United Kingdom and Ireland, a record year of contracts

The United Kingdom and Ireland account for a significant part of Veolia’s sales and over three-quarters of its revenue is from waste and recycling. In 2015, revenue amounted to €2.4 billion, making the UK and Ireland the second most important region for Veolia after France.
Added to which, annual business growth there comes in at between 2% and 3%. In the coming 5 years, Veolia plans to invest more than €890 million in the business.
