Impact Report 2025
How a Certified B Corporation builds clean energy: our footprint, our crew, our community, and the projects that prove sustainability and profitability are not mutually exclusive.
It's with deep pride and a sense of shared responsibility that I welcome you to MYNT Systems' inaugural B Corp Impact Report. This moment represents more than a milestone; it's a reflection of our enduring commitment to redefining what it means to do business in the built environment.
When we first set out to create MYNT, the mission was simple but bold: transform how commercial properties consume energy by integrating clean technology, smart capital, and elegant design. Becoming a Certified B Corporation affirmed that we're not just building clean energy systems, we're building a more equitable, sustainable future for the communities we serve, the people we work with, and the planet we depend on.
B Corp certification holds a mirror up to the soul of a company. It challenges you to go beyond good intentions and prove, through data and process, that your impact is real. For us, that accountability has only sharpened our focus. Across the five B Corp pillars of Governance, Workers, Community, Environment, and Customers, we've used this framework to operationalize our values and elevate our impact.
These last two years have been a time of challenge and clarity. Economic volatility, climate-driven emergencies, and shifting social dynamics have tested our resilience. But they've also validated our belief that sustainability is not a sidecar to business, it is the business. Clean energy solutions are now critical infrastructure. Fair labor practices are foundational to a thriving team. And transparency is not just compliance, it's culture.
This report captures how we've translated those principles into action. It includes our progress on emissions reduction through solar plus battery installations and electric vehicle charging hubs, our investments in team wellbeing and professional development, and how we're deepening partnerships within the communities we operate. It also shows how we're expanding our model through ventures like joint ventures with sustainability-minded property owners and asset ownership to scale long-term impact and financial resilience in tandem.
Our vision is ambitious: a world where every building is a positive contributor to its environment and economy. It's a future that demands not just innovation but intention. And I'm proud that at MYNT Systems, both are built into our DNA.
Thank you for being a part of this journey. The work is far from done, but together, we're proving what's possible when business puts purpose to work.
Building the new energy future
MYNT was founded in 2014 as an investment-backed startup focused on industrial energy efficiency and onsite generation. Today the company spans development, design, engineering, financial modeling, and project management, working from a net-zero-energy transformed bank building in downtown Santa Cruz.
Environment
We believe in local, clean, community-controlled energy: commercial buildings transformed into energy-positive assets. That conviction starts with our own footprint, measured and targeted for reduction in every category.
Electrify the fleet
Transportation is our largest controllable emission source. Electrifying the fleet is the clearest next opportunity to lead by doing, not by claiming.
Supply chain and project selection
Purchasing is consolidating with US-based manufacturers, with targets set through 2027:
- Source 75% of major equipment domestically
- Reduce procurement costs by 15%
- Increase average project energy impact by 25%
The crew
A workforce spanning engineering, project management, finance, and construction, with low turnover and continuous investment in development. The numbers below are the policy, not the pitch.
Time off that scales with tenure
- 40 to 160 flexible vacation hours by tenure
- 10 paid holidays, including MLK Day and Juneteenth
- 50 annual sick hours
Safety as operational excellence
Construction safety leadership through comprehensive training, premium equipment, and rigorous protocols. It is treated as a performance discipline, not a compliance checkbox.
Community
MYNT is made of multi-generational Santa Cruz locals and people who moved here for the work. The team shows up in local environmental initiatives, workforce development partnerships, and the organizations that hold this industry to a standard.
Housing Matters
An ongoing partnership with Santa Cruz County's largest homeless services organization, which shelters nearly 230 people and has helped over 550 people find permanent housing in recent years.
