Corporate Social Responsibility

At Integra Systems we are committed to responsible business practices that prioritise sustainable and ethical design and manufacturing. Corporate Social Responsibility is integral to our business operations, embodied in our focus on the circular economy, supply chain transparency, community engagement, and workforce diversity and development.

As leaders in sheet metal design, prototyping, and manufacturing, we recognise our role in shaping a more responsible industry, both within Australia and on a global scale, while delivering the highest quality solutions for our clients. 

We integrate circular economy principles into our design and manufacturing processes to minimise waste and maximise resource efficiency. Our approach includes: 

Sustainability & Circular Economy 

Design for Circularity

We embed the principles of the circular economy within our design and manufacturing processes. Our products are created to be modular, reusable, and built for longevity, enabling the goods to be repurposed, repaired, and redeployed indefinitely.  

Industry 4.0 Manufacturing 

Through design for circularity, precision laser cutting, automated bending, and digitised workflows, we maximise material used and minimise wastage. Our Integra K4.0 Kiosk system serves as the linchpin for low carbon manufacturing, tracking material usage and machine efficiency, significantly minimising environmental impact while enhancing operational efficiency. 

Commitment to United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals 

We are committed to creating a more sustainable world for future generations. The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals have been a key resource guiding our sustainable business practices. In particular goal 9, focusing on sustainable industrialisation and innovation; goal 12, promoting sustainable productionand consumption patterns; and goal 13, taking action to combat climate change and its impact.
