership within the firm. We aim to transform the industry, as it will take every player in it to achieve success. If we don’t work together, we don’t win the race, and this race — towards a net-zero, sustainable and equitable future — is one we all cannot afford to lose.

Kevin Hydes Founder

The movement toward environmental and social justice is not a one-and-done scenario — the work continues daily. We must embed it within everything that we do and every decision we make. This collective effort within the market will drive a transformation that is necessary to bring us all to the next level. We are committed to giving back through our industry leadership and believe we can leverage the impeccable talent within Integral Group to accelerate progress.

OUR IMPACT

Our global impact can be differentiated into two main streams; our footprint and our handprint. The footprint refers to our internal practices, strategies, initiatives, programs and performance as a firm. The handprint refers to the impact we make through the projects we touch and sharing our knowledge and experience through our thought leadership.

Health + Well-Being

Education + Impact

The Network Effect | Leveraging our external network to access opportunities to and accelerate positive change.

We acknowledge that when we are walking the talk (footprint) in alignment with our mission (handprint), the opportunity to accelerate our targets is maximised resulting in greater progress for our clients, and within the industry at large.

The Network Effect | To achieve our fullest potential we believe in the power of coming together through collaboration and strategic partnerships in order to solve complex problems.

External Commitments | Integral Group signs onto impactful external commitments which help drive our business, industry and planet towards achieving goals centered around a sustainable and equitable future. These commitments also serve as external verification measures for our progress.

We were a founding signatory of the World Green Building Council’s Net Zero Buildings Commitment and achieved netzero for Scope 1+2 operational emissions 10 years ahead of schedule. Our commitment to Net Zero will be expanding to include every project work we work on as part of the 2040 MEP Challenge we signed in 2021.

Since 2013, Integral has made a long-term commitment to employ socially just employment practices by enrolling in ILFI’s Just.(SM) Label program.

Our Work | We offer our clients sustainable, healthy and socially equitable outcomes for their projects. For each category in this report, a selection of projects with noteworthy impact have been highlighted.

Peak Mural

Inspired by our work to combat the environmental and social impacts of climate change, our Vancouver employees came together to paint Peak, a mural brought to life from the imagination of Creative Services Marketing Manager, Cathy Chan.

The mural depicts a mountainous landscape, with the landscape's lines generated from graphs of global climate records for carbon dioxide emissions, temperature, sea-level change, and arctic sea ice extent from 1880–2020. This art piece came together with the collective effort of staff who helped paint the mural over five days. This installation serves as inspiration for why we do the work we do to address climate change.

Together, we can move mountains.

EUI is an important metric for reporting our portfolio, as it provides normalized energy use data per m2. The WorldGBC Commitment requires that we show reductions in energy consumption. Measuring EUI helps us track our energy efficiency over time and track towards our 2030 target of a 30% consumption reduction across our portfolio.

New CIBSE Guide on Embodied Carbon in Residential Heating Systems

Research shows that embodied carbon in heating and hot-water systems account for up to 25% of a dwelling’s total embodied carbon. Building on the work of TM65, the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) and Elementa Consulting present their most recent research study, TM65.1: Embodied carbon in building services: residential heating.

The guide will enable building service engineers to understand the impact of the systems they design and the products they specify.

Net Zero Impact | Committed to making a net zero future a reality, through our operations, our work and our influence.

Beyond Buildings, a report issued by the World Green Building Council, with direction and authorship from Integral Group’s Global Lead of Life Cycle Research Louise Hamot and Director, Global Sustainability Richard Palmer, identifies opportunities for how an integrated approach to the whole built environment is essential to deliver change commensurate with the commitments of the Paris Agreement.

Integral Group proudly supports the Carbon Leadership Forum as a signatory member of the MEP 2040 Challenge. To address the impact of the built environment on climate change, systems engineers have a critical role to play in both operational and embodied carbon and need to embrace a whole life carbon approach to MEP design. While low operational carbon and passive design measures have been a target for some time, setting low embodied carbon targets for systems is quite new.

Integral Group became a founding signatory of the World Green Building Council (WorldGBC) Net Zero Carbon Buildings (NZCB) Commitment. The Commitment requires businesses, cities, and regions to take advanced climate action by setting targets to eliminate operational carbon emissions from their building portfolios by 2030, starting with Scope 1 (direct emissions) and Scope 2 (indirect emissions). In 2020, we successfully achieved net-zero carbon emissions for Scopes 1 and 2, ten years ahead of the requirement, and in 2021 released our Zero Carbon Operations (ZCO) Implementation Plan to remain accountable to the Commitment’s goals.

OUR IMPACT HIGHLIGHTS

International Women’s Day + Women in Engineering Day

Integral Group takes the opportunity each year on International Women’s Day to take stock of our progress towards our 2030 target of gender parity, refocus our strategy and celebrate our progress. We are proud of the wealth of female talent we have attracted and continue to nurture. Women of Integral continue to represent our firm as thought leaders, shape our most important policies, and accelerate the deep green work we are doing across the globe.

Global Just 2.0 Label

Diversity Council + Employee Resource Groups

Our internal Diversity Council is a team made up of global representatives from each of our operating regions who worked alongside Integral Group’s Wellness Council and CSER team to launch the Employee Resource Group (ERG) Program in early 2021. The ERGs are voluntary, team member-led groups focused on fostering diversity, inclusion and belonging. These groups help team members build strong connections; offer social, educational, and outreach activities; create development opportunities for future leaders, and work towards elevating and prioritizing the unique needs of each group. The photo above showcases the LGBTQIA+ ERG’s all-staff virtual PRIDE event.

UC JEDI-Centered Climate Resilience Planning

The Integral Group consultant team was solicited to design and facilitate climate resilience planning workshops for all 15 University of California campuses and medical centers. This planning centers the need for Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (JEDI) in order to address existing inequalities that make some communities more vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. The team developed and 8-step framework to guide each campus and medical center in understanding the key concepts and steps involved in JEDIcentered climate resilience planning.

Our unique backgrounds, experiences, value systems and many other differences are things to be proud of, and acknowledging them is a great start toward promoting a well-rounded workplace. Enabling employees and empowering them to leverage the diversity in their thought process and decision-making tends to promote organizational resilience and growth.

We celebrate the transparency and external benchmarking obtained from our renewal of the JUSTSM 2.0 Label in 2021. 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.

OUR IMPACT HIGHLIGHTS

LEED Zero Energy Certified Medical Office Building

Retrofit, Wellness and Smart Features

The office building refurbishment and fit-out project at 15 Bonhill Street, London, provides a new contemporary office space which incorporates multiple health and wellness features and targets Fitwel Certification. With features like greywater harvesting, seasonal vegetation produced on site for consumption, integration of nature, natural daylight optimization, on-site bicycle storage, dedicated wellness spaces, exercise rooms, and a winter garden space, this is a true exemplification of a healthy building.

This all-electric medical office building is measured and verified Zero Net Energy and Zero Net Carbon…all at a first cost savings of over $1M! The concept includes pragmatic design solutions that meet or exceed the LEED Gold sustainability requirement. The project has received a LEED Zero Energy Certification, the first for a medical facility in North America. It is LEED Platinum Certified, earning every available energy credit, and received the 2021 USGBC Leadership Award.

Living Building Challenge Zero Carbon & Petal Certified

The Sonoma Academy Janet Durgin Guild + Commons project has received the first-ever Living Building Challenge (LBC) Zero Carbon Certification in California and is the first project to be both Zero Carbon and Petal Certified (Energy, Materials, Equity, Beauty) by International Living Future Institute. The project is also LEED Platinum certified and is currently targeting WELL v2. This is yet another testament to the project’s revolutionary sustainable design and operation that puts wellness, sustainability, and occupant comfort at the forefront.

Health and well-being is about providing a safe environment for everyone to do their best work and feel that they can thrive. Employees should talk to their friends and colleagues about the good times as well as the not-so-good in their life.

As an engineering firm we solve both simple and complex engineering problems everyday by working together. We must create that same environment for our people to solve life problems while supporting their unique and personal needs.

OUR APPROACH TO WELLNESS…

Health Health + Well-Being Well-Being

Education + Impact

We look at our employee health and wellbeing with a holistic approach, considering all dimensions of health + wellness: physical, occupational, spiritual, emotional, intellectual, social, environmental, and financial.

Spiritual

We believe spiritual health can offer an expanded sense of meaning, purpose, and belonging. Our goal is to create an inclusive workplace where employees feel open to exploring their inner selves and expressing themselves spiritually at work. We believe our employee’s spiritual health is an essential and deeply personal journey.

We support them with tools like our meditation app subscription, inclusion programs, and encouraging personal development.

Physical

Our quality of life is significantly impacted by our physical wellness especially when it comes to our ability to remain physically active, sleep well, and eat nutritiously to prevent illness or manage chronic health conditions. We offer a range of physical health supports such as on-site fitness facilities, monthly health spending allowances, nutritious snacks, company sports leagues, and more. We take our physical health seriously and have fun while we do it!

Social

Meaningful and supportive relationships are a vital component of human health. Creating trusting, communicative relationships with colleagues can enrich workplace culture and support an individual’s social health. By providing avenues to spark and nurture these relationships, such as teambuilding events, social committees, reinforcing clear boundaries, and more, we enable employees to create genuine connections.

Financial

Effectively managing personal finances is a key component of overall health, as financial struggles can often be a major source of stress in life. We offer regionalized and customizable financial benefits such as our company-matched retirement savings plans, flexible and tax-free savings accounts, workplace nursery benefits, life and disability insurance, financial wellness seminars. We want to ensure we meet employees’ unique, present, and future economic needs.

Emotional

During COVID-19, a focus on emotional wellness has proven more critical than ever before in the workplace. We support employees by offering flexible working, providing soft skills training on handling conflict, and Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs). We help employees take care of their emotional health to manage work-related stress and provide the tools they need to adapt to change.

Occupational

With an employee base of sustainably-minded people, we know that aligning one’s workplace mission with their values generates a greater sense of purpose at work. Creating a lifestyle that enables a sense of satisfaction, meaning and reward is supported by working for a company whose own purpose is one to do good things in the world. Our Deep Green mission and our company values aim to do just that. With programs such as our Career Mobility and Mentorship, we love to watch our people grow and succeed within the firm.

Intellectual

Continued intellectual health and fostering creativity is a lifelong journey of ongoing growth. By offering engaging and mentally-stimulating opportunities for employees so they can continue to challenge themselves and expand their existing skills, and creating avenues to share skills and knowledge with others, employees can utilize the workplace to support this dimension of their wellness. We provide additional opportunities for intellectual growth, such as cultural awareness training, professional development funding, and community involvement.

Environmental

As a Deep Green engineering and consulting firm, environmental wellness is an essential dimension embedded in everything we do. With a focus on learning about and positively impacting the planet’s health, we support our employees in living eco-friendly lifestyles, battle issues such as eco-anxiety and provide healthy buildings with natural ventilation, access to daylight, views of nature, and more to our employees and our clients. We deeply value and respect the relationship between our people, communities, and environment and look to nurture it through our mission, work, and internal operations. With programs such as Cycle to Work scheme, enhanced waste diversion, and more, we remain committed to the well-being of our people and our planet.

IT Disaster Recovery Plans

As part of the Information Technology Business Continuity Plan, a global disaster recovery approach has been determined and documented to ensure an Emergency Notification Team and Support teams are now in place to guarantee a swift and efficient recovery no matter what the disaster circumstance requires. The plan includes a revised data backup policy, emergency management procedures, and damage assessment protocols.

Never has the importance of Safety & Resilience been so critical to our business, our colleagues and our clients. The past two years have required us to look at how we operate and maintain our business, how we work remotely, and how we continue to deliver great work for our clients. We have refocussed our approach to building design in light of the global virus that has impacted us all to reinforce the importance of safety within buildings and systems.

Bays West Sustainability Strategy

The environmental sustainability priorities facing governments and communities globally are brought into focus for the strategic renewal of Sydney Harbor. The sustainability focus for the strategic renewal of Sydney Harbor required a framework built on governance, assurance, and built environment certification. Stakeholders gained clarity of authority across the project life cycle and into the future.

The sustainability concepts are framed by an overarching commitment to Connection with Country – the recognition and responsibility that this place was, is, and will continue to be a place of cultural significance for Aboriginal Peoples of Australia.

Navigating Complex Rate Structures + PPAs

The goal of the Campus at Horton Plaza Redevelopment study was to assist the client in designing a solar and storage system, selecting an applicable rate structure, and negotiating an appropriate Power Performance Agreement (PPA) that would allow for maximum cost savings in the face of design and operational uncertainty brought on by COVID-19. By using stochastic analysis over financial analysis, Integral Group enabled the client to consider key factors such as drastic utility rate swings, weather variations, and building demand shifts which lead to maximized savings.

Climate change is already affecting our communities today, with heatwaves, flooding and other climate-related impacts becoming more severe into the future. By integrating a climate resilience lens, our design and planning teams are playing a key role in designing buildings that are safer, more comfortable and that will better stand up to future conditions.

ESG Advisory Services

Environment and Social Governance (ESG) reporting and investing is becoming more important to businesses of all kinds – for many reasons, including the commercial opportunities around access to capital, as a public expression of corporate values, and as an articulation of a vision for the future.

To successfully navigate this process, you need sound strategic advice, to create an ESG vision which aligns with your values as a business, so that ESG generates tangible benefits for the environment and the communities in which you work.

You also need to know that the goals you are setting are both ambitious and achievable, which calls for technical analysis to test and confirm your strategy.
