Our Mission
In a world where resource scarcity and climate change are becoming increasingly serious challenges, our company offers innovative solutions to help industrial enterprises and local governments achieve more sustainable and responsible development.
We express this commitment through our new positioning: "Resourcing the World."
Our Contribution in a Changing World
Natural resources are becoming increasingly scarce, while demands continue to grow due to rising population density and accelerating urbanization, in a world facing the threats of climate change. The world must reconsider its relationship with resources and develop new social and economic models that are more efficient, balanced, and sustainable.
We develop solutions that support the shift from a resource consumption mindset to the concept of a circular economy, promoting a "use and regenerate" approach. In the face of climate change challenges, we offer practical solutions aimed at reducing emissions and helping cities and industries become more sustainable and resilient.
An Impressive Mission
"Resourcing the World" is not only our mission but also our motto, translated into the languages of the countries where our company operates. This is not merely an environmental issue, but also a technological, economic, and social challenge.
Our experienced teams in the fields of water, energy, and waste management continuously innovate to bring this mission to life—ensuring the availability, preservation, and regeneration of resources.
"Our strategic goals and growing sectors"
Over the past few years, the world has shifted from a direct consumption model to one that emphasizes the need for savings and recycling. As a global leader in optimal resource management, our company positions itself as a value creator by offering expert and innovative solutions for both our long-standing and rapidly growing markets.
Transformation Program 2012–2015
Our strategy aligns with the transformation program defined at the end of 2011, which enabled us to refocus on the most profitable activities and markets, establish a unified Veolia presence in each country, reduce our debt, and implement a cost reduction and efficiency improvement plan.
Three strategic goals have been set to guide our Group toward selective, profitable, and long-term growth:
- Become a leading player in major environmental markets where demand is strong and solvent, and where our expertise sets us apart from the competition.
- Rebalance our activities between municipal and industrial clients so that, by 2020, the industrial sector accounts for 50% of our revenue.
- Refocus our operations on the most dynamic regions and markets, with the goal of generating half of our revenue from these areas within five years.
Our development efforts are focused on six growing industrial sectors with strong growth prospects, where our expertise and completed projects offer promising opportunities:
- Circular economy
- Treatment of the most complex types of pollution
- Execution of dismantling processes
- Food and beverage industry
- Mining industry
- Oil and gas industry
