Veolia Environnement and Public Life

Given its operations, size and worldwide presence, Veolia Environnement is at the heart of today’s major debates.

Global warming, issues of urban growth and access to essential services are concrete problems that Veolia Environnement teams face every day. In addition to its business operations, the company thus bears a particular responsibility – that of a key player, a partner in local development with expertise to offer.
