Open to around 190,000 employees in 56 countries, Sequoia 2025 was subscribed to by more than 85,000 employees, representing a subscription rate of almost 45%, the highest ever in the history of Veolia.
In line with the previous editions carried out since 2018, Sequoia 2025 reiterates Veolia's commitment to involve its employees in the development of their company and its value creation.
Overall, the amount of Sequoia 2025 totals €329.3 million, corresponding to 13,065,890 shares, including 11,289,176 new shares issued through capital increase.
In order to neutralize the dilutive effect of the Sequoia 2025 offer, Veolia simultaneously proceeded with a capital reduction by canceling 11,289,176 treasury shares, acquired under the share buyback program. Following these operations, the share capital amount remains unchanged. It amounts to €3,708,617,185 divided into 741,723,437 shares with a par value of €5 each.
As of today, Group's employees will strengthen their position as Veolia's largest shareholder, holding above 9,5% of the company's shares capital. This success testifies, once again, the commitment of the Group's employees to the new objectives set out in the GreenUp 24-27 strategic plan.
At Veolia, employees are the company's largest shareholders, and I am particularly proud of that. The success of the Sequoia 2025 employee shareholding initiative reflects the trust and commitment of our employees to Veolia's ambitions, as set out in our new strategic plan, GreenUp. Their participation in this collective effort strengthens our ability to meet current and future challenges with a very strong ambition: to combine our different expertise and technologies - water, waste, energy - to ensure the environmental security of populations and industries,”
