WSP provides an environment of respect, support, and equity where everyone is proud and lives their purpose.
Empowered by this inclusive company culture, employees came together to celebrate PRIDE by marching with Building Equality, a UK-wide alliance of built environment organizations driving LGBTQ+ inclusion.
