Certain information contained in this page is not based on historical or current facts and may constitute forward-looking statements or forward-looking information (collectively, “forward-looking statements”) under Canadian securities laws. These forward-looking statements may include estimates, plans, strategic ambitions, objectives, expectations, opinions, forecasts, projections, guidance, outlook, or other statements that are not statements of fact, and reflect the expectations of management of the Corporation regarding, without limitation, its long-term sustainability ambitions and targets which include, without limitation, its objectives concerning measuring and disclosing its sustainability performance (including with respect to the objectives and targets described in its 2025-2027 Global Strategic Action Plan and its Biodiversity Statement) and reducing its energy consumption and GHG emissions in accordance with established scope 1, 2 and 3 reduction targets.

These forward-looking statements are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties and are based on several assumptions, both general and specific, which give rise to the possibility that actual results or events could differ materially from the expectations expressed in, or implied by, such forward-looking statements and that the business outlook, objectives, plans and strategic priorities may not be achieved. Forward-looking statements contained in this page for periods beyond 2025 involve longer-term assumptions and estimates than forward-looking statements for 2025 and are consequently subject to greater uncertainty, including assumptions about our ability to develop and implement various corporate and business initiatives, including new procedures, policies and targets to decarbonize our operations and supply chain and reduce our energy consumption; the state of the global economy and the economies of the regions in which the Corporation operates; and sufficiency of internal and external resources, as well as those described in the “Forward-Looking Statements” section of our latest Global Sustainability Report.

In evaluating these forward-looking statements, readers should specifically consider various risk factors, which, if realized, could cause WSP’s actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements. Such risk factors include, but are not limited to, the rising complexity of the geopolitical landscape and macro-economic developments; the failure to effectively adopt, integrate, and leverage existing and emerging technologies in our operations; the failure to implement sufficient corporate and business initiatives; difficulty in accurately measuring, evaluating and disclosing our sustainability performance; failure to accurately estimate the sustainability benefits of our project work; negative stakeholder perception or reaction to our sustainability performance or initiatives, as well as other risks detailed in the “Risk Factors” section of our most recent annual management’s discussion and analysis, which is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and which section are incorporated herein by reference into this cautionary statement.
