Research & Innovation

Our constant goal is to pursue innovations that closely match the needs of our clients and operational personnel. Leveraging our experience as a global operator is also a central focus of the division's strategy. As a company that offers a complete range of services involving a wide array of technologies, we also rely on an assertive innovation process to strengthen our position as a global standard-setter for environmental services.

Our approach is original because we combine several aspects of innovation within the company.

Improving productivity and the technical and environmental performance of our services is a daily challenge for technicians, engineers and site managers.
The insights of operational staff have been responsible for a large number of innovations.

Veolia Environmental Services' innovation process requires keeping a close watch on technology, capitalizing on and disseminating technical, scientific, sustainable development and marketing know-how and knowledge and sharing what we learn from experience. The use of collaborative portals creates a network of global experts and helps us meet this objective.

Veolia Environmental Services shares the talents of a research team at Veolia Environnement Research & Innovation (VERI) and an international network of partners, academics and industrial operators.
Working closely with researchers, the division's engineers strive to focus research and development on priority challenges, to conduct dynamic, pragmatic research projects and to apply their findings, particularly by "commercializing" innovative solutions in order to deploy them reliably and as quickly as possible in operational settings.
