OUR CULTURE OF SAFETY We build safe
OUR GOVERNANCE We build with integrity
Together, we build the extraordinary. The STO Building Group is a privately-owned family of top-tier builders who operate collaboratively, innovate uniquely, and join powerfully to put our clients first. Unlike any construction company in the industry, each of our builders is empowered to stay true to their distinct business model and heritage while sharing coveted construction resources—like real-time data, lessons learned, trade relationships, bonding, and buying power. Drawing on each other’s strengths, we can tackle literally any type of new building, renovation, or repositioning project—from residential and commercial towers, data centers, hospitals, and warehouses to laboratories, museums, hotels, and places of learning. That’s the power of our platform at work.

What does it mean to be a “socially responsible” organization? While answers to that question may differ from source to source, we consider it our responsibility—and our duty—to do the right thing in all facets of our operation. In this report, we highlight how we worked toward that goal in 2023, from the opportunities and support we provide to our people and our communities, to the way we run our business to ensure we understand our impact on the environment, our clients, and the people who depend on us. We have built a community of employees who care about that impact, and they show it through their work—whether that’s developing and implementing our programs and policies, planning and building our projects, strengthening our relationships with clients and partners, or giving back to our communities. We’re proud of the progress we made in 2023, which we strive to align with the objectives set out in the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. You can find more on how we stack up at the end of this report. As always, this publication reflects our ongoing work to create a lasting and positive impact, and we’re inspired by these continued opportunities to improve, grow, and develop.

WOMEN IN CONSTRUC TION The face of construction is shifting. From the demographic of the workforce to the ideas these new faces bring to the table, our industry has become a more diverse and exciting environment—and we’re just getting started. STOBG WIC (STO Building Group Women in Construction) is an internal, inclusive group committed to ensuring STOBG is at the forefront of this change by creating professional development opportunities for our staff, offering industry networking opportunities to men and women of all levels, and giving back in ways that benefit the women and girls in our communities who hope to build their own careers.
N AT I O N A L W I C S U M M I T
STOBG MENTORING PROGRAM
In October 2023, women from across the STOBG family of builders convened in Dallas, Texas to network, brainstorm solutions to challenges, and update goals for the WIC team. Inspired by a panel of STOBG women who work in the field, the team honed in on how they want to share information, recognize accomplishments, identify professional development opportunities, and foster mentor/mentee relationships.
This year, our STOBG WIC group launched a pilot mentoring program to link women within the STOBG family of companies to professionals outside of their usual circle for inspiration, advice, and a sense of connection to their professional careers. The 6-month pilot program included 23 pairings of both male and female mentors across 8 of our 14 operating companies and focused on matching complementary skill sets, building relationships, and empowering each other to learn and grow.

SUPPORTING DIVERSE BUSINESSES
STO BUILDING GROUP | STOBG CARES: OUR PEOPLE | 2024 | 7
We understand the importance of a collaborative team and are committed to building a more diverse and inclusive workforce in our offices, on our jobsites, and in our partnerships. Over the last year, STOBG’s Diversity & Inclusion Steering Committee (DISC) has continued to drive this change within our organization, while our local leaders focus on developing innovative ways to engage, mentor, and partner with minority-owned businesses within their communities. Here are some of the highlights:
D E V E L O P I N G TA L E N T Ajax has a number of programs to support and develop underserved communities and businesses. One of those is their Talent Hub—a program to engage, train, and develop local workers with circumstances that have prevented them from gainful employment. The Talent Hub helps these disadvantaged workers complete their education, join a training or apprenticeship program, and connect with subcontractors for potential work on projects in their communities.
T R A D E PA R T N E R EQUITY PROGRAM
BUILDING TOGE THER, BREAKING BARRIERS: THE ENTERPRISE CENTER
This year, Abbott Construction launched their Trade Partner Equity Program (TPEP)—an educational and mentorship resource designed to help small, minority, and women business enterprise (SMWBE) firms become more marketable, competitive, efficient, and sustainable.
When The Enterprise Center—an institution committed to promoting racial and economic equality and the growth of small businesses—had the opportunity to build a new community resource center in the heart of West Philadelphia, they knew they wanted to approach the project differently. The team decided to bring the 3,000sf, three-story community hub to life through 100% MBE participation. As a long-time Enterprise Center partner, LF Driscoll signed on as the pro bono prime contractor, providing mentorship to the project’s minority-owned construction businesses and to The Enterprise Center.

BUILDING OPPORTUNIT Y
We believe in nurturing the next generation of talent. From designing unique internship experiences for aspiring construction professionals to empowering our interns to think outside the box and bring their ideas to life, we are committed to fostering creativity and innovation among the newest members of our team. Award-Winning Experience
Expanding Our Network with Intention
In Boston, our sustainability intern was able to turn her experiences into an industry award! Drushti Shah earned the “Student Project of the Year” award from Built Environment Plus for her work with Structure Tone to capture construction waste data. Drushti’s work has been critical in providing data to our clients to help them meet their goals and in addressing deficiencies in industry reporting.
When it comes to recruiting talented and diverse candidates, STOBG aims to go above and beyond the industry standard—and we invest in leaders with innovative ideas to do so. During his undergraduate studies, engineering major Anthonio Thomas realized his university didn’t have an official engineering career fair. Determined to build his own network and help his colleagues do the same, Anthonio leveraged his local NSBE (National Society of Black Engineers) chapter and organized the first student-run career fair for engineering students at Fairleigh Dickinson University.
“I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the incredible opportunity you’ve given me to work,” Drushti said. “I look forward to continuing to learn and grow within this dynamic and forward-thinking group. Your leadership and support have been invaluable in helping me develop.”
Anthonio is now a full-time project engineer in Structure Tone’s New Jersey office and has partnered with STOBG’s human resources team, NSBE, and his alma mater to support and encourage more diverse students to pursue degrees in STEM.

Connecting to the Community
The Futures Award program provides a financial award, mentorship, and internship opportunities at Govan Brown to students with dreams of joining the construction industry. This year, the program evolved to reflect the diversity of what it means to be in construction by adding the Trades Management Futures Award, further reducing barriers for underrepresented groups in all facets of construction.
Again this year, Structure Tone Southwest welcomed four new participants in the Student Worker program through their partnership with Cristo Rey Dallas College Prep. Cristo Rey is a network of high schools that aim to provide career-focused college preparatory education and hands-on experience to students with limited economic resources.

CEO AC TION STO Building Group is a proud member of CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion—an organization founded on the belief that diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging is a societal issue, and that increasing levels of communication and collaboration are vital to driving change that matters. Both before and since making that commitment, STOBG and our builders have engaged in events, campaigns, programs, and processes to foster understanding and advance DEIB in the workplace throughout the year.
CEO ROUNDTABLE
Again this year, CEO Bob Mullen hosted CEO Roundtable Discussions across the STOBG family of builders—from San Francisco and Seattle to Dublin, Ireland. Through these conversations, Bob was able to connect with some of STOBG’s best and brightest—at all levels and from various business units— to learn about their experiences, unique challenges, and suggestions on how we can continue to strengthen our culture.
CONSTRUC TION INCLUSION WEEK
STO Building Group not only celebrated Construction Inclusion Week in 2023, but we signed on as an official sponsor and ambassador. This elevated position has allowed us to set the tone of inclusion and belonging across the industry, but also holds us accountable to clearly demonstrated actions related to DEIB.
Here are some of the ways we upheld that commitment.
DEIB PANELS
Throughout the year, our companies hosted discussion panels for our employees and partners to share their experiences and foster a culture of inclusion. During Black History Month, for example, Ajax Building Company organized two panel interviews to celebrate and honor Black history and cultural heritage. The conversations focused on economic equity and the history behind historically black colleges and universities. The discussions were shared on our podcast feed—listen here! > Click for more info

INVESTING IN OUR FUTURE: EMPLOYEE O WNERSHIP In 2017, STOBG reorganized the company’s ownership structure to pave the way for employee ownership. Today, employees have the opportunity to buy shares in GISI, STOBG’s parent organization. By shifting ownership to our employees, we’ve opened the door for our staff to become even more invested in the company’s success—literally. While our staff has always been dedicated to our values and our mission, allowing them to actually become owners of the company creates an even greater collective sense of pride and true ownership in the performance of their team and their colleagues. This approach to ownership is unique for our industry, allowing employees of all roles, seniority, and responsibilities to invest. Over half of our employees now own shares in the company, which they can purchase directly or through convenient payroll deduction. Currently, the company also offers a 20% RSU (restricted share unit) match on share purchases, which will vest into Class A shares after three years.

MENTAL HEALTH AT STOBG Y O U M AT T E R . W E C A R E . Mental health continues to be referred to as “the silent epidemic” for construction workers. In fact, a recent study by the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) indicates that the suicide rate for construction workers in the US is the second highest of all industries. At STOBG, we’re working to change that. This year, our Mental Health & Wellbeing Committee led campaigns throughout the year to highlight mental health awareness, encourage checking in on one another, and share the many mental health resources the company provides access to.
MENTAL HEALTH TOOLKITS The committee created “toolkits” for US and International-based employees that provide a one-stop-shop for mental health. These toolkits include links to such resources as:
Hotline Numbers
Free Courses
Counseling Services
Articles
Self-Care Tools

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Our programs aim to develop careers—at every level. Several of our programs bring students into the fold early, and we continue offering real-life experience and quality education through programs that evolve as employees’ careers move forward.
Apprenticeships: We partner with local schools to recruit young people interested in working in the trades. Our apprentices work under the supervision of a superintendent for several years while we invest in helping them complete their certification or degree program. Through this program, they get on-the-job training while completing their education.
Internships: We offer internship and co-op opportunities throughout the year in virtually every discipline—from operations-based field positions to corporate service teams like finance and marketing. We put learning at the center of the intern experience, making sure their time here prepares them for the next step in their career.
TOC
Rotating Professional Engineer: Our “RPE” program is a formal rotation over two to three years across the major disciplines of field operations, safety, estimating/ purchasing, and engineering. These long-term work experiences, combined with training and networking opportunities, give those new to the industry a well-rounded view of the options for their careers, plus practical experience in all kinds of construction management tactics and techniques.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Our programs aim to develop careers—at every level of a career. Several of our programs bring students into the fold early, and we continue offering real-life experience and quality education through programs that evolve as employees’ careers move forward.
Emerging Leaders: STOBG’s Emerging Leaders program brings our next generation of leaders together to take a proactive role in guiding the future of our organization. The program’s stated mission is to provide an opportunity for Emerging Leaders to see deeper into the culture of the organization, offer workshops for their development as managers, and empower them to initiate evolution and change within our organization and the wider industry.
SkillBridge: A prevailing challenge for military servicemembers is transitioning to a civilian career. This year, Structure Tone Southwest took on the challenge of combating this issue by participating in the US Department of Defense’s SkillBridge program. SkillBridge connects service members with valuable civilian work experience during their last 180 days of active-duty service. This way, our veterans get a head start on their next career move while the employer benefits from highly motivated and uniquely qualified job candidates.

JON FERGUSON Layton Construction à STOBG’s VDC Leader
STOBG Corporate Marketing in NYCà Charleston, SC
Shirley originally joined Structure Tone New York as a marketing coordinator in 2021. An architect by trade, Shirley found herself interested in exploring opportunities in operations within the NYC office. In 2023, she transitioned to the role of assistant project manager on the LF Driscoll Healthcare team.
When STOBG was looking to expand the organization’s VDC program across the board, they had to look no further than their colleague, Jon. With just under 12 years of experience building Layton Construction’s VDC capabilities, Jon was able to seamlessly step into his new role as VP and leader of virtual design and construction at STOBG.
When Molly and her family decided to move away from the New York area, she reached out to see if it would be possible to continue in her role as regional marketing director from a new location. With buy-in from leadership, she and her family moved to South Carolina earlier this year, where she works out of Ajax’s office in Charleston.

Learning 360° blends training from across our industry—as well as from our in-house experts—on construction and business topics across the board. From specific software skills, to improving our client relations efforts, to our in-house safety training, Learning 360° is a collection of learning programs and curated curricula created to help our people and our business be the leaders of our industry, from the inside, out.
We believe that development starts with each employee owning their growth. Learning 360° provides a single place to manage their goals, performance, skills, expertise, industry certifications, and knowledge.
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT We’re on a mission to make sure STO Building Group remains a great place to work, where every employee feels valued, respected, engaged, and on a career path that inspires them. To help with that, we listen to our employees through a variety of methods, including: Surveys: Our annual employee engagement survey, administered in partnership with Gallup, collects important employee feedback and provides insightful data. Centers of Excellence & Innovation: Led by members from across STOBG, these focus groups help our Operations, Purchasing, and VDC teams improve our processes. In 2024, Scheduling and Estimating will be added to the list. These programs and many more offer additional avenues for our employees to share their feedback and further opportunities for leaders of all levels to listen and take action.

AEC ANGELS: D R I V I N G I N N O V AT I O N FROM WITHIN In 2020, STO Building Group joined a team of fellow industry giants to form the AEC Angels, a venture fund covering seed through Series B+ investments in AEC industry solutions. Why? We were seeing tools hitting the market that didn’t necessarily connect to each other or the real world of building development. We wanted to drive innovative change from within. This group—which includes STOBG, Thornton Tomasetti, Syska Hennessy, and SHoP Architects—are the direct users of AEC technologies and have first-hand experiences with and insights into the challenges these tools seek to address. We leverage our partnerships to assess what tools and technologies are in development and which ones have the most promise to move our industry forward, and we invest accordingly.

THE CONTRAC TOR’S COMMITMENT In 2021, several STOBG companies signed on to the Contractor’s Commitment, a pledge created by contractors for contractors, to set sustainability targets and measure their progress—divided into Good, Better, or Best tiers. By pledging to the Contractor’s Commitment, BCCI, Ajax Building Company, Abbott Construction Los Angeles, and Structure Tone New York joined a larger movement to impact the sustainability of building projects and inspired others, including subcontractors and clients, to follow suit.
Contractors who sign the commitment pledge to meet a series of goals in five categories:
Tracking Targets Have you heard of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)? This global effort intends to drive ambitious climate action in the private sector by enabling organizations to set science-based emissions reduction targets. Two STOBG builders—Structure Tone and Structure Tone International— have signed a commitment to the SBTi so far, which means they will: 1. Craft and submit carbon emission reduction goals
Carbon Reduction How well a contractor reduces carbon emissions
Jobsite Wellness Fostering wellness (clean air, nourishment, mental health, etc.) for anyone working in jobsite offices
Waste Management
Water Management
Material Selection
Promoting waste diversion, whether seeking green building certification or not

MASS TIMBER: CHANGING THE GAME
Buildings, construction, and building materials account for nearly 40% of global carbon emissions. This year, STO Building Group teams have continued to build complex mass timber projects across North America and in Europe to help our clients tackle the embodied carbon challenge.
L’ORÉAL
SOUTHSTONE YARDS
PRINCETON ART MUSEUM
L’Oréal USA is constructing a new, state-of-the-art Research & Innovation (R&I) Center in Clark, New Jersey. Reinforcing the company’s “L’Oréal for the Future” sustainability commitment, the $140 million development project is designed to the highest sustainability standards—including using mass timber in the structure. The Structure Tone New Jersey team has installed nearly 90,000sf of cross-laminated timber (CLT) decking on the project so far. The project is seeking both LEED and WELL certifications.
Located in Frisco, Texas, the 250,000sf Southstone Yards project combines a mass timber structural frame with a concrete core, forming a seven-story office building integrated with an attached parking garage. Managed by Structure Tone Southwest, the development features the first mass timber office building in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and is pursuing LEED certification.
The Princeton University Art Museum’s recent renovation aimed to make one of the oldest art collecting institutions in North America more accessible to patrons. Led by LF Driscoll, the 144,000sf facility’s design leverages a unique combination of concrete, structural steel, bronze, and glulam (glued laminated timber) beams—a distinct combination that required strategic logistical planning and collaboration. The project is seeking LEED certification.

REDUCING WASTE ON THE JOBSITE
By its nature, the construction process often involves debris—which becomes waste. STO Building Group is constantly improving our processes and piloting new tools to help us reduce waste, conserve resources, and share lessons learned with our partners.
SAVING WATER ON THE JOB C
Construction sites are known for their excessive water usage and generation of liquid waste—both of which have a negative impact on the environment. To reduced water usage on-site, Structure Tone New York has introduced WASHBOX, an innovative solution that aims to reduce temporary water use and eliminate liquid waste from entering the sewer system. Ideal for painters, tapers, plasterers, and tile workers, WASHBOX is a mobile unit that can capture and filter water used by wet trades during construction when washing their hand tools throughout the day. The system is self-contained, can be easily transported to different jobsites, and is designed help contractors minimize the environmental impact of their projects.
Learn more about WASHBOX and how we’re using it to conserve water
DIVERTING WASTE FROM LANDFILLS How can the construction industry improve our waste practices to help promote a cleaner, more circular future? Site separation is key, and we’re learning that superintendents play maybe the most critical role in ensuring this practice is implemented successfully on the jobsite. Here’s how our Structure Tone Boston team has been helping field teams implement, manage, and replicate successful on-site waste separation.

SAVING OUR BEES Honeybees play an essential part in our ecosystem, and offices across STO Building Group have committed to raising and conserving them—from Toronto to New York City to Dublin. Govan Brown’s Toronto office introduced a beehive to their courtyard in June 2020, which has since multiplied by almost eight times! Structure Tone Dublin has also been buzzing. The office has teamed with Host in Ireland to halt the decline of bees in Ireland by planting over 1,000 orchards. In partnership with Alvéole, Structure Tone NY hosts over 22,500 honeybees to help change the perspective of the urban environment and reconnect communities with nature while also promoting biodiversity.

STO BUILDING GROUP | STOBG CARES: OUR CULTURE OF SAFETY | 2024 | 35
OUR CULTURE OF SAFETY Our approach to safety is different. For us, safety is a passion, not an obligation. We believe that everyone in our workplaces and on our jobsites should be safe—from our employees and our workforce to our clients and their visitors. We live out this commitment and culture through our Safety 360° initiative. #WeBuildSafe
TOC
STO BUILDING GROUP | STOBG CARES: OUR CULTURE OF SAFETY | 2024 | 36
SAFET Y 360º PHILOSOPHY Safety 360° is a pillar of STOBG’s identity. This philosophy embraces encouraging behavioral change and taking a 360-degree view of safety on the job and in our personal lives. The program empowers all of us—from the office to the jobsite—to be safety champions. The key principles of this philosophy are:
AWA R E N E S S
POSITIVITY
The program fosters a 360-degree view of safety, physically and philosophically. We expect active engagement from all employees in their immediate environment, as well as awareness of what’s happening above, below and next to them. It also means that we look out for one another’s physical and mental safety, speak up about potential safety issues, and are as invested in safety as our safety staff.
Safety 360° relies on positive reinforcement to inspire project teams and employees at all levels to achieve the highest level of safety. Company leaders set the example by discussing safety with their teams on a regular basis, walking through project sites, holding principals’ meetings with subcontractors, and hosting five-worker lunches. The program also recognizes projects, teams, and individuals for exemplary safety performance. Regular feedback, engagement, and coaching are at the program’s core and drive STOBG’s efforts to foster a lasting and positive safety culture across the organization.
SHARED RESPONSIBILITY Each and every employee receives safety coaching. We believe that the best way to increase awareness and action is to increase responsibility, so our superintendents, project managers, and even our office-based employees are as engaged in safety as our dedicated safety department team members.
B E H AV I O R Behavior is the primary contributing cause of over 80% of accidents. With that in mind, the primary goal of our Safety 360° approach is to avoid risky behaviors altogether. Through behavior-based safety coaching, we are helping staff take a more active role in supporting a strong safety culture that solicits feedback, engages the workforce, and empowers people to make a difference.

B U I L D I N G C U LT U R E Upon joining STO Building Group, new staff attend Safety 360° training to learn about our safety culture of caring and engagement. We also work with our clients to make sure they understand and play a role in this culture of safety. Our strong Safety 360° culture—which includes sharing email reminders, safety moments, safety stories, and lessons learned— resolutely supports our efforts to protect our staff, our workers, and the public.
EVERYBODY, EVERY WHERE, EVERY DAY

STOBG SAFE T Y COUNCIL In addition to Safety 360°, our corporate Safety and Health Program defines safety and loss prevention management and the implementation requirements for our construction operations. This manual, which is available as a reference at all STOBG offices and project sites, serves as the foundation for our project-specific programs.
Initiated in 2020 by CEO Bob Mullen, our Safety Council includes executive leadership, industry partners, and client participants committed to fostering a safety culture based on open dialogue, support, engagement, and continuous leadership. The council aims to:
As part of the daily course of our construction management services, we monitor the standards and procedures for protecting the safety of the public, local residents, and our construction crews throughout the project. We conduct thorough audits to make sure our teams are adhering to our standards and procedures and that everyone has a voice in keeping our sites safe.
• Encourage and reward positive behaviors.
• Promote safety as everyone’s responsibility. • Strive for zero workplace injuries. • Continuously promote our culture internally and externally. • Listen and carefully consider any safety concern raised by our team. • Understand the needs and circumstances of others. • Treat all individuals equitably, professionally, and with dignity and respect. • Ensure that our policies support the culture we strive to achieve. • Assess and investigate opportunities to create a safer work environment.

SHEQ Committee Our board of directors’ Safety, Health, Environment, and Quality (SHEQ) committee focuses not only on those topics, but also training, social responsibility, measurement, and progress. This year, the committee: • Addressed distractions to focus attention on core safety
priorities • Oversaw efforts to improve data analytics • Required executive leadership engagement in all “lost time” accident reviews
