Founded at the dawn of the industrial era and the start of urban development, Veolia Environnement has continually adapted to political, social and cultural changes over the past 160 years. Now our goal is to stay a step ahead, by finding answers to the questions of the future: namely, which technologies, organizational and partnership models, human and technical resources will be needed 10 years from now to meet the challenges of a planet occupied by 8 billion people, half of them living in urban environments?
Going beyond our daily contract services to raise — and asnwer —these vital questions means acting as a global reference and a leader in all our activities.
