## Veolia in the 2018 EcoAct report top 10.

This year only 2 French companies rank in the EcoAct top 10 (PSA ranked 6th and Veolia ranked 9th).

> In relation to Veolia, the report states: "*As a world leader in environmental services management, the Group relies on an environmental management system supervised by its Sustainable Development Committee. Its holistic, Group-wide climate strategy is divided into nine commitments, underscoring the importance of a multi-dimensional approach to environmental sustainability. Veolia has emerged as an industry leader with aggressive CO2 reduction plans, a procurement policy and a rigorous supplier monitoring system. The deployment of an action plan integrating biodiversity issues into 100% of its sites by 2020 is one of its main objectives. Veolia uses the [LivingCircular](https://www.livingcircular.veolia.com/fr) platform to contribute to the debate and accelerate the transition to the circular economy.*"
