Verso reveals everything you ever wanted to know about ecological transformation!

Verso is the first YouTube channel to popularize environmental science, it aims to tell the story of ecological transformation solutions and bring them to the attention of as many people as possible. Aboard a 100% electric truck, three influencers who are experts in popularizing science, criss-cross the roads of France and Europe to meet experts, customers and partners of Veolia who are acting on the field every day to make tomorrow's world more sustainable and desirable. 

With over a million views accumulated in just a few weeks of testing, Verso bears witness to the keen interest of the general public, and the younger generation in particular, in environmental issues. The aim is to make viewers more aware of environmental issues, so that they in turn can inform themselves and contribute to the ecological transformation.

According to Laurent Obadia, Executive Vice President Stakeholders and Communications, Advisor to the Chairman, "With the launch of Verso, Veolia is taking up the challenge of raising public awareness on environmental issues and, above all, showing that solutions do exist. Thanks to Verso and its three ambassadors, the public is taken on a captivating and necessary journey to understand ecological transformation and how everyone, at their own level, can contribute to efforts to reduce the impact of climate change."
