Diversity

We are committed to building a diverse team that represents a broad range of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. We actively seek to hire and promote individuals from underrepresented groups.

Equity

We strive to create an environment where all employees have equal access to opportunities, resources, and support to thrive and contribute to our mission. We regularly assess our policies and procedures to eliminate bias and ensure fairness.

Inclusion

At Veolia, we celebrate differences and foster a culture of inclusion where every employee feels valued, heard, and empowered to be their best self. We promote open dialogue and active listening to create a sense of belonging for all.

OUR ACTIONS

Our inclusive hiring practices prioritise diversity and promote equity at every stage of the recruitment process. We provide ongoing training and development opportunities to ensure our employees have the skills and knowledge to excel in their roles.

Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)
