As a world leader in environmental solutions, Veolia Environnement seeks to set the standard in sustainable development. The scale of this challenge means transforming the company into a yardstick for exemplary performance.
Hence the decision to introduce a series of indicators to gauge results with regard to environmental issues, human resources, extra-financial ratings and sustainable purchasing. This rigorous system of feedback allows the company to continuously improve its performance through quantified targets and action plans.
Managing societal performance
Managing environmental performance
Since 2002, Veolia Environnement's Environmental Management System (EMS) has been used to openly and accurately gauge progress on public health and environmental issues based on one hundred indicators.
Managing social performance
The company also has a range of indicators used worldwide to accurately reflect operational practices and realities in the field of human resources.
Managing sustainable purchasing
Veolia first introduced performance indicators for sustainable purchasing in 2009. These indicators cover the need to train buyers in sustainable development and ensure suppliers take into account similar issues. They provide a credible, reliable cornerstone of the company's sustainable purchasing policy.
Extra-financial rating
Veolia Environnement is evaluated on criteria such as governance, human resources management and environmental performance through which it qualifies for inclusion in specialized stock-market indexes (SRI*).
