Multidisciplinary thinking across sectors

AVOID Avoid negative impacts on the natural world.

Biodiversity is vital to human wellbeing and to our planet’s health. It is also essential to a wide range of industries, sustains countless jobs and provides us with healthy food. Protecting biodiversity is thus in line with WSP’s purpose, i.e. future-proofing our cities and our environment. Protecting biodiversity and soil health is a natural extension of our commitment to mitigate climate change, two interrelated issues that need to be tackled simultaneously. By preserving habitats and supporting healthy soils, we can address biodiversity loss and climate change while supporting underserved communities that are bearing the brunt of environmental degradation. Protecting biodiversity is aligned with Future Ready business strategy and our Global Environmental, Social & Governance Statement. We are change agents and, through our work, we can protect and restore ecosystems to help improve all life on Earth.

We work with clients to support biodiversity and natural capital in a wide range of sectors, including infrastructure (transportation, power and energy, water), development (real estate, construction, urban planning), public sector (all levels of government), financial institutions (private equity, international financing corporations, development banks), mining, industry, conservation authorities and not-for-profit organizations.
