Cross-divisional committees for true accountability

In June, it revised the process for drafting the 2006 US Form 20-F and validated it.
In December, it reviewed regulatory changes liable to affect the communication and publication of information aimed at the markets and initiated work on gathering information and drafting the 2007 annual reports.

The Risk Management Committee

During its meetings in 2009, the Risk Management Committee reviewed the deployment of specific action plans to address operating risks.

The Ethics Committee

The Ethics Committee, set up in 2004, considers all issues connected with the Ethics, Belief and Responsibility program launched in 2003.
This program is a fullscale corporate project intended to guide the daily conduct of company employees in each of the 68 countries in which it operates. The program expresses the fundamental values of Veolia Environnement such as respect for human rights, strict compliance with national laws, fair treatment of clients and consumers, commitment to sustainable development, and solidarity. This committee has a duty of independence and confidentiality. It may take up ethics-related issues on its own but employees can also refer to it for any questions.
