As resources become scarcer, their preservation and protection should be a collective priority and responsibility. Resources that are less intensively consumed, more efficiently used and less damaged are resources that will likely still be available in the future.
Veolia develops innovative and sustainable solutions to conserve resources, extracting only what is strictly necessary from the right place, at the right time and using the right methods. Veolia also optimises the use of resources to maintain their quality and efficiency throughout the usage cycle, and minimises downstream impact to protect the health of humans and the environment.
