There are already more than seven billion people on the planet. In the

near future, there will be nine billion. The world is growing; it needs

new resources. This means we need to be more inventive, more

responsible and more efficient. Today, we recover water, waste and

energy. What is discarded by some becomes a resource for others.

Being attentive and more respect ful of our planet and its people is

how we view our business, our foot print and our contribution. We are

creating new businesses, and a new economic and social dynamic.

We are contributing to the world movement and people’s lives.

Develop access to resources, pres erve resources, replenish resources:

RESOURCING THE WORLD IS OUR GOAL.

Cities Industrial companies

! eir challenges. In an increasingly populated and urbanized world, cities have to manage quality water, energy and waste services intelligently, innovatively and as inexpensively as possible. Their ability to implement new models of the circular economy will determine their dynamic and their attraction.

Our solutions. A historic partner of cities for more than 160 years, Veolia is reinventing how it approaches traditional markets with an increased focus on linking our compensation to transparent performance metrics. As the operators of complex services in the fi eld, we are developing technological, fi nancial and social solutions to improve inhabitants’ quality of life, save and replenish resources, and reduce the ecological footprint of regions.

Our solutions. Non-hazardous and hazardous waste recovery, soil remediation, dismantling sensitive facilities, water recycling, energy management, to name just a few: Veolia is the partner of industrial companies’ growth. We off er a wide range of tailored solutions covering all companies’ needs in all areas of business.

A working example. In France, we work with Greater Lyon. We have carried out extensive research and developed innovation to test new projects in the areas of green energy, intelligent data management and urban modeling, health, waste treatment and resource preservation.

A working example. Since 2001, Veolia has been working with Novartis to improve the operational, economic and environmental excellence performance at the company’s industrial facility in Basel (Switzerland), the global showcase for this pharmaceutical giant. Veolia provides and maximizes the management of all Novartis’ utilities (water, energy and waste), and has implemented a unique solution for the recovery of hazardous waste.

! eir challenges. Industrial companies are seeking sustainable solutions to ensure the long-term survival of their businesses, maintain growth and win the support of communities. Pressure on resources is forcing them into a paradigm shift. As a partner in their growth, Veolia transforms this challenge into an opportunity through its innovative solutions.

4 challenges to embrace

THE SUSTAINABLE development of cities

Almost half the world’s population lives in cities. By the end of the century, urbanization will have intensifi ed to a level never seen before in human history. While cities enable economies of scale and more effi cient services, they also need to be cleaner and more effi cient, and consume less energy. Veolia has unique expertise in the management of large, complex public services including drinking water, wastewater, waste collection and recovery, and heating and cooling networks. As the manager of services in many megacities around the world, we are rethinking our relationship with local government authorities in order to become a consulting partner to help them improve their performance.

CLIMATE change

Limiting average warming of the planet to 2 °C by 2100 is a target that must be shared by all actors. This climate change is largely due to greenhouse gas emissions. Fortunately, there are solutions to promote a carbon-free economy. Veolia is investing massively in research to produce renewable and alternative energies, and to improve energy effi ciency. Attentive to the impact of our own facilities, we off er our customers diagnostic tools and clean, game-changing solutions.

INCREASINGLY SCARCE resources

The United Nations estimates that the equivalent of two planets will be needed to meet our needs by 2050 if we continue at the current rate. We therefore urgently need to reinvent our relationship with resources and raw materials, the cost of which tripled between 2000 and 2013. Each day, Veolia acts to preserve and replenish resources. We recover water, energy and waste. What is discarded by some becomes a resource for others. Water and waste produce cooling, heat, steam, energy, bioplastics, biofertilizer, biofuels and secondary raw materials. These new materials are then used, recovered and reused again and again. That is the principle behind the circular economy.

FRAGILITY of ecosystems and biodiversity

According to the “Millennium Ecosystem Assessment,” the rate of species’ extinction is one thousand times greater than it would be naturally. Through our CSR commitments, Veolia undertakes to preserve natural resources and diversity. In particular, this commitment is evident in the rigorous analysis toward redirecting the impact of our facilities and activities. The Veolia Foundation also supports many associations and scientifi c and citizen-initiated actions to protect biodiversity.

FOOD WASTE HAS SEVERAL LIVES

The Move2Chem project aims to develop a recovery system for the byproducts, effl uent and waste from the food and beverage industry by converting them into chemical molecules. These molecules are then used by the chemicals industry as precursors for numerous products (dyes, solvents, polymers, etc.), or reinjected directly into wastewater treatment processes. In April 2014, Veolia was named the winner of France’s 2030 Worldwide Innovation Challenge for the “Plant Proteins and Plant Chemistry” strategic goal with its partners SAS Pivert and Sofi protéol.

Challenge

A NEW TYPE OF PARTNERSHIP

Veolia and New York City have signed a new type of contract. Under this contract, Veolia’s compensation is based in part on the savings the performance diagnosis and advice it produces. The City directly manages the drinking water and wastewater services with its own personnel and relies on Veolia’s experience and expertise. The city spends $1.2 billion each year on managing and maintaining its public drinking water and wastewater services; the expected annual savings are estimated at around $130 to $200 million.

$130million annual savings

PUBLIC WATER SERVICE FOR

ALL FAMILIES

The economic capital of Ecuador, Guayaquil has a population of 2.5 million, many of whom live in a situation of fi nancial insecurity. Proactiva, Veolia’s South American subsidiary, manages all the city’s drinking water and wastewater services. To ensure that the entire population has access to these basic services that condition their health and quality of life, Proactiva has implemented an ingenious subsidized pricing, debt reduction and mediation system. For its citizen outreach activities, the company relies on a network of 1,000 volunteers and four mobile agencies.

97%of the population has access to the high quality drinking water service

THE BETTER YOU SORT,

THE LESS YOU PAY

In France, the city of Chantilly and Veolia have successfully trialed a volume-based invoicing system for solid household waste. Equipped with an electronic microchip, the non-recyclable waste bins are identifi ed by the collection truck on each round. The invoice is adjusted to refl ect the number of times the bin is emptied. As a result, the volume of waste has fallen by 20%. While the benefi ts are fi nancial for both the authority and the users, they are also good for the environment.

20%less waste volume

MIRACULOUS BACTERIA

In Belgium, Veolia has developed a landmark prototype. Stimulated by the volatile fatty acids from sludge fermentation and then put on a diet by Veolia researchers, bacteria produce chemically refi ned bioplastics. This product is then fed back into plastic manufacturers’ production lines. It is used, for example, to manufacture pens, vehicle bumpers and even farm tarpaulins.

1,500metric tons of bioplastics is the potential annual output from this site

DEEP-FRYING OIL AT THE GAS-STATION

PUMP

Food and deep-frying oil becomes waste that is diffi cult to manage. It is now being given a second life. After an initial fi ltration stage to remove waste and water, the oil is recovered as a biodiesel at our plant in Limay, the only facility of its kind in France. Its annual production capacity can be as high as 80,000 metric tons per year.

DISMANTLING INDUSTRIAL FACILITIES

Passenger liners, aircraft, trains, production plants, oil platforms, etc.: Veolia provides

complete solutions for complex situations while guaranteeing the market’s highest standards. In

the coming 10 years, 600 off shore oil and gas platforms will need to be dismantled in the

North Sea. We have developed excellence in this highly specialized fi eld. Located in Scotland, our

Greenhead base safely dismantles platforms onshore and recovers around 99% of the waste.

OIL AND GASThe oil and gas industries sit at the crossroads between major regulatory, societal, economic and operational challenges. Veolia helps ensure extraction is handled in an environmentally friendly manner. In particular, we are working with Shell at its Carmon Creek (Canada) site to extract non-conventional oil deposits without impacting on the local water resources. Our plant manufactures the steam needed for the extraction process and ensures a recycling rate of 99%.

INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR CITIESConstantly growing in size and under fi nancial stress, cities must optimize the management of their public services. As a partner of cities, we are inventing new, more effi cient models. In Rialto, California (United States), we developed a new distribution of roles between the city, the Rialto Water Services company and ourselves. As a result, the city’s fi nancial situation has improved.

MINING INDUSTRYFor economic, regulatory and environmental reasons, mining effl uent treatment is a major challenge. For Iberpotash, a potash producer, we have signifi cantly reduced water consumption at its mine in Spain’s arid Suria area and we recover residual minerals from the solid waste.

CIRCULAR ECONOMYA sustainable alternative to the current production and consumption approach, the circular economy is already a reality. Industrial companies and local government authorities are starting to produce alternative resources and local supply loops are emerging. In Plessis-Gassot in the Paris region (France), we recover 950,000 metric tons of non-recycled waste. By capturing the biogas it releases, we produce enough electricity to power the equivalent of more than 41,000 households, excluding heating.

DIFFICULT-TO-MANAGE MATERIALS

Low-level radioactive waste, chemical products and hydrocarbon derivatives, etc.: as certain

types of waste are hazardous for human health and the environment, high level expertise

and non-standard equipment are needed for their treatment. In Ellesmere Port (United

Kingdom), Veolia is helping destroy Syria’s chemical weapons: 150 metric tons of chemical agents

will be neutralized at this facility. Each year, 100,000 metric tons of hazardous products

are treated at this site.

FOOD AND BEVERAGE INDUSTRYThe world’s leading industrial sector, the food

and beverage industry encompasses a great diversity of stakeholders and situations. The rapid

growth in food needs and consumers’ growing demands are placing pressure on the industry.

Veolia works with them to reduce their environmental footprint and contain their costs.

In the Netherlands, for the Mars group, Veolia is transforming into bioenergy the

wastewater from the world’s biggest confectionary production plant and

reducing the plant’s energy bill by 10%.
