🏔 #WorldWaterDay reminds us that glaciers melt faster than ever. As the effects of climate disruption accelerate, with particularly visible impacts in polar regions, there has never been a more urgent need for coordinated action by all sections of society. The ties between fundamental research and industry can be incredibly powerful. Businesses have access to some incredible means of action for combating #ClimateChange, and they are able to act quickly, backed by operational expertise and the ability to deliver real-world #innovations. 📖 In her book “Sentinelle du climat” (Climate Sentinel), French glaciologist and winner of the Veolia Foundation’s 2024 Environmental Book Award, Dr. Heïdi Sevestre, alerts the general public and decision-makers to the urgent need for action to halt climate disruption. “We need everybody in all their diversity, with all their experience and qualities, to help us invent a better #future.” We must act to #SaveOurGlaciers!

Veolia’s strategic program #GreenUp 24-27 is designed to address global ecological challenges while reconciling #economic growth and #environmental protection. 📊 ➡️ In financial terms, the Group aims for solid growth in its activities, driven by our “Boosters” business segments –hazardous #waste, new #water treatment technologies, and local decarbonized #energy–, which benefit from strong demand, with growth of over 5% per year expected over the program period. ➡️ This organic growth, benefiting from the combination of our different areas of expertise, is complemented by the operational excellence of our teams, which enables the Group to aim for an EBITDA of €8 billion in 2027, thanks to shared cost savings with our clients. ➡️ To give you just one figure, while our competitors have an economy retention rate of less than 20%, Veolia was at 44% at the end of June and is usually between 30% and 50%. ➡️ Veolia will allocate over €4-billion to the third driver of our financial performance: targeted growth investments, enabling Veolia to target average growth in its Current Net Income of around 10% over the program period.

Every day, #women and #girls around the world spend hours collecting water and wood, and suffer the consequences of a lack of access to essential services. Access to clean #water and sanitation, reliable #energy and efficient #waste management are not just environmental issues: they are fundamental to gender equality and the #empowerment of women. Every action taken is a girl brought closer to school and a woman freed from a daily burden. The Veolia Foundation works particularly: 🔹 in #Senegal, where an innovative system for treating surface water from the Gambia River has been set up, allowing the inhabitants of some forty villages to access standpipes close to their homes, saving women long journeys. 🔹 in #Madagascar, where more than 6,000 inhabitants in 200 villages now have access to electricity thanks to the support of the Veolia Foundation and the entrepreneurs of the Nanoé association, who are deploying nano-grids to connect the population to essential services. 🔹 in the Democratic Republic of #Congo, where water infrastructures are severely affected by climate disruption. The Veolia Foundation is supporting a program to improve access to drinking water by rehabilitating equipment: essential work to ensure the long-term production, storage and distribution of drinking water. #BecauseWeCare #IWD2025 #AccelerateAction Fondation Veolia - 📷 Isabelle SERRO

Generate affordable, low-carbon and local energy turning #waste cold into #energy? That’s what Veolia does at the liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in the port of #Barcelona, where we recover residual cold to generate energy, thanks to an innovative solution. By partnering with Enagás and Barcelona City Council, we're channeling this recovered energy into an urban cooling network, essential to the activities of several industrial and commercial sites as well as public facilities. ⚡ It will generate 131 GWh every year, equivalent to the annual consumption of a city with over 100,000 inhabitants. With over 150 LNG terminal sites worldwide, this model can be easily replicated globally, especially in densely populated and industrialized regions!
