Our Human Resources Policy

The skills and knowledge brought by employees is the chief asset of a service company such as ours.

Veolia Environnement wants to recognize our employees' merit and dedication by providing them with ways to advance in their careers. Encouragement of professional and geographic mobility, individual development plans, a fair compensation policy and an expanding employee shareholder base combine to offer motivation for professional and personal development.

Because we are by nature diverse and open to the world at large, Veolia Environnement makes mutual support a top priority of our HR policy.

Our respect for diversity, support for our most vulnerable employees and advancement of employee-employer dialogue reflect this strong commitment. The dissemination of human resource standards promotes equal opportunities for all our employees everywhere in the world by guaranteeing decent living and working conditions and access to basic education.

The Veolia Environnement Foundation is also dedicated to integrating the underprivileged into the community, especially through support for local initiatives sponsored by Veolia Environnement's employees.

Through a new initial and on-the-job training policy that benefits both employees and customers, we anticipate and keep up with changes in our businesses and the specific needs of communities. The Campus Veolia Environnement networkoffers secure and motivating career training programs.

As soon as employees start working at Veolia Environnement, we implement a customized integration plan tailored to the employee's background, the diversity of our businesses and organizations and specific operational requirements. The process can take different forms, such as Manager Induction Days, breakfast meetings, field training and more.

The best way we can serve as a role model for excellence is in the field, by focusing more and more each day on devising new ways to improve the working conditions of our employees.

Supported by a quality work environmentthat encompasses workplace injury and occupational illness prevention and a healthy work-life balance and holds employees and their managers accountable for workplace health and safety, our employees can be more effective in helping our customers and the millions of users we serve worldwide each day.
