Our History

"Founded at the dawn of the industrial era and the start of urban development, Veolia Environnement (the parent company to Veolia Environmental Services North America) has continually adapted to the changes in our societies over the past 155 years. Now we would like to stay a step ahead, by finding answers to the questions of the future: namely, which technologies, which organizational and partnership models, which human and technical resources will be needed to meet, 10 years from now, the challenges of a planet occupied by eight billion human beings, half of them living in urban environments? Going beyond the performance of our daily contract services to raise these questions means acting as a global resource for our fields. Answering them will help us remain a leader.”
