WSP Global Inc

WSP Global has taken steps to govern its climate lobbying through formal association reviews but provides limited transparency on oversight or direct lobbying procedures. In 2022 the company "signed the Corporate Knights Action Declaration on Climate Policy Engagement...committing to support climate action aligned with the Paris Agreement and to work with our major industry and trade associations to advance alignment," and in Egypt "we pledged to work with major industry and trade associations to ensure greater compliance with the Paris Agreement" and to implement "due diligence required to make further progress in this regard." In 2023 "we developed a screening process to evaluate the level of climate policy involvement, influence and alignment of our key associations," covering approximately 80% of its business, and "identified 167 associations that were fully or partially aligned, three that were not aligned, and 71 for which we were unable to determine alignment," with commitments to "exit the association" or "remain members where our own activity...is not misaligned" when necessary. WSP also notes that "none of our lobbying activities, advocacy or political contributions in the USA in 2023 were found to be misaligned with climate action," reflecting monitoring of direct engagement in that market. However, we found no evidence of a designated individual or committee specifically overseeing climate lobbying alignment, nor a process for reviewing direct lobbying beyond the US, which limits the clarity and comprehensiveness of its governance framework.
