Saving resources
The activities of Veolia Environnement are increasingly being integrated into an economy of scarcity : the solutions that we are developing can help to rationalize exploitation of resources or substitute renewable resources, for more sustainable and economically viable management.
Health and lifestyle
Urban hygiene and a reduction of diffuse pollutions, contribute to keeping a healthy and balanced environment that protects everyone's wellbeing. Environmental health is an important aspect of Veolia Environnement's businesses.
Access to essential services
These are defined as vital services essential for a dignified and decent life. Although frequently mentioned in the context of the developing world, the problem of access to these services is also an issue for urban services management in the developed world.
Fundamental social rights
Every employee has fundamental social rights, regardless of their qualification level and the country in which they perform their activity.
