[SAVE THE DATE] Join us for an exclusive conference on #desalination presented by Estelle Brachlianoff, CEO of Veolia, Anne LE GUENNEC, Senior Executive VP, Water Technologies zone and Adrien de Saint Germain, CEO desalination expertise, from #Oman. You will have the opportunity to discover Veolia's global ambitions and perspectives in desalination and how the solutions currently in operation in Oman can be adapted in other regions facing similar challenges. 🗓 Tuesday, April 8 at 10 a.m. GST 🔗 Register for the live presentation “Sustainable Desalination - Oman”: https://lnkd.in/eYU9k7xu Faced with the consequences of climate change and the shortage of water resources, desalination is a solution that has already proven its effectiveness. While the market is set to grow over the next 5 years, driven primarily by the Middle East, Pacific Asia and some countries in Europe, Veolia has made Water Technologies one of the growth “boosters” of its #GreenUp strategic program. As a global leader in #Water #Technologies, Veolia is also a leader in desalination in terms of installed capacities. A position that has been strengthened in 2024 with the successive announcements of key strategic contract wins in Morocco, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. #EcologicalTransformation

🤝 More than 500 executive managers of Veolia gathered this week at our headquarters in Aubervilliers for the Inspiration Days! This event was a demonstration of our collective energy, determination and passion: a unique mindset that drives all the teams to always look to the future. Our strength lies in this collective power and our team spirit, because we’re better #together. Our mission is clear for this year: what Veolia is really seeking is #environmental #security. We are committed to protect human health from pollutants, to enhance the quality of life, to preserve resources and to ensure industrial sustainability. By combining our #water, #waste, and #energy expertise and merging our knowledge across geographies, we have all the #solutions to act now! #EcologicalTransformation

♻ #Wastewater management represents both a crucial challenge and an opportunity for cities: as a local partner, Veolia can respond effectively to people's needs by combining our #innovation and expertise with the strategic vision of local authorities. In Boulogne-sur-mer in northern #France, the wastewater treatment plant named 'Séliane' is a state-of-the-art facility capable of treating the wastewater of the equivalent of 200,000 inhabitants. This plant is a perfect example of Veolia's commitment to the circular economy. Its sludge incinerator recycles wastewater by converting it into green #energy (biogas): this biological process is called anaerobic digestion of sewage sludge. The biogas is used to supply the local district heating grid, providing 500 homes. Long viewed as simply a nuisance, sewage sludge is actually a resource and energy source.⚡ This virtuous approach demonstrates Veolia's ability to combine technical performance with environmental responsibility! 🔗 Learn more about wastewater management: https://lnkd.in/ez8tkpU3

With the challenges of climate change, #cities are facing major climate challenges that have a direct impact on #water #management: scarcity of the resource, increased risk of flooding during heavy rainfall, coastal erosion phenomena,threat of rising sea levels… 💧 To meet these challenges, Veolia is working alongside cities around the world in the search for tomorrow's #solutions to guarantee a sustainable, accessible and resilient water resource. 🇫🇷 Zoom in on Boulogne-sur-Mer, a city in northern France that Veolia has been working with for over 140 years on sustainable water management! In Boulogne-sur-Mer, this collaboration is making it possible to better anticipate the effects of climate change through concrete actions such as: 🔷 Diversification of resources, 🔷 Ongoing network modernization, 🔷 Key infrastructures such as the Seliane wastewater treatment plant as well as a 13,000 m³ storage basin designed to prevent flooding and reduce wastewater discharges into the natural environment, 🔷 Exploring innovations such as REUT and the reduction of industrial consumption. A region at the forefront of #EcologicalTransformation! 🤝 Veolia is positioned as a local partner, engaged in constant dialogue with local elected representatives and local players to provide solutions that combine the preservation of public health, control of purchasing power and territorial resilience.

📣 Veolia launches a Tour de France for #water! The aim of this unprecedented initiative is to meet citizens, local elected representatives and industries, and to jointly develop sustainable solutions for preserving water in the face of climate change. Initiated by Estelle Brachlianoff, CEO of Veolia, this innovative project is a way of raising public awareness and fostering #dialogue on the issue of water, which has become a vital challenge and a major concern for citizens. 🇫🇷 This 'Tour de France' for water begins symbolically in Boulogne-sur-Mer, a town in northern France with which Veolia has the longest-standing collaboration in #France in the water sector, and which it supports in the search for future solutions to guarantee a sustainable, accessible and resilient water resource. The issues at stake are multiple and address a number of key challenges: 🔹Protecting public health, in particular against micropollutants and PFAS 🔹Coping with water shortages and combating water stress 🔹Managing floods 🔹Maintaining water quality at an affordable price 🔹Helping farmers and industrial companies to adapt The water crisis is real, as confirmed by a French survey conducted by the Terram Institute, which sheds light on citizens' perception of the water situation in France. However, the French have confidence in the water industry (60%), and the majority are in favor of innovative solutions to turn these challenges into opportunities. Let's all play a part in water management! 💧 #EcologicalTransformation Institut Terram Antoine Bristielle

💧 By 2030, fresh water demand is expected to outpace supply by 40%. A challenge according to a report on #water #scarcity by the World Resources Institute. 3 key figures to understand the impact of the scarcity of water resources: ▪ Water scarcity puts $70 trillion of global economy at risk ▪ $50 billion estimated desalination market by 2032 ▪ $17.6 trillion assets managed by signatories to the valuing water finance initiative In the face of water risk and financial challenges impacting industries, Veolia is part of the solution to bridge the gap between water supply and demand. In the latest Bloomberg Intelligence webinar, Anne LE GUENNEC -Senior Executive VP, Water Technologies- shared Veolia's concrete and sustainable water #solutions such as wastewater #reuse and seawater #desalination. As a global leader in water technologies, Veolia aims to become the water services provider of the future as part of our #GreenUp strategy. 🔗 "Water scarcity: shaping sectors and investments" webinar, watch the full replay here: https://lnkd.in/eqCNDYXt #EcologicalTransformation

🏔 #WorldWaterDay reminds us that glaciers melt faster than ever. As the effects of climate disruption accelerate, with particularly visible impacts in polar regions, there has never been a more urgent need for coordinated action by all sections of society. The ties between fundamental research and industry can be incredibly powerful. Businesses have access to some incredible means of action for combating #ClimateChange, and they are able to act quickly, backed by operational expertise and the ability to deliver real-world #innovations. 📖 In her book “Sentinelle du climat” (Climate Sentinel), French glaciologist and winner of the Veolia Foundation’s 2024 Environmental Book Award, Dr. Heïdi Sevestre, alerts the general public and decision-makers to the urgent need for action to halt climate disruption. “We need everybody in all their diversity, with all their experience and qualities, to help us invent a better #future.” We must act to #SaveOurGlaciers!
