For one this is the first year that we have published a combined sustainability report detailing all the great strides we have made and setting new benchmarks as we move forward together Secondly we have made incredible progress in aligning our services operations and philosophies At the core of this alliance is the indelible belief that design can solve the challenges of the human race and uplift communities everywhere

With that in mind it has been a good year for sustainable building practices Among other achievements that follow in this report

Letter from our CEOCallisonRTKL influenced the design of more than 100 million square feet of built work in 2015 and increased the number of projects implementing Performance-Driven Design principles by 25 Moreover we nearly doubled the amount of our revenue that came from sustainable projects over the previous year

This is an exciting time for our practice Our people continue to be our most valuable asset and knowing the innovation creativity and goodwill that is the foundation of everything they do I truly look forward to the future of our company and the future of the sustainably-built environment

In 2015 Callison and RTKL came together to enrich lives and create design solutions to the complex issues of our clients our world and our time This yearrsquos Sustainability Report is the culmination of our first full year together showing our progress toward our goals and where our

collective path leads us As with any arranged marriage there have been some ups and downs but we can confidently say that CallisonRTKL is stronger than ever and we have a combined will to drive value using Performance-Driven Design (PDD) strategies This past year we have found new revenue streams for our shopping center and entertainment destinations implemented strategies that increase productivity by 15 for our workplace clients streamlined

operations through smart space planning in our healthcare practice and increased revenue per square foot for our store designs Across all practice groups we are seeing increased green activity and we look forward to solving more problems with innovative design solutions in 2016

We are now almost 1800 professionals with offices in 17 global locations and projects in 109 countries With great size comes great responsibility and we take that responsibility seriously We have invested time and money to educate our employees in the language of sustainability we have improved the number of projects that are reporting a pEUI and LPD and increased our overall percentage of work that is seeking a third-party green certification We are proud of what we have accomplished but know that we have more to do

In our two separate sustainability reports for 2014 (Callison RTKL) we made a number of projections on our progress we reached many of our goals but we continue to work toward others in 2016 For instance one of last yearrsquos goals was to increase the number of projects in the DASH an internal platform that visually benchmarks our projects against each other and we have not been able to do this in a significant way We feel confident that we will be able to achieve this goal in 2016 We also did not set minimum performance targets for all projects as detailed in last yearrsquos reports As our two firms came together we went through a process of assessing our separate sustainability policies and we are now poised to reach further together and focus on reasonable performance targets for our project work

2015 Notable Accomplishments

Go to Contents Page


As we reflect back on our accomplishments in 2015 the most notable is that two remarkable firms have come together to form one highly experienced innovative and impactful practice Through our project work we have been able to influence the design of over 100 million square feet of the built environment in 2015 and used PDD as a strategy to improve the value of our work CallisonRTKL has increased our energy reduction percentage the education and training of our employees and our market share of the green building space

In 2015 CallisonRTKL influenced more than 100 million SF of the

built environment equal to 37 Empire

State Buildings


In 2014 we reported that our energy reduction percentage was 25 a far cry from the goal of 60 as set by Ed Mazria in the Architecture 2030 challenge

This year the target is 70 (raises every 5 years until energy neutral in 2030) and our percentage reported is 28 Although our number falls short of the goal set one of the main reasons is that we were able to report

Architecture 2030 Updateon many more projects this year which is truly something to celebrate

Our total number of reported projects increased dramatically due to the new key performance indicator (KPI) for DDx that facilitates uploading the data for multiple projects at once This KPI was created by the AIA and CallisonRTKL was one of the first firms to support and fund this new tool through the work of the Large Firm Roundtable We are happy to announce that this year we will be able to upload project information for more than 40 times the number of projects we reported on last year We have also increased the number of projects reporting EUI and LPD by 20 As a large firm that works on thousands of projects across all of our offices every year the ability to report on more projects helps us get closer to the goal of reporting a pEUI or LPD on 100 of our projects 2014

2015 was a year in which we not only doubled in size but had the opportunity to harness the impact that a large firm can have on our world We volunteered more hours than ever before we participated with more organizations than ever and we brought two world-class architecture and design firms together under the Arcadis umbrella Legacy Callison and RTKL both have strong histories rooted in knowing clients their businesses and using design to achieve both beauty and value Joining forces improved almost all categories that we measured last year in our individual Sustainability Reports and we achieved many of the goals we set for ourselves

First some logistics legacy Callison had two practice groups and legacy RTKL had three We now have four practice groups with commercial accounting for just over

60 of our revenue followed by healthcare then retail and workplace However when we look at the percentage of revenue within each practice group coming from sustainably minded projects the story changes significantly Workplace tops the list followed by healthcare commercial and retail Going forward we will be able to better track the progress of sustainable work as we use this year as a baseline forfuture reports

This past year was also the first year that legacy Callison reported to Arcadis for the company-wide Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) report This report focuses on the composition of our offices what kind of greenhouse gases (GHG) we emit and how sustainable our procurement practices are We are happy to report that joining forces under the banner of CSR helped raise the positive metrics and lower

We have identified some areas for improvement that not only make financial sense but also positively impact our people and the planet Next year we hope to show that our recycled content paper percentage is higher our GHG emissions per person are lower and our employee base is more diverse Along with analyzing our financials and logistics we also evaluated how we invest in our people Providing educational opportunities for our employees at all levels is a key tenet of each legacy firm and now the combined company the people who have been offered the training

pass our number will rise to almost 45 We expect to continue to increase the number of accredited professionals not only in LEED but also in BREEAM Pearl Qualified Professionals and Lean Six Sigma Green Belt certificationThe Institute of Industrial Engineers hosts Green Belt Level certification courses lasting three days with a final exam at the end So far 22 CallisonRTKL employees all in our healthcare practice group have taken and passed the exam and another 12 are scheduled to do so this year Employees come out of the course with the knowledge to positively

Third-Party SustainabilityCertification Programs

LEEDLeadership in Energy and Environmental Design is a sustainable building certification program run by the US Green Building Council (USGBC)

BREEAMBuilding Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Methodology is popular in the UK and was the first sustainability rating system

Estidama and Pearl Rating SystemEstidama is a sustainable building design methodology under which the Pearl rating system evaluates buildings This program is mandatory for construction in Abu Dhabi and popular in the Middle East

Lean Six Sigma Green BeltA methodology that relies on a collaborative team effort to improve performance by systematically removing waste Specifically eight types of waste Time Inventory Motion Waiting Over production Over processing Defects and Skills

There was a significant disparity between the firms in the percentage of employees who had achieved LEED accreditation We recognized this issue early on and offered training for each of the domestic offices to help employees at all levels and positions prepare for the LEED Green Associate exam

Third-party accreditation continues to be an important part of our sustainable design practice as studying and passing a rigorous test on a well-rounded rating system empowers our people to fluently speak the language of sustainability and encourages them to push harder with our clients for better performing buildings and spaces At the time of this report we have held training workshops with an outside consultant for five of our eight domestic offices and trained an additional 154 people For the people that have taken the exam we have achieved a 100 pass rate This has improved our total number of third-party accredited professionals to 39 and we are beating the industry average of 35 If all of

impact output increase quality and reduce errors Other takeaways include the ability to define the value of a product or service from the customerrsquos perspective map the value stream identify and create strategies to eliminate waste learn ways to establish flow and implement pull systems and apply basic continuous improvement tools to pursue perfection CallisonRTKL employees also use these principles to better understand the patient experience and care process Rudy Santacroce a vice president in our Dallas office is a certified Lean Six Sigma Black Belt and has been leading this effort Lean is not just a buzzword for us but an integral part of how we design projects for operational excellence

Both LEED and Lean are examples of how CallisonRTKL encourages employees to educate themselves in the programs and certifications that matter to our clients and their specific businesses While we are seen as a leader by our clients we also excel among our industry peer group One measure of this is the Architecture 2030 Commitment discussed on page 9 of this

report but getting to these measures took a lot of collaboration When our two groups came together it became apparent that each firm had different policies and methods of tracking and modeling energy consumption One of the larger undertakings within the context of bringing the two companies together was standardizing the two sets of policies and creating common goals and a framework with which to report our project work for the 2030 Commitment In 2016 we will have all applicable projects report their pEUI (new construction or major renovation) or LPD (interior projects) to the PDD team and input into our internal database for visualization in the DASH

2015 Platinum Member USGBC

This will also facilitate easier transfer into DDx for the AIA 2030 Commitment tracking The DASH allows us to benchmark our projects based on size location market sector andor predicted energy consumption This knowledges helps our project teams determine what is reasonable to try and achieve on a new project and is a tool to encourage better outcomes on projects Modeling is one of the best ways to reduce energy consumptionof a project

As part of our overall goal to reduce the energy consumption of our projects third-party certification are an important piece and an easy way to ensure that project teams look holistically at a buildingrsquos performance and impact on resources The average LEED project uses significantly less energy and water than similar buildings and if CallisonRTKL had all of our buildings achieve these reductions the impact would be profound As of December 2015 the firm has more than 115 projects LEED certified for over 21 Million SF a 12 increase from 2014 and we increased our registered work by 20 in one year

2015 was a monumental year for taking better care of each other and the planet In ldquoLaudato sirsquordquo the Pope urged 12 billion Catholics to be greener and care for our common home the countries involved in the UN COP 21 took historic steps to combat climate change and widely published data showed that green building and design have become thoroughly mainstream

Industry reports have found that globally green building continues to double every three years and that emerging economies including Brazil India Saudi Arabia and South Africa will drive green growth two to six-fold over the next three years Expansion will

continue in developed countries including the US Germany and the UK The World Green Building Trends report from Dodge Analytics showed that the percentage of respondents doubled who said that more than 60 of their projects will be green by 2018 From a business standpoint one of the most encouraging statistics about green buildings is that they command a 7 increase in asset value over traditional buildings Couple that with the fact that the top trigger for building green is client demand and it is easy to see why the green building industry is on the move

Third-party green certified work is on the rise for the industry in general (101) but CallisonRTKLrsquos percentage of green certified projects is nearly three times the global increase According to the USGBC as of August 1 2015 more than 138 billion SF of building space globally is LEED-certified overall and 464 million SF of that real estate was certified since the beginning of 2015 Of that 43 was outside of the US This is crucial because buildings

Source World Green Building Trends 2016 Fact


are one of the biggest consumers of natural resources and in the US they account for 38 of all CO2 emissions and 73 of electrical consumption However LEED certified buildings have been shown to consume 25 less energy and 11 less water reduce operational costs by 19 have 27 better occupant satisfaction and emit 34 less greenhouse gas

Additionally energy consumption by the US government is at its lowest level since 1975 and growth in green construction spending is currently outpacing non-green construction spending for the first time ever Building green is here to stay and has an increasingly bright future However this future changes

depending on the market sector Retail for example accounts for almost half (43) of the commercial space in the UK and retail outlets are the biggest emitters of CO2 in the commercial property sector

Promisingly the concept of health well-being and productivity is encouraging the entire retail industry to rethink sustainability and shift away from a focus on external environmental risks and cost avoidance to an assessment of internal opportunities that gain value The retail sector is now leveraging sustainability into overall company value by showing how an agenda based on health and well-being relates to sustainable buildings and influences profit As an example most people

have heard about the Walmart study that showed a 40 increase in sales in areas that introduced daylight the lesser known finding in the same study was that resulting profit per square foot was about 20 times the savings in energy costs Saving energy is good but increasing revenue at the same time is even better

In 2015 for the first time the percentage of money spent on green construction is more than non-green construction

2015 was an exciting year Our two legacy practices learned a great deal from each other and the industry The architecture market is growing and the green building outlook is bright CallisonRTKL is re-focusing our attention on project work and making a difference with each project that we design Seeking to report a pEUI or LPD for every applicable project is a lofty goal but we have the support of thousands all driven to be creative and have a measurable positive impact We like to say that Performance-Driven Design is applicable for any project at any time in any location and we have three new goals to help us sustain that vision

Increase projectdata in the DASH The DASH makes the collection of project data visual and accessible If a picture speaks a thousand words then data visualization speaks a million The goal for 2016 is to have projects show up as best-in-class internally and entice project teams to do better to push harder and to have their projects listed as number one By using friendly competition we will help drive the performance of all our projects

1


Enhance our culture of intelligent innovations and impactful outcomesWhen we think about why our clients hire us it is because we are smart effective and know how to provide design solutions that solve the problems they face When we think about why a potential employee chooses to work for CallisonRTKL it is because we have great projects do great work and create a culture that is supportive and exciting We want 2016 to be the year that we re-invigorate design with data performance and beauty harness big data and drive our project work in a new direction This is how we will continue to inspire our people challenge the norm and set new standards for disruptive design solutions

3Third-party training for international officesBy the middle of 2016 we will have provided all domestic offices with LEED GAAP training Our goal for 2016 is to roll out training for regionally appropriate rating systems in our international offices This is especially important in light of the fact that nearly 60 of our projects are outside of the United States along with nearly 30 of our employees
