Veolia obtains the highest "A" rating from CDP on both "Climate change" and "Water security" themes in 2025: a double distinction that places the Group among the global leaders in environmental performance.
Veolia stands out by obtaining a double A from CDP (A for climate and A for water security), thus joining the select circle of globally distinguished companies with this double recognition. This mark of excellence confirms the Group's leadership in environmental performance and demonstrates its ongoing commitment to addressing climate challenges and water resource preservation.
What is CDP?
CDP is a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) that provides companies, cities, states and regions with a platform for reporting their environmental data and actions. This data is then used by a wide range of stakeholders - in finance, procurement, and policy decisions, to transform transparency into action. In 2025, more than 22,100 companies, representing more than half of global market capitalization, reported their environmental data through CDP.
Recognition of our leadership in climate and water management
These distinctions reflect the Group's transparency and performance in combating climate disruption, adapting to its effects and preserving water resources - issues that are part of Veolia's purpose, and whose solutions are outlined in the GreenUp 24-27 strategic program, and through the Group's multi-faceted performance objectives.
Pierre-Yves Pouliquen, Veolia's Chief Sustainability Officer:
This double distinction on climate and water, which are so closely linked in today's and tomorrow's challenges, demonstrates our commitment to responding in an integrated manner to the major environmental challenges of our time. CDP's double A recognizes our ability to transform our ambitions into concrete actions on these two inseparable fronts of the ecological transition.
These recognitions of Veolia's leadership reinforce the Group's ongoing commitment to these ESG issues.
