Moving forward with our stakeholders
Veolia Environnement's growth is based on a decentralised operating model with a strong local involvement. We have the responsibility to set up relations of trust and dialogue with each of our stakeholders at all levels, and to include their expectations and contributions in the implementation of our sustainable development strategy.
Shareholders
Veolia Environnement meets the expectations of its shareholders and investors through its irreproachable corporate governance, demonstration of the relevance of development priorities and appropriate risk management.
Suppliers
Integrating sustainable development tools into purchasing procedures contributes to limiting risks with regard to suppliers, safety and working conditions of subcontractors, protection of the environment and ethics, all of which vary from one country to another.
Clients
The Group puts great emphasis on raising customer awareness on the impact of their consumption.
Increasing public awareness can have a direct bearing on the environment through encouraging customers to adapt their behavior in favor of sustainable development and responsible consumption.
Civil society
All Veolia Environnement divisions have initiated a communication with civil society at the local level, so that the Group's activities and services can be adapted to match the expectations of local residents and to reduce perceived nuisance due to its activities.
Local projects
Since it was created in May 2004, the Veolia Environnement Foundation has supported more than 600 sustainable development projects with an annual budget of €5 million.
