As a global leader in water, waste, and energy management services, Veolia has been deeply rooted in China for over three decades, consistently delivering efficient and innovative environmental solutions to urban and industrial clients while contributing to China's green, low-carbon transition and sustainable development.
This achievement stems from Veolia's comprehensive integration of sustainability goals into its core corporate strategy. The group balances economic benefits, environmental responsibility, and social value through 15 key multifaceted performance metrics. Under the group's "GreenUp 2027" strategic plan, Veolia China focuses on three core areas: decarbonization, resource regeneration, and de-pollution. In 2024, Veolia China's operations helped avoid over 496,000 tons of carbon emissions, demonstrating its firm commitment to addressing climate change challenges.
While enhancing environmental performance, Veolia China emphasizes social responsibility through inclusive assistance programs. For example, in Tianjin and Changzhou, Veolia provides water fee subsidies for low-income groups and orphans. In Harbin, the company offers heating subsidies and facility upgrades for disadvantaged communities. Additionally, Veolia encourages employee community engagement through paid volunteer leave and charitable donations.
Veolia's pioneering "Critical Friends" committee mechanism strengthens stakeholder collaboration by bringing together experts from industry associations, public institutions, NGOs, media, and academia. The committee provides professional, independent insights on social and environmental responsibilities, helping Veolia navigate complex sustainability challenges.
"This acknowledges our 'Resourcing the World' philosophy. We will continue driving technological innovation and deepening cooperation with governments, businesses, and stakeholders to support China's carbon neutrality goals and work together toward a net-zero future."
