About Us

Engineering projects that help societies grow for lifetimes to come

We are one of the world's leading professional services firms, uniting our engineering, advisory and science-based expertise to make a positive impact. With approximately 83,000 professionals known as Visioneers operating in over 50 countries, we envision future possibilities and bring them to life through technical know-how and innovation. Our journey began in 1969 in England as Williams Sale Partnership, and through strategic growth and transformational acquisitions—including Parsons Brinckerhoff in 2014, Golder Associates in 2021, and most recently TRC Companies in 2026—we have evolved into a top international professional services company. Headquartered in Montreal, Canada, and publicly listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, we combine future-focused thinking with technical expertise to power local impact while leveraging our global scale.

Who we are

Visioneers shaping the future

We are technical experts and strategic advisors—engineers, technicians, scientists, architects, planners, surveyors, environmental specialists, and construction management professionals. Our teams develop deep understanding and partnerships of trust with our clients, inspiring, guiding, collaborating and delivering across over 100 sectors and services. We are dedicated to our local communities and propelled by international brainpower, combining our advisory expertise with technical and engineering experience to help communities, governments and businesses tackle growing challenges while unlocking cost reduction and value creation opportunities.

What we do

Transforming the built and natural environment

We plan, advise, design, manage and engineer long-lasting solutions that benefit generations to come. Our work spans property and buildings, transportation and infrastructure, earth and environment, water, energy, and federal programs. We provide services to transform the built environment and restore the natural environment, with expertise ranging from environmental remediation to urban planning, from engineering iconic buildings to designing sustainable transport networks, and from developing the energy sources of the future to enabling new ways of extracting essential resources. With a Future Ready® mindset, we deliver solutions that shape the communities of tomorrow and help societies find ways to thrive sustainably today.

Our Purpose

Shaping communities to advance humanity

Our common purpose unites us: to shape communities to advance humanity. We exist to future-proof our cities and environment, creating positive, long-lasting impacts on the communities we serve through a culture of innovation, integrity and inclusion. Thousands of our professionals are driven by a passion for impact, working on projects that directly benefit communities, sustainability, and infrastructure worldwide. We believe that for societies to thrive, we must all hold ourselves accountable for tomorrow.

Our Values

Our Guiding Principles

We are humble and act with moral and intellectual integrity. We keep our word and treat everyone with respect. We support our colleagues and work collaboratively to deliver excellence. Our culture emphasizes technical excellence while maintaining a strong focus on mentorship and professional growth. We promote a culture of trust, accountability and effective risk management, achieving our ambitious targets and reporting on our actions and performance with rigour and transparency.

Why working with us

Global scale, local expertise, future-focused innovation

Few firms can match our global reach and technical expertise. With 83,000 professionals in over 50 countries and 500 offices, we offer unparalleled scale combined with deep local knowledge. Our Future Ready® program uniquely positions us to be a partner and advisor of choice, helping clients navigate transformational market trends related to climate change, society, technology and resources. We integrate technical depth with strategic advisory services, creating opportunities to work on projects that combine engineering expertise with consulting strategy. Our commitment to sustainability is demonstrated through our science-based emissions reduction targets and our position in the top 5% of global companies for ESG performance, earning us EcoVadis Gold recognition.

Sustainability

Accountable for Tomorrow

Sustainability is at the core of our strategy. We have committed to achieving net zero emissions across our value chain by 2040, with science-based targets approved by the Science-Based Targets initiative. We have reduced our Scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions by over 58% compared to our 2018 baseline. Our biggest impact comes from the projects and services we deliver—approximately 51.5% of our global revenues come from services that have a positive environmental impact and support the UN Sustainable Development Goals. We have been recognized as one of Corporate Knights' 2025 Global 100 most sustainable corporations, included in the Dow Jones Best-in-Class North America Index, and ranked in the top 5% of companies by EcoVadis for environment, labour and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. We are also recognized as a climate change consulting leader, helping clients develop strategies to mitigate emissions, enhance sustainability, and identify climate-related risks and opportunities.

Community & Impact

Giving back through Thrive

We give back to the communities where we live and work with time and resources through our philanthropic program, Thrive, which is linked to our contribution to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. Our efforts take the form of investments, partnerships and pro-bono expertise, all guided by the passion of our people. Our employees are committed to giving back, and we generally employ a regional approach to supporting communities so that our contributions are meaningful and locally relevant. We partner with organizations like Water For People, uniting over 6,500 WSP water professionals in a global effort to ensure clean water and sanitation for all.

Inclusion & Diversity

Inclusion and Belonging: Where everyone can thrive

Our commitment to Inclusion and Belonging is a central pillar of our culture and values. We stand at the forefront of efforts to foster inclusive working environments in which everyone can thrive. We promote a culture in which inclusion is expected and valued—our goal is to create trusting, collaborative and psychologically safe work environments where every single person feels they belong and everyone is empowered to speak up and be their authentic selves. We measure our employees' sense of belonging regularly through our engagement survey and report on our progress annually. We are proud of our dynamic employee groups around the world, including Women of WSP, LGBTQ+, and Indigenous groups, all supported by a global network. These groups play a key role in promoting STEM fields to inspire the next generation and contribute to a more diverse industry. We believe that by supporting and promoting an inclusive and diverse workplace, our employees can tap into their full potential, unleashing innovation, ingenuity, and adaptability.
