Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies is committed to Sustainable Development. Our commitment is made to our customers (both municipal and industrial), to consumers and to our employees.

As part of the Veolia Environnement Group, sustainable development is at the heart of our activities. Environmental solutions are our business, which means we can never be content to treat sustainable development merely as a question of image, reputation or behavior. Environmental and social responsibility, together with integration within the local community, are part of our daily work. Our responsible approach is illustrated in all our technical and business activities, and it is central to our "value creation strategy" for the decades to come.

Implementation of an Environmental Management System (EMS) in order to better assess and reduce the impact of our activities on the environment.

A sign of Veolia Environnement's commitment and desire to be pro-active, the "Environmental Management System" (EMS) is indicative of the Group's willingness to reduce its impact on the environment and to continuously improve its performance.

Implemented worldwide since 2002, it will have been deployed in 60% of the Group's major businesses by 2005.

The implementation of EMS is the best response that Veolia Environnement can provide for both its customers and for the environment. It acts as a springboard for all the Group's employees to work towards enhanced environmental performance while placing the business at the heart of the system.

N.A. Water Systems is committed to the sustainable development of water management.

Belonging to all humanity, an unequally distributed resource, polluted by human activity, often wasted, an essential resource, to which a large section of humanity does not have proper access, water is a key element in sustainable development. This is to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

As a world leader in water services, is committed to the sustainable development of water management. This commitment also reflects the desire of our customers that we operate our services for them in a reliable, responsible and concerted manner.

This is why N.A. Water Systems is committed to safeguarding the health of the communities it serves, and to increasing its efforts to protect their environment by implementing technical, cost-effective, organizational solutions as well as introducing tariffs specifically tailored to each situation.

This commitment is an essential element in our long-term partnerships with our municipal and industrial clients, based on a clear division of responsibilities and a mutual relationship of trust.
