In April 2019, Veolia was one of the first companies to adopt its purpose.
Find out why Veolia defined its purpose and the words that express it. Even more importantly, think about what it means for you.
Ready? Let’s go!
Since it was formed, Veolia has acted to have a positive impact on society.
By giving itself a purpose, it goes further:
"First of all, expressing our Group’s purpose means saying why it is useful, for whom it is useful and why it is important that it should exist. Let’s not be under any illusions! Our business is successful because it is useful, and not the other way round. It usefulness is the reason why it is attractive to its customers and partners, its usefulness feeds its employees’ commitment: they are only motivated for a business whose values and vision they share, and which gives meaning to their work.
So who is our Group useful for? For all those who contribute to it directly and who, in return, have an interest in it: its employees, its shareholders, its customers, its suppliers. But it is also useful to the regions where it is established, to its associative partners, to future generations, etc."
To define this usefulness, to whom it is addressed, how to implement it, Veolia’s purpose is expressed in a whole text. Find out about it in this video
The main players in this purpose are of course all Veolia’s employees.
They have been asked to choose the word that inspired them the most in this text, the word that made them proud, that made sense of their actions: their purpose at Veolia.
What if you took part in this exercise?

They have been asked to choose the word that inspired them the most in this text, the word that made them proud, that made sense of their actions: their purpose at Veolia.
What if you took part in this exercise?
Veolia’s purpose is to contribute to [[human progress]] by firmly committing to the [[Sustainable Development Goals]] set by the [[UN]] to achieve a [[better and more
sustainable future]] for all. It is with this aim in mind that Veolia sets itself the task of “[[Resourcing the world]]” through its [[environmental services]] business.
At Veolia, we are convinced that continuing [[human development]] is only possible if [[economic, social and environmental issues]] are addressed as [[an indivisible
whole]]. This belief is embedded in the [[history]] of the company, which as soon as it was created in 1853, showed the way by making [[access]] to [[drinking water]] an
essential element of [[public health]] and [[quality of life]].
In the conduct of our current businesses in [[water]], [[waste]] and [[energy]], we provide our [[public and private]] [[customers]] [[worldwide]] with [[solutions]] that [[facilitate]] access
to [[essential services]] and [[natural resources]], and that efficiently [[conserve]], [[use]] and [[recycle]] those natural resources. [[Improvement]] of our [[environmental footprint]] and that of our [[customers]] is central to our [[business]] and its [[economic model]].
We are a company that is both [[local and global]] with a high level of [[technical know-how]] and [[labor]], and which [[commits]] for [[long periods of time]]. We guarantee
[[long-term results]] for our customers by leveraging our [[long experience]], the quality of our [[services]] and our high capacity for [[innovation]].
We are a [[working community]] where, in addition to an [[income]] and respect for their [[health]] and [[safety]], everyone can find a [[sense]] of purpose in what they do,
commitment to [[rewarding collective action]] and [[personal fulfillment]]. Through [[training]], Veolia ensures that its [[employees]], the vast majority of whom are [[manual workers]] and [[technicians]], [[develop their skills]]. The company relies on their [[responsibility]] and [[autonomy]] [[at all levels]] and [[in all countries]], and promotes [[professional equality]] between [[men and women]]. Veolia also promotes, particularly on staff representative bodies, [[social dialogue]], which encourages employees to adopt our [[collective project]] as their own.
Wherever it operates, Veolia complies with applicable [[laws and regulations]]. It also applies widely-distributed [[ethical]] [[rules]] consistent with its [[values]] of
[[responsibility]], [[community spirit]], [[respect]], [[innovation]] and [[customer focus]].
Veolia’s [[prosperity]] is founded upon its [[usefulness]] to all its [[stakeholders]] in the various regions where it operates – whether [[customers]], [[shareholders]], [[employees]],
[[suppliers]], [[current populations]] or [[future generations]]. Its [[performance]] must therefore be assessed in [[various dimensions]] corresponding to those [[different communities]] concerned. The company pays the same degree of attention and requires the [[same high standards]] in each of these dimensions. In this way, Veolia [[prepares]] for the [[future]], [[protecting]] the [[environment]] and responding to [[humanity]]’s [[vital needs]].
All of us, as Veolia stakeholders in one way or another, have a key role to play in the implementation of this purpose.
Veolia’s purpose is a continuous progress initiative, which is implemented for and with all the company’s stakeholders.
It is embodied in a text.
It takes tangible form in the multifaceted performance, a powerful strategic and operational management tool that makes it possible to find the best balance between economic and financial, environmental, human resources, social and commercial performance.
Based on these 5 dimensions, Veolia has committed to 18 priority objectives, which are associated with quantified indicators and action plans to achieve them.

It acts as our compass, giving us a long-term direction.
We used it to define our Impact 2023 strategy and
it assists us with our day-to-day choices.
It explains how and why Veolia takes action to be useful.
It is represented by tangible commitments,
that we implement with and for all of our stakeholders.
We measure these commitments with multi-dimensional key performance indicators (KPIs).
It gives meaning to the actions of the 171,000 Resourcers
who work to create a positive impact every day
by being optimistic, never giving up and progressing together.
