Plans contained in the company鈥檚 2016 include: reducing business travel and commuting carbon emissions by 17% per employee by 2020; reducing energy use per square metre by 16% by 2020; and sending zero waste to landfill by 2020.
In 2016, WSP saw its total carbon emissions drop by 9%, office energy use and paper use fall by 10% and a recycling rate of 93% achieved.
WSP UK chief operating officer Mike Rogerson said: 鈥淲e are practising what we preach. Clients and colleagues alike say that they want to be ready for the future. That they want to be part of creating a prosperous, sustainable, resilient economy. There鈥檚 no better way to demonstrate how this is possible than by going carbon neutral ourselves by 2025.鈥�
