Strategy

Making our customers leaders in environmental performance

The SUEZ ENVIRONNEMENT vision is based on a simple value proposition: enabling its customers to achieve their environmental performance goals. By maximising the potential of its two businesses, water and waste management—which are crucial to the environment—the Group addresses environmental issues facing local authorities and manufacturers while promoting green growth.

The Group uses an innovative strategic model to achieve this goal and ensure that it grows in a sustainable and profitable manner. This model is part of the wider strategy of the  GDF SUEZ Group.  It is based on six fundamental principles:

• Control the value chain for water and waste by using technology that makes it possible to offer comprehensive solutions
  
• Capitalise on synergies between the water and waste management businesses to offer customers more complementary, competitive solutions
• Forge lasting partnerships with local operators, to contribute to the development of regions or countries where the Group operates
• Make innovation a driver of industrial excellence
  
• Commit to sustainable development by meeting specific targets on such issues as diversity and workplace safety
  
• Motivate and mobilise employees by supporting them throughout their careers (training, etc.) and making sure they have the right level of expertise
