Climate change represents the greatest challenge, with the company acknowledging that, without radical action, the planet could be 5.5 ° C degrees warmer by 2100, bringing catastrophic consequences.
The organisation responds through concrete action, reducing its own greenhouse gas emissions, developing circular economy solutions and helping customers achieve significant carbon savings.
It also addresses the critical issue of resource depletion, recognising that society’ s unsustainable consumption patterns are placing unprecedented pressure on natural resources. Through innovative methods to repurpose waste materials, Veolia has created numerous solutions that power its own facilities, generate sustainable products, and support customers across water, waste and energy sectors.
Pollution is, of course, a related challenge, with transportation, heat and electricity production, and agriculture contributing to the contamination of air, water and soils. Veolia develops and implements innovative technologies that transform behaviours, production methods and waste management practices, working to decontaminate water and handle toxic and radioactive waste while maintaining the highest safety and environmental standards.
