I don't think the term "integration" is correct in this context, and "proportional integration method" appears mostly on Spanish websites translated into English. The correct English term is "proportionate consolidation method".

Compare:
"proportional integration method" (212 hits in Google)
"proportionate consolidation method" (66,000 hits in Google)
