Veolia is committed to guaranteeing a safe and secure work environment
Accident prevention and health and safety are permanent priorities across all our business lines. Everywhere we operate, we have an unshakeable commitment to protecting the physical and mental wellbeing of our employees.
On July 1, 2013, Veolia signed the International Labor Office’s Seoul Declaration, recognizing the fundamental human right to a safe and healthy workplace. As well as respecting this vital principle, improving occupational health and safety also positively impacts the social, economic and societal dimensions of our activities.
Part of Veolia’s response to this commitment is to include enhanced accident prevention, analysis and social dialogue on health and safety in all its in-house labor agreements relating to health, safety and working conditions.
Health and safety: what are our responsibilities?
