GreenUp
Veolia's new strategic program to accelerate the deployment of affordable, replicable solutions that depollute, decarbonize and regenerate our resources.
Called "GreenUp", the new 24-27 strategic program aims to make Veolia the missing link in ecological transformation. Veolia is paving the way for a more sustainable and desirable future by accelerating the deployment of solutions that already exist and innovating to create those of tomorrow.
Drawing on its expertise in water, energy and waste, Veolia intends to decarbonize, depollute and regenerate resources through three growth boosters, supported by investments of 2 billion euros.
Veolia's three growth boosters
Bioenergy, Flexibility and Energy Efficiency
Producing local, low-carbon energy for all its municipal and industrial customers worldwide. This is Veolia's commitment. Veolia's ambition is to produce 8 GW of bioenergy and have a flexible installed capacity of 3 GW by 2030.
Veolia's solutions
From the production of bioenergy from non-recyclable waste to energy efficiency solutions, heat and cold recovery and CO2 capture, the Group produces local, affordable, low-carbon energy.
Objective
With sales of €12 billion in this sector by 2023, Veolia is accelerating the development of these innovative solutions to enable Veolia's customers to optimize and balance their energy mix, while accelerating the production and consumption of renewable energies.
Water Technologies & New Solutions
A central pillar of Veolia's activities, the water business has guided the Group for 170 years, positioning Veolia as a leader in this sector. The Group intends to maintain its operational excellence while offering technological innovations to its customers, moving from water distribution to water science.
Veolia's solutions
