Decarbonization

• Erase 600kt of CO2 from the atmosphere by 2027 through our comprehensive efforts to help clients run more sustainable and efficient operations by producing local renewable energy, and delivering energy efficiency solutions and resource regeneration solutions helping to offset and avoid emissions.

Regeneration

• Save 120M m3 of water by 2027 (equivalent to San Francisco's annual water consumption) thanks to its worldwide expertise in water services and its know-how in the reuse of treated wastewater.

• In a context of reshoring and industry growth, population growth in water scarce areas, water quality awareness (PFAS, new pollutants, etc.) key environmental services needed: water recycling, water distribution network leakage reduction, water supply to cities and industries, water quality etc. Access to water is therefore essential to sustain growth, with the market estimated at $34 billion a year by 2027.

• As the first US leader in water operations & maintenance and the third leader in regulated water with 200 water & wastewater facilities operated, Veolia serves more than 1 in 13 people in America (27M people) and it is the only private company able to provide all contract services.

Water quality and public health

• Remain at the forefront of the fight against PFAS in drinking water and across the value chain dedicating its technical expertise and research and development resources to help tackle this emerging pollution.

• PFAS mitigation is one of the top public health priorities in the United States, with increasing regulations and an estimated $200 billion decontamination market. Our customers - local authorities and industry - need help to ensure the safety of drinking water, the removal of pollutants from wastewater, and the remediation of sites such as airports, airbases and chemical PFAS production sites. These challenges call for treatment know-how tailored to local needs, including membrane filtration and hazardous waste treatment.

• Veolia already has extensive experience in the fight against PFAS throughout the world, and in the United States in particular, with 30 PFAS treatment projects in drinking water already underway and 50 more in the pipeline.
