1 FUTURE-READY OPERATIONS & SERVICES WSP in Canada s Sustainability Action Plan
2 We are honoured to introduce WSP s Sustainability Action Plan for Canada entitled Future-Ready Operations & Services. We ve travelled a long way since 2011, the year we rolled out our very first Action Plan. That plan was successfully completed at the end of 2013 and brought our offices and corporate practices to new levels of social responsibility towards our stakeholders, our clients, the communities in which we thrive, and our future generations. As you know, major changes took place during the implementation of the first Action Plan, notably with the growth of our company, which has now led us to become a world-class professional services firm. With our firm s expansion comes new challenges and responsibilities, and this is what we want to address in this second Sustainability Action Plan. Ultimately, our aspiration for our Canadian operations is to be the leading professional services consultancy to the built and natural environment. To move us towards that vision, and to live up to our Global Sustainability Policy, the Action Plan sets out a series of objectives centered around two main focal points: OPERATIONS Make our offices and corporate practices even more sustainable and further empower our staff to create change. SERVICES Leverage our expertise to deliver cutting-edge sustainable services, measure the impact of our recommendations, and engage more effectively with like-minded clients and stakeholders. In addition to these two focal points, we are also adding accountability, as we will ensure that the disclosure of our extrafinancial performance meets international best practices. To our staff, we thank you for your continued commitment. All that was achieved in recent years was of your making, and we encourage you to get involved in furthering our sustainability vision with this second Action Plan as your inspiration. To our clients and stakeholders: this is the cause that drives us forward, and we hope to continue this journey together with you. MARC RIVARD President and Chief Operating Officer Canada/ Caribbean/ France ANDRÉ-MARTIN BOUCHARD National V.P. Environment, WSP Canada Inc. Chair National Sustainable Development Committee 2
3 A SECOND ACTION PLAN In 2010, our Canadian offices approved a Sustainable Development Policy that would be implemented through an Action Plan covering the 2011, 2012 and 2013 calendar years. That plan was successfully completed on the 31st of December 2013, marking a key step in our growth as a business. Building on the first Action Plan s success, and further implementing WSP s Global Sustainability Policy, WSP in Canada is now committing itself to a second Action Plan covering 2014 through to THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE SECOND ACTION PLAN IS ONE OF GETTING PREPARED FOR THE CHALLENGES THAT LIE AHEAD WITH REGARDS TO SUSTAINING A STRONG ECONOMY WHILE ENSURING THE LONG-TERM VIABILITY OF THE BUILT, HUMAN AND NATURAL ENVIRONMENTS. BEING FUTURE-READY IS BEING BOTH RESPONSIBLE AND RESILIENT. André-Martin Bouchard Chair of the National Sustainable Development Committee Canada 3
4 SECOND ACTION PLAN OBJECTIVES The Action Plan has five main objectives, organised as follows: OPERATIONS OBJECTIVE 1 Implement a system of sustainability standards for offices (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum) OBJECTIVE 2 Increase the level of our staff s personal engagement/commitment with regards to sustainability OBJECTIVE 3 Maintain and increase corporate departments commitments SERVICES OBJECTIVE 4 Measure and communicate the impact of Canadian sustainable commercial projects ACCOUNTABILITY OBJECTIVE 5 Apply Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Sustainability Guidelines Each objective is then broken down into smaller sub-objectives, with information on targets and how progress against them will be measured. 4
5 OPERATIONS The first Action Plan set minimum standards across all offices. Among other things, offices now have recycling programs, default double-sided printing settings, utilize ethically-sourced paper and have committed to reducing the use of individual vehicles through a wide variety of measures. In Canada, WSP s corporate departments have also achieved strong sustainability progress with regards to sustainability training and awareness, employee engagement as well as Health, Safety & Environment measures. In the years , we will maintain the corporate programs, plans and practices established in the previous Action Plan. On top of that, offices will now have access to an internal Office Certification Program with Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum standards. These standards will require offices to implement measures and policies specified in our Standards Guidelines, and will necessitate an audit by management in order to be attributed a certification. The passion with which our staff generate ideas and sustainable solutions will also be leveraged in various ways to establish a strong network of expertise in sustainability across the business. Corporate departments will maintain and deepen their already ambitious targets and objectives 1, while further developing measures that will enable a better control of the company s environmental and social impact. OBJECTIVE 1. Implement a system of sustainability standards for offices (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum) Sub-objectives How progress will be measured Target Sub-Objective 1a Apply WSP s Office Sustainability Standards to Canadian offices by conducting an initial round of certification for all offices Number of offices of more than 10 permanent staff having successfully received initial certification (Bronze) All offices with confirmed Bronze (or higher) certification level by the end of 2015 Sub-Objective 1b Encourage offices to move up in certification levels (i.e. from Bronze to Silver, Silver to Gold) and hold office managers accountable for the achievement of these standards 1 As set out in the first Sustainable Development Action Plan Increase in certification level against the previous year s baseline (i.e. number of new Silver, Gold or Platinum certifications) By 2015: 5 Silver certified offices By 2016: 6 Silver certified offices and 2 Gold certified offices 5

Consistently over 95% of offices with a Coordinator in charge of sustainability, for all offices with >10 permanent employees All current coordinators are in the process of receiving their Certificate of Recognition. New coordinators will receive certification within 6 months of accepting the role. 2014: Launch pilot phase 2015: Complete the translation (EN-FR) of the selected tool(s) and roll-out according to demand through 2016: Regular corporate announcements (at least twice a year) on progress and success stories. 70% of initial users participate for at least a year in usage of platform * Certificates of Recognition are distributed to local coordinators upon demonstration of successful engagement with in sustainability practises. 2 PACT is a software-based environmental footprint management system for staff. It has been used in various contexts and regions within WSP and is considered for implementation across Canadian offices. 6

The software will include scoping tools for HS&E. Some sustainability objectives make use of P360 to measure progress and generate useful information. 7
8 SERVICES OBJECTIVE 4. Measure and communicate the impact of Canadian Sustainable Commercial Projects Being a professional services company provides a significant opportunity to do well by doing good. Historically, our services have helped clients restore the natural environment, transform the built environment, de-carbonise, waste nothing and enrich peoples lives. It is with a renewed confidence in our commitment to sustainability that we now aim to deliver even more sustainable services, while making sure we measure the impact of our recommendations properly. It is our hope that we can engage in a meaningful conversation and partnerships with like-minded clients and stakeholders to continue to learn while also showcasing our successes. Sub-objectives How progress will be measured Target Sub-Objective 4a Measure the sustainability impact of WSP s projects by creating and using sustainability measures Presence or absence of tools and measures.

10 IMPLEMENTATION MECHANISM OF THE ACTION PLAN The implementation of the second Action Plan is overseen by the National Sustainable Development Committee (NSDC). The NSDC is primarily composed of representatives from each of Canada s regions.
