What if we could protect our waters from pollution? What if we could turn waste into new valuable resources? What if we could not only capture carbon dioxide but reuse it too?
For us, every “what if” creates another opportunity to find solutions to these global, societal issues through our own technology, expertise, and innovation processes.
We believe that our environmental and innovative mindset provides a driving force and motivation for serving vital resources.
At Veolia, we have been working for more than 170 years to anticipate and address the world’s critical environmental challenges – long before they become global-scale problems. Today, ecological transformation is no longer a matter of choice, but a strategic necessity that is a prerequisite for economic growth, health, and social well-being. Every day, we work and innovate to provide communities with the essential resources necessary for life – clean water, energy, and critical mineral raw materials.
Our goal is to turn complex environmental challenges into operational, measurable solutions. Our innovation focuses on three main areas: ensuring critical resources (with a special emphasis on the water industry), developing the circular economy, and reducing and managing environmental pollution.
Veolia’s forward-looking solutions:
Ensuring critical resources (primarily water)
Circular economy, based on seeking resources found locally within waste, thereby reducing dependence on distant supply chains
Managing pollution to protect human health and ensure industrial operating permits
Innovation power on a global scale:
Veolia’s innovation strategy is supported by significant resources:
1 billion euros in R&D investment as part of the GreenUp program,
4,600 patents – European leadership in water technologies,
26 research and innovation centres worldwide,
AI and digitization, which can determine up to 50% of operational efficiency.
By 2030, our company anticipates, among other things, 1 billion euros in PFAS and new pollutant treatment revenue, as well as a 1 billion euro portfolio of AI and data industry solutions.
The cities and industries of the future are being shaped today
The growing water and energy needs of digital industries create new challenges. At Veolia, we think in terms of pre-developed, integrated solutions to ensure sustainable operations and a community-focused mindset.
As cities and industries evolve, Veolia’s mission also evolves, but its core remains unchanged – to ensure vital resources for future generations!
