Guarantee that everyone's fundamental rights are respected

For a company like Veolia, with a mission to deliver services that are essential to human development, respect for people is crucial.

Veolia is committed to guaranteeing that diversity and fundamental human and social rights are respected within the company.


We are fully committed to social cohesion, particularly at a time when our organization is undergoing major changes. Which is why we always play close attention to the quality of employer-employee dialogue, working with the employee representative bodies, and to respect for diversity, the principle of equal opportunities and the fight against discrimination at every level of the company and in all business lines.
We consider gender balance and equality as key components underpinning performance, credibility and parity. 

Diversity and social rights: what are our responsibilities?
