WSP actively participates in international efforts to transition to a low-carbon economy and drive sustainable growth as a core part of our business. As we face a collective turning point in our climate, it is imperative we continue to take action to limit global warming to 1.5°C. We are strengthening our resilience to climate change impacts and supporting our clients and partners to make the transition while growing our business. We are providing strategic advice and cutting-edge expertise to support our clients in reducing their emissions, as well as tackling emissions in our value chain.

Our climate transition plan provides an overview of our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets, our net zero commitment and key strategies we will implement to achieve these targets as we collectively transition to a low-carbon future.

Once we have decreased emissions as much as possible, in order to achieve our 2040 net zero carbon goal, we anticipate selecting high quality carbon removal credits to cover up to 10% of our total emissions footprint. We will monitor the maturity of carbon removal frameworks, technologies, products and pricing to inform decisions in the coming years.
