WSP Environment & Energy Wins the Prestigious Acquisitions Monthly (AQM) 'Environmental Adviser of the Year 2010' Award ASrIA Member Press Release Date: January 2010

We are proud to announce that WSP Environment & Energy has won the prestigious and highly competitive Acquisitions Monthly (AQM) 'Environmental Adviser of the Year 2010' award. It reflects our success through tough economic conditions and the value delivered through the breadth of our advice.

Our submission for the award detailed achievements including:

Transaction support

Our work to support a number of the most notable corporate transactions of the year, including the transaction that won the Private Equity Deal of the Year 2010 at the AQM awards, the divesture of In-Bev's Central and Eastern European brewing business, worth a reported Euro 1.5 billion.

Green investment

Our advice on investment opportunities around green energy and green technologies, such as the advice given to the Asia Pacific Partnership reviewing 20 clean technology projects around the region and our involvement in developing a 'SuperGreen' power station in the UK.

Business risks

Our efforts to help clients prepare for crucial business risks and forthcoming legislation, such as the UK Carbon Reduction Commitment, where in one case alone we identified energy savings that secured a return of investment in excess of 40% year-on-year, and the Mandatory Disclosure of Commercial Office Building Energy Efficiency regulations in Australia.

Sustainability imperatives

Our continued success in helping clients to take action on their sustainability imperatives, including projects such as assisting the US EPA Climate Leaders programme; working with the Airports Council International to develop a carbon accreditation scheme for European
airports; and working with the City of Johannesburg on a climate change adaptation plan.

Please do not hesitate to contact me for further information on the award
