The 2024 disclosure of WSP Global includes a breakdown across 6 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, matching the level of disclosure in 2023, demonstrating consistent Scope 3 emissions reporting coverage year over year.a
In 2024, WSP Global reported total Scope 3 emissions of 449,695 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 100% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 0% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Since 2019, WSP Global's Scope 3 emissions have decreased by 13.11%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.ab
Compared to the previous year (2023), WSP Global's Scope 3 emissions remained relatively stable, indicating that WSP Global's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its value chain footprint.a
In 2024, WSP Global reported emissions for 6 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
This partial disclosure allows for some insight into the company's indirect impacts.
In 2024, the largest contributors to WSP Global's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2024, WSP Global reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 31,111 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 11,239 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 2.77 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2024, WSP Global reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 2.77 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 8.57, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2024, WSP Global ranked 9 out of 25 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
WSP Global is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2024, WSP Global reported a total carbon footprint of 505,591 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 7.78% decrease compared to 2023, indicating progress in reducing its overall greenhouse gas output.a
The largest contributor to WSP Global's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 88.94% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 1 emissions at 6.15%.a
