GreenUp

Under the name "GreenUp", the new strategic program 24-27 aims to make Veolia the missing link in ecological transformation. Veolia is paving the way to a more sustainable and desirable future by accelerating the implementation of already existing solutions and innovating to create the solutions of tomorrow.

Building on its expertise in water, energy and waste, Veolia intends to decarbonize, purify and regenerate resources through three growth accelerators, supported by investments of 2 billion euros.
Veolia's three growth accelerators:

1)    Bioenergy, flexibility and energy efficiency

Production of local low-carbon energy for all its municipal and industrial consumers worldwide. Veolia is committed to this. 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 bioenergy production from non-recyclable waste to energy efficiency solutions, proper heating and cooling, and CO2 removal, the Group produces local, affordable low-carbon energy.

  • Objective

With sales of 12 billion euros in this sector by 2023, Veolia is accelerating the development of these innovative solutions to enable customers to optimize and balance their energy mix, while accelerating the production and consumption of renewable energy sources.

2)    Water technologies and new solutions

A central pillar of Veolia's activities, water-related activities have been at the core of the Group for 170 years, positioning Veolia as a leader in this sector. The Group intends to maintain its operational excellence while offering its customers technological innovations, ranging from water distribution to water science.

  • Veolia's solutions 

Veolia aims to become a provider of all water-related services in the future, focusing on the efficiency of its solutions and using state-of-the-art technologies including reuse of treated wastewater, treatment of water and pollutants such as PFAS or microplastics, and drinking water production.

  • Objective

With a unique portfolio of clean solutions and technologies, and revenues of 18 billion euros in this sector, Veolia aims for a +50% revenue increase related to these new solutions and technologies by 2030, for both industry and cities.

3)    Waste treatment

As a global leader in hazardous waste treatment and present on all continents, Veolia is accelerating its activities with its clients by implementing unique offerings.

  • Veolia's solutions

The Group intends to accelerate circular economy solutions and innovations in lithium battery recycling, as well as implement mass plastic recycling, in which Veolia is currently a leader with over 30 plants worldwide.

  • Objective

With revenues of over 14 billion euros in 2023, Veolia will continue to develop its activities and use all its expertise in hazardous waste treatment for its clients.
