About us

Veolia UK provides solutions for ecological transformation. We are a company of almost 14,000 employees, although we prefer to think of ourselves as “resourcers”. Every day across the country our “resourcers” design and deploy useful and concrete solutions, which help our customers fight against climate change, prevent pollution of our water and create a circular economy where nothing goes to waste. Every year, we serve around 1.8 million people through our municipal wastewater contracts. We complete over 400 million waste collections across our Local Authority contracts, serving over 3 million residential properties; and we treat over 1.5 million tonnes of commercial and industrial waste from our 85,000 private customers. We also produce over 560 MWe of renewable and low carbon electricity, to power over 1.3 million homes. Veolia UK is an exciting and innovative place to work, but don't just take our word for it - we were named as one of the top 10 'Very Big Organisations' to work for in The Sunday Times' Best Places to Work 2024. We're resourcing the world through our purpose of ecological transformation, and we're doing this by working together to constantly progress. We are reinventing the way things work to reduce our environmental impact and increase efficiency, whether in the reuse of wastewater or the recovery of waste, such as plastics. At the same time, we anticipate the needs of tomorrow with innovative solutions that will decarbonise our energy and heating demands. We do this through the development of microgrids and energy management through our Hubgrade solution, which optimises the management of resources using digital and artificial intelligence. We are driven by optimism and passion, not to see the world as it is, but how it should be; and we are tenacious in our efforts to achieve our goals. These aren't just empty words.

    Take a look behind the scenes at our Garston Solvent Recycling Facility in Merseyside ⬇ The facility takes waste paint, solvents and thinners, and turns them into sustainable new products that can be used in industry. It plays a key role in regenerating resources by enabling complex materials to be recycled ♻ We have recently expanded the capacity at the facility to enable us to treat 86,000 tonnes of material a year, to meet the growing demand for more sustainable products and fuels.

    We are committed to diversifying our workforce and giving marginalised groups in society a chance to make a difference. This is why we launched our ex-offender recruitment programme in 2022, which has enabled us to recruit a number of ex-offenders in operational roles across the business. With over 10 million people in the UK holding a criminal conviction, there is a huge opportunity to give the right individuals a second chance, and enable them to pursue a fulfilling career whilst contributing to our purpose. It has also been proven that employment can be a significant factor in reducing re-offending. This is part of our wider work with prisons across the UK, as we work to engage with all areas of the communities we serve. Our ex-offender programme is one of the ways we are building a more diverse workforce, through a focus on inclusive recruitment. #InclusiveRecruitment #Inclusion

    We are proud to be working with Holiday Inn in Telford to boost recycling and preserve natural resources. Within our 12-month partnership, over 59,000kg of material, including cardboard, glass and other mixed recyclates have been collected. By recycling and redirecting the collected materials from general waste streams, this site alone has saved a staggering 5,895kg of CO2. To further support the smooth running of operations and take the hassle out of recycling, we’ve also introduced a new portable compactor – the compactor reduces costs and collection frequency by doubling the amount of material that can be housed in one area. We’re thrilled to be extending this partnership for a further 3 years, and we can’t wait to continue working with Holiday Inn to drive ecological transformation. #Recycling #EcologicalTransformation

    We’ve been working in partnership with P&O Ferries for the past 20 years, in which time the recycling and waste industry has changed immensely. Just think how your own recycling and waste habits have changed over the last two decades and you can imagine how waste management has evolved for businesses in that time! We’ve helped P&O achieve a 50% recycling rate and introduced hard-to-recycle material streams like coffee cups and textiles, helping them evolve their approach to regenerating resources. For a major provider of international travel services with over 10 million passengers a year, reducing the impact of their waste has been crucial to helping them achieve their sustainability goals, so we hopped on board to find out more 👇 https://lnkd.in/es7sqHEU #RegeneratingResources #SustainableTravel #EcologicalTransformation

    Our Industrial Site Services team in Scotland have recently welcomed four new faces, in the form of new 32,000 litre tankers as well as smaller rigid units, to meet our customers' high volume tankering requirements. The tankers meet ADR specifications and can remove solids, sludges, liquids and more from both hazardous and non-hazardous environments, reducing manual handling requirements for staff on-site and handling material safely and efficiently. Alongside the existing fleet of jet vacuum and liquid ring tankers, the new equipment will enhance our capability to take on jobs of any size and scope - improving customers' on-site safety as we take care of their tankering requirements. Comment below to find out more! #Safety #HighVolumeTankering #IndustrialSiteServices

    We’re proud to be working with our partners across the public and private sectors to support NHS Property Services Ltd on their NHS Greenspaces Programme. Working alongside Tesco, we’re delivering innovative solutions to take carbon-rich materials such as soft plastics like bread bags, out of the waste stream, transforming them into sustainable lumber. This will be used to build accessible furniture and planters, decking and fencing in social prescribing gardens across the country, curated by our charity partner Groundwork. Our enduring partnership with the NHS has already delivered groundbreaking energy and decarbonisation projects so we’re delighted to see this regeneration of resources support the sustainability of healthcare, with the gardens providing spaces for communities to improve their health and wellbeing. Collaboration across private and public bodies such as this is a testament to how we can and must all work together to deliver ecological transformation and bolster the circular economy. #RegeneratingResources #SocialValue #GreenSpaces #EcologicalTransformation
