Substance Architecture is proud to announce our status as a Just organization. The Just Program, provided through the International Living Future Institute (ILFI), assesses company culture in areas related to equity and social justice. It focuses on employee experience, health, well-being, and meaningful community connections. It uplifts the understanding that it is people who make up businesses and communities and that people are the core of creating a Living Future. Rather than a certification program, Just is a voluntary disclosure tool that provides a guide for organizations to create meaningful policies and actions that increase positive impact over time.
We chose to embark on this journey because we believe it’s the right thing to do for our people, our clients, our community, and the world in which we live. We want to continuously be better and do better. The process allowed us to identify our strengths and discuss ways in which we could improve as employers. It helped us make advancements related to well-being and increase firm-wide engagement. We identified new goals including implementing a formal mentorship program and are committed to using this plan to track our progress as we continue to grow and evolve the firm.
