Environmental security:
A vital issue in
a world under tension
With the help of Columbia University (New York) and HEC (Paris), Veolia is proposing a new paradigm adapted to the current context. It concerns environmental security, starting from the observation that the world has shifted; we have gone from environmental challenges to an accumulation of critical risks that threaten the prosperity of companies, the stability of nations and the health of populations.
Arthur Keller: the urgency of a systemic approach
Interviewed by Veolia, Arthur Keller, a specialist in systemic risks and resilience strategies, warns that our societies are facing cascading risks that are weakening the very foundations of our systems. To protect the stability of societies, the expert calls for concerted action by stakeholders at the regional level.
In conversation with:
From environmental challenges
to security crisis : a paradigm shift
Estelle Brachlianoff, Chief Executive Officer, and Antoine Frérot, Chairman of the Board of Directors, look back on a record year in 2025, driven by the GreenUp plan, and on the usefulness of Veolia, the driving force behind the Group and its 216,000 employees, inseparable from its impact and growth.
Veolia has never been stronger or more international, or as ready to meet the critical needs of regions and populations.
