01 OVERVIEW We are pleased to present our first annual Corporate Social and Environmental Responsibility (CSER) Report. This report includes an introduction to our firm, our culture and our values, and shares our CSER performance data for the 2017 calendar year. As a mission-driven company, sustainability is fundamental to our operation. We are committed to continually engaging employees, improving our practices and giving back to our communities.

We track CSER performance across four categories: (a) environmental footprint, (b) equity + diversity, (c) health + wellbeing and (d) education + impact. We developed a set of key performance indicators in each category, and set targets for 2020, 2025 and 2030. Our 2017 performance data comprises a baseline, against which we can measure our performance in coming years.

THE CSER REPORT TEAM This report was authored by Clara Bagenal George, Edward Garrod, Rachel Moscovich, Annie Martin, Megan White and Tiffany Elston with support and contribution from the Global CSER Group and Global Marketing Team.

02 INTEGRAL GROUP: WHO WE ARE OUR PILLARS Our pillars illustrate our approach to project strategy, design and delivery.

IMAGINE Imagine is about coming up with new ideas, examining the old and evolving our approach to design. We continually redefine the ways our built environment can make a positive impact. The annual Integral Group design competition showcases and celebrates firm-wide project innovation, demonstrating how we are changing the face of engineering by arguing the case for doing things differently.

PERFORM We deliver high performance buildings that integrate seamlessly within their surroundings. As engineers, consultants, and designers, we apply our expertise to reduce the environmental impacts of every project.

Our focus on sustainable performance spans the project lifecycle from design, construction, commissioning, operation and post occupancy monitoring.

04 INTRODUCTION: CSER APPROACH OUR APPROACH Our CSER Report is a reflection of what is important to our company, and an extension of the company’s mission and vision.

This is the first CSER report, in which we have begun to measure and track our social and environmental performance across the company, as it relates to our internal operations.

We are committed to generating an annual report reflecting the interests and priorities of each of us as individuals, as teams, and as the broader Integral ‘family.’

Our approach to CSER includes annual staff engagement, tracking our performance, introducing or improving upon policies and initiatives, and reporting on our progress.

During 2017, we developed an overarching CSER strategy for all offices within the firm. The CSER report team established a common set of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and a shared format for CSER reporting.

04 INTRODUCTION: CSER APPROACH STAFF ENGAGEMENT By taking a collaborative approach to crafting the report, our aim is to build trust and inspire honest communication across all levels of the organization. Our goal is for this report to reflect our values as individuals and as a team, and inspire participation and commitment.

The next year we will continue to roll out sustainability workshops in every office. During our initial workshop series (Vancouver, Toronto, Oxford, London) we engaged employees to contribute ideas about how to improve our performance and make a bigger impact.

The workshops were structured around brainstorming ideas to reduce the footprint of our operations and stimulate positive impact in the broader community. The purpose of these sessions was to:

05 GOVERNANCE, METHODOLOGY + SCOPE METHODOLOGY For this report we used available data to measure our baseline environmental and social performance. To facilitate future tracking and reporting we developed a process for ongoing data collection. Where data was challenging to obtain, we used proxy values based on industry benchmark data.

For reporting on our carbon emissions, we focused on Scope 1 (direct) and Scope 2 (indirect) emissions globally. We collected flight data by way of travel records and expense forms. Going forward a universal tracking tool will be used to consistently track flight emissions.

To measure our Equity and Diversity performance we used data collected through the JUST label process. Health and Wellbeing data was obtained partially by survey, through our Fitwel certifications, and partly through internal tracking mechanisms. Education and Impact data was collected by internal tracking mechanisms.

CORPORATE POLICIES Our team has reviewed this report for accuracy and validity. The final report was approved by the CEO, COO and senior-level Integral Group operates within a framework of

SCOPE + STRUCTURE This report contains data from January through December 2017. This is in alignment with our fiscal year and our collection of data for JUST certification. The data in this report pertains to all offices excluding the newly added Sydney office. Our 2018 report will include data tracked from the new Australian regional operation.

This is our first report and our first use of GRI Sustainability Reporting Standards (GRI Standards) as reporting structure. This report contains Standard Disclosures from the GRI G4 Sustainability Reporting Guidelines.

CONTENTS OUR PERFORMANCE

INTEGRAL GROUP 2017 CSER REPORT

06 OUR PERFORMANCE We have defined four areas of focus by which to track and report progress on our broad commitment to sustainability. These themes emerged through conversations and engagement with staff and senior management across Integral Group. They allow us to communicate our vision and values through the lens of CSER. In this section, we report on our performance across a range of environmental and social indicators. Where these have been recorded for the first time, they enable us to create a baseline against which performance can be benchmarked and targets for progress set. Where we have access to a data from previous years, they help us to understand trends over time and to calibrate performance targets for future years.

The performance indicators address a broad sweep of our operations.

These include inward-facing: tracking our policies and grass-roots initiatives that nurture our culture and well-being, to external-facing: focused on fostering a resilient society and nurturing a culture of sustainability.

BY THE NUMBERS Additional data, figures and charts as well as data collection, calculation and estimation methodology can be found in the Appendix.

A. ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT OVERVIEW While we continuously strive for environmental excellence in our project work, this is our first effort to calculate, in aggregate, the environmental impact of our internal operations.

ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITMENT Integral Group is aligning our Global CSER with the following commitments:

To do so we focused on impacts of our everyday operations, which includes occupying office space and the associated resource use (heat, water, electricity, paper, etc.) and our travel footprint (daily commute and flight data).

»»

WorldGBC Net Zero Carbon Commitment

2017 HIGHLIGHTS Each office has its own set of unique challenges but also areas of excellence. The following are examples of where we see early leadership and positive trends:

»»

Our offices that occupy co-working spaces (Seattle, Austin, San Jose) use fewer resources per capita, in part because of energy savings from eliminating office-based servers.

»»

The IT department switched to leased computers rather than purchased equipment this year, reducing electronic waste (e-waste) and financial overhead.

»»

Elementa Consulting in Oxford have gone beyond minimizing the environmental impacts of their projects by asking their suppliers and employees to sign a Personal Environmental Commitment Agreement. If a supplier is not ISO 14001 certified, they are required to sign the Agreement.

»»

The Vancouver office formed a Zero Waste Task Force to develop a prioritized approach to waste management. Vancouver conducted a waste audit to understand the volume and composition of the waste stream, reduce waste generation and improve diversion.

»»

The Oakland office conducted monthly weigh-ins in collaboration with the facilities janitorial team. Tracking showed diversion from landfill ranging from 81-86%.

The Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol outlines three emissions scope categories: direct, indirect and indirect upstream and downstream. For our operations, the elements fall under various scopes, illustrated to the right. We focused our reporting on Scope 1 and 2 emissions, and aligned our targets with the World Green Building Council Zero Emissions commitment by 2020.

Beginning in 2020, we will start to evaluate potential emissions from other areas of the supply chain and investments where applicable.

A. ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT DATA QUALITY TARGETS We measured our 2017 baseline performance using available data. There were challenges associated with data collection due to inaccessible utility data. Where we were unable to obtain real usage data, we used benchmark data. We have identified a data collection process and a path toward improved data quality. The table below illustrates our approach, which is a stepped process from “good” to “better” to “best.”

B. EQUITY + DIVERSITY

INTEGRAL GROUP 2017 CSER REPORT

B. EQUITY + DIVERSITY OVERVIEW We believe a diverse workforce is more innovative and resilient and we are committed to an inclusive and equitable workplace. It’s important that employees feel part of an active and engaged community where they are respected and valued. Currently, the JUST label (more on that below) serves as the primary framework to benchmark our social responsibility.

2017 HIGHLIGHTS DIVERSITY NETWORK This year, staff in the Vancouver office launched a “Diversity Network” series. The aim of the Network is to create space for focused conversations about topics relating to diversity and equity. In addition to the dialogue, the Network generates suggestions and requests for policy changes or company support for internal and external facing diversity initiatives.

This year the Diversity Network organized STEM outreach at all girls primary and secondary schools in Vancouver.

SOCIETY OF WOMEN ENGINEERS We are working hard to encourage women of all ages to explore engineering as a career. This year five female Integral employees presented on career paths in the sustainable building industry at the Society of Women Engineers Annual Conference in Austin, TX. OAKLAND PRIDE In support of their community and as an equal opportunity employer, Integral Oakland supported its LGBTQ + staff, family, friends, and community members by participating in the Oakland Pride Parade and creating rainbow Integral logo shirts.

INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY For the second year in a row, we celebrated the women in our office on International Women’s day. 90% of offices participated in this event. We are committed to creating career pathways for women in the industry, and have an increasing number of women in leadership roles.

INTEGRAL GROUP 2017 CSER REPORT

B. EQUITY + DIVERSITY TRACKING OUR PERFORMANCE JUST LABEL Integral Group was the first engineering firm in the US to pursue the International Living Future Institute (ILFI) JUST Label shortly after it was launched in 2013. The JUST program is a voluntary disclosure tool which serves as a social equity “nutrition label” for organizations.

In 2015, we took our US and Canadian offices through the program individually. Through this process it became evident that we needed to explore social equity from a more integrated firm-wide approach. In 2017 we embarked on a journey to pursue the first ever Global JUST Label inclusive of our Canadian, UK and US offices. ILFI confirmed our submission this year and we are proud to successfully pilot the multi-country label.

The JUST label provides a lens through which to view the social aspects of our business and helps to illuminate our strengths and opportunities for growth. This kind of continual data analysis, reflection and improvement will help make us more resilient as a group by providing a framework for dialogue and engagement with employees and leadership.

B. EQUITY + DIVERSITY #WEAREINTEGRAL #WeAreIntegral is a year-long, firm-wide initiative. This diversity focused initiative represents our commitment to creating an inclusive, supportive space in our offices and our communities through engagement with the various facets of diversity. Although we carry this initiative throughout our daily activities and engagement with our communities, we highlight #WeAreIntegral every year for the entire month of April.

During this month, each region chooses a charity to make donations to and each office in that region holds activities including bake sales, potlucks, or other events to gather donations.

Examples of charities that have been chosen in the past are: Canadian Society for Women in Science and Technology (CSWIST), Society for Women Engineers (SWE) and Oxford Homeless Pathways.

C. HEALTH + WELL-BEING

INTEGRAL GROUP 2017 CSER REPORT

38

C. HEALTH + WELL-BEING OVERVIEW Health + Well-being is a focal point for us when it comes to corporate culture, and increasingly in our approach to the work we do in communities and the built environment. We have a growing number of ambassadors of both WELL and the Fitwel programs, and have begun to certify our offices with Fitwel, demonstrating our commitment to maintenance of healthy indoor environments.

Staff-led wellness committees organize recreational activities in and out of the office, participation in races, and educational seminars to raise awareness about issues related to human health and well-being. Personal wellness helps us feel our best so we can do our best work and make positive change.

2017 HIGHLIGHTS FITWEL We achieved Fitwel certification in 4 of our offices. Our London, UK office was the first Fitwel certified workplace outside of North America. Fitwel is a high-impact building certification standard positioned to optimize building occupant health and productivity through targeted improvements to workplace design and operational policies. Fitwel is based on the idea that all office facilities can be improved through specific, incremental changes, resulting in healthier places to work, regardless of building size, age, or location.

Healthy people and healthy buildings are where the values of Integral thrive.

WELLNESS COMMITTEE Since 2015, the Vancouver office Wellness Committee has been offering bi-monthly activities and events focused on improving the health and happiness of employees. The Committee focuses on three areas: advocacy (e.g. fundraising or awareness campaigns); education (e.g. seminars, speakers, documentaries); and physical activity (e.g. yoga and team sports). Activities include:

C. HEALTH + WELL-BEING LOOKING FORWARD Cataloguing our ongoing activities to encourage Health + Well-being presents the opportunity to set in motion future programs that can meaningfully improve our lives. By understanding our current conditions, we are better able to plan for the future and improve accordingly.

We are committed to enhancing our Health + Well-being standards across the company.

We are using Foobot technology to track indoor air quality in some offices, and plan to roll this out globally in future years. The monitors track information such as pollution levels and temperature variation. Based on this data we are able to adjust our systems to achieve optimum levels of comfort and air quality.

We will continue to engage staff to understand employee interests and priorities around Health + Wellbeing. Our actions are and will continue to be a reflection of engagement sessions, happiness surveys, and wellness committee requests.

Next year we will initiate or expand upon the following initiatives:

»»

Continue to certify our offices with industry leading occupant health standards

»»

Support and encourage staff to use healthy, active modes of transportation

»»

Introduce food purchasing guidelines emphasizing healthy food choices

»»

D. EDUCATION + IMPACT

INTEGRAL GROUP 2017 CSER REPORT

D. EDUCATION + IMPACT OVERVIEW Education + Impact are about our ongoing commitment to professional development, including holding internal and external educational seminars and contributing in other ways to our local communities. While we have a policy relating to professional development, and internal educational series run in many of our offices, there is an opportunity to develop a global commitment and consistent approach to education and impact.

Examples of our approach to education and impact include STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) outreach in schools, attending and presenting at conferences, internal professional development (such as PassivHaus training), individual and group volunteering, and contributing to the community through seasonal campaigns.

2017 HIGHLIGHTS THE IMPACT FUND The Impact Fund is an internal research & development program aimed at accelerating innovation by providing funding to employees for successful research proposals related to zero net energy, water or waste, urban systems, building technology, data visualization, and resilience and adaptation. The intent of the Impact Fund is to provide employees with a platform to pursue their research interests while insuring we remain on the cutting edge of building science.

INSPIRATION SERIES The Inspiration Series is a quarterly internal event designed to elevate employee awareness of the various dimensions of sustainability.

Speakers are selected to explain new policy directions relevant to our work, as well as to broaden our understanding of social and environmental concerns and innovative solutions beyond the building scale. Topics of past Inspiration Series presentations include: the BC Climate Action Plan, the potential of tall wood buildings, zero emissions building plans, sustainable neighbourhood design, climate change adaptation and resilience, regenerative design, community solar initiatives, and healthy city strategies.

SHARING OUR WORK This past year, employees presented their work at 50+ conferences, panels, workshops, and public events including the Canadian and Brazilian Green Building Conferences (Vancouver, Sao Paolo), ILFI Living Future Conference (Seattle), and Eco Districts (Atlanta).

Our audience ranged from university students to experts in building science. We published articles in the CIBSE Journal, Modern Building Services and the New London Quarterly.

43

INTEGRAL GROUP 2017 CSER REPORT

D. EDUCATION + IMPACT MENTORSHIP PROGRAM This year Oakland introduced a new Mentor Program to help new employees settle into the workplace. By building these internal relationships, Oakland is able to create valuable connections while fostering collaboration and innovation within their office. This value on relationships strengthens our ability to work together and produce the best work possible.

DESIGN SERIES Integral Group’s Design Series is a bi-monthly internal speaker series designed to empower staff to design better, ensure design infirmity across the company, and address some of the educational gaps between university and professional practice. This internal event offers staff an opportunity to form relationships with peers outside of the company, and ensures that Integral staff are up to date or ahead of industry standards.

OUTREACH IN SCHOOLS AND UNIVERSITIES Outreach activities include hosting work experience students, mentorship, mock interviews and presentations, and ultimately helping to inspire the next generation of engineers.

Last year we invited university students to the London Office for a wellness talk and made presentations at local universities about careers in building services engineering.
