The Veolia Environmental Services Resources project

Bernard Harambillet, Assistant Regional Manager for the Veolia Environnement Services Center-West Region (VPCO)

Can you describe the Resources project and how it is deployed within your region?

A Carbon balance® and an energy diagnostic were produced and used to create an inventory and an associated action plan for three pilot sites. This included the setting up of performance indicators and the mobilization of all teams (training of 500 people). All commercial agents in the region (100 people) attend training courses produced in cooperation with the sustainable development team. It is planned to deploy this project throughout Veolia Environmental Services Center-West as a function of the results obtained on pilot sites, and in the Group's other businesses in the France West Region.

What is the motivation behind Veolia Environmental Services Center-West Region setting up the Resources project?

Above all, the objective is to use sustainable development as a management and innovation lever to achieve two main objectives, namely to limit our own impacts (particularly our CO2 emissions), and to improve our commercial proposals in response to the new expectations of our clients.
