29 Juin 2022 - 2:00PM
WSP Global Inc. (TSX: WSP) is pleased to be included in Corporate
Knights’ 2022 list of Best Corporate Citizens in Canada,
recognizing its social and environmental leadership, for the second
consecutive year. Highlights of WSP’s performance include
above-average “clean revenues” earned from its environmental and
other consulting capabilities, top-quartile environmental
performance, as well as gender diversity on its Board of Directors
and executive team.
“It is an honour to stand among Corporate
Knight’s Best 50 Corporate Citizens in Canada. This affirms our
significant progress towards a brighter future in a more equitable,
inclusive and low-carbon world,” said Alexandre L’Heureux,
President and CEO of WSP. “As an industry leader, we are constantly
searching for innovative ways to make our business more
sustainable, to protect our planet, as well as to create an
environment where our people can achieve their full potential.”
The Corporate Knights ranking is primarily based
on 2020 data. In 2021, WSP continued to make significant progress
towards achieving its goal of reaching net zero emissions, as well
as tackling climate and societal challenges that plague the world
over.
A snapshot of WSP’s achievements include:
- Clean Revenues:
WSP’s 2021 clean revenues represented approximately 51.5% of its
total revenues (revenues that have a clear environmental benefit
and support the UN Sustainable Development Goals).
- Climate Goals:
WSP’s net zero by 2040 commitment is supported by science-based
greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets. The company’s scope 1
and 2 market-based emissions decreased by 39% between 2018 and
2021, and its scope 3 emissions decreased by 12% during the same
period.
- Diversity: WSP is
making progress towards gender-diversity and now have female
executives leading three major regions (Canada, Asia, and the
Nordics), covering approximately 35% of the company in terms of
employee numbers. In addition, WSP already has 37% women on its
Board of Directors. As part of WSP’s 2022-2024 Global Strategic
Action Plan launched earlier this year, the corporation has defined
ambitious diversity goals to increase the representation of all
under-represented groups.
