It\u2019s the expectation. But how?<br \/>\nThe real question in 2026: who\u2019s actually executing?<\/p>\n<p>The goals are clear. The friction is real. And most firms are somewhere between \u201cwe\u2019ve started\u201d and \u201cwe\u2019re stuck.\u201d Architectural and Design teams are navigating embodied and operational carbon, material health, transparency, circularity, budgets and client pressure &#8211; all at once. This session cuts through theory and gets into what\u2019s actually working on commercial projects right now.<br \/>\nStructured as a dynamic panel discussion, this event brings together leaders from architecture, design, ownership, and construction to unpack:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How teams are reducing carbon without blowing up budgets<\/li>\n<li>Where implementation still breaks down<\/li>\n<li>How to align internal teams and external partners<\/li>\n<li>What small, repeatable actions are compounding into measurable impact<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Expect practical insight, honest conversation, and tangible takeaways you can apply immediately to active projects.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re tired of sustainability sounding good in theory but feeling messy in practice \u2014 this is your event.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/registration.materialbank.com\/?team=Rebecca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Register for a FREE Material Bank account by clicking here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Panel Moderator \u2014<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Rebecca Best, EVP Sustainability; Material Bank<\/p>\n<p><strong>Panelists<\/strong> <strong>\u2014<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Phil Galway Witham, Resilience Leader &amp; Architect, Senior Associate, Gensler<\/li>\n<li>Susan Tienhaara, Quality Manager, Govan Brown &amp; Associates<\/li>\n<li>Alexander Josephson, Founder, PARTISANS<\/li>\n<li>Sara Dagovic, Design Director, Workplace Design Advisory, JLL<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.ca\/e\/1983483107368?aff=oddtdtcreator\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>Click here to RSVP.<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"design-your-impact-panel-happy-hour-sustainability-in-action","image":false,"all_day":false,"start_date":"2026-04-21 17:30:00","start_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"04","day":"21","hour":"17","minutes":"30","seconds":"00"},"end_date":"2026-04-21 19:30:00","end_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"04","day":"21","hour":"19","minutes":"30","seconds":"00"},"utc_start_date":"2026-04-21 21:30:00","utc_start_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"04","day":"21","hour":"21","minutes":"30","seconds":"00"},"utc_end_date":"2026-04-21 23:30:00","utc_end_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"04","day":"21","hour":"23","minutes":"30","seconds":"00"},"timezone":"America\/Toronto","timezone_abbr":"EDT","cost":"","cost_details":{"currency_symbol":"","currency_code":"","currency_position":"","values":[]},"website":"","show_map":false,"show_map_link":true,"hide_from_listings":false,"sticky":false,"featured":false,"categories":[],"tags":[],"venue":{"id":23991,"author":"12","status":"publish","date":"2026-04-10 18:13:38","date_utc":"0000-00-00 00:00:00","modified":"2026-04-10 18:13:38","modified_utc":"0000-00-00 00:00:00","url":"https:\/\/idcanada.org\/fr\/lieu\/gensler\/","venue":"Gensler","slug":"gensler","address":"150 King St W Suite 1400","city":"Toronto","country":"Canada","province":"ON","zip":"M5H 1J9","stateprovince":"ON","json_ld":{"@type":"Place","name":"Gensler","description":"","url":"","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","streetAddress":"150 King St W Suite 1400","addressLocality":"Toronto","addressRegion":"ON","postalCode":"M5H 1J9","addressCountry":"Canada"},"telephone":"","sameAs":""},"show_map":true,"show_map_link":true,"global_id":"idcanada.org\/fr\/?id=23991","global_id_lineage":["idcanada.org\/fr\/?id=23991"]},"organizer":[],"custom_fields":[],"json_ld":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Event","name":"Design Your Impact Panel (Happy Hour): Sustainability in Action","description":"&lt;p&gt;Material Bank is thrilled to host our Design Your Impact CEU Series: Toronto edition with Gensler.
