YR&G

What YR&G does

YR&G's firmographic record describes a small private sustainability consultancy headquartered in Denver, founded in 2006 with 11–50 employees and a website at yrgxyz.com, focused on technical and strategic sustainability solutions. However, the substantive content retrieved explicitly flags a data mismatch: "The requested company YR&G was not found in the source data; extracted information pertains to WSP based on provided sources." All operational evidence below therefore pertains to WSP, a Canadian-domiciled (WSP Global Inc.), publicly traded (TSX: WSP) engineering and professional services firm founded in 1959 through the merger of two Quebec engineering firms and previously known as Genivar.

Based on the substantive evidence, WSP delivers engineering, advisory, and science-based professional services across more than 100 sectors and service lines, organized into eight horizontal segments: Property and Buildings, Transportation, Water, Energy and Resources, Climate/Resilience/Sustainability, Federal Programs, Earth and Environment, and Advisory and Planning. Service offerings span the full project lifecycle — planning, design, technical consulting, construction management, and operational services — including specialized capabilities such as MEP engineering, structural engineering, hydrogeology, climate resilient infrastructure, PFAS management, and FEMA inspection services (the latter acquired through Louis Berger's US operations in 2023). Two registered proprietary brands are identified: Groundwater Plume Analytics® (a groundwater plume assessment method) and Meerkat™ (a tech-enabled physical security solution for the energy and resources sector).

The business model is professional services revenue, with pricing custom-quoted per project based on scope and complexity rather than standardized SKUs. WSP operates an enterprise field-sales go-to-market, delivering services directly to enterprise and government clients through a relationship-based model anchored in local offices and coordinated globally for major projects. The firm runs approximately 200,000 active projects on all continents with a workforce of roughly 83,000 employees, giving it one of the largest global footprints in the engineering services industry.
