Today, more than one billion people still do not have access to drinking water and 2.6 billion live without sanitation. For many years, SUEZ ENVIRONNEMENT has addressed the challenge of sustainable access to water and sanitation services and supported policy makers in achieving this goal.
Access to water: a fundamental right
In September 2000 the UN member countries adopted the Millennium Development Goals. One of the goals is to halve the percentage of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation by 2015 (compared with 1990).
For SUEZ ENVIRONNEMENT, universal access to drinking water and sanitation services is essential to life. The Group has been helping the countries in which it operates meet this challenge for many years.
Contributing to the development of water and sanitation services
SUEZ ENVIRONNEMENT specifically encourages the use of public-private partnerships supported by the World Bank and international financial institutions. These institutions guarantee effective services for users: access to drinking water of guaranteed quality, and its distribution in the home.
The Group also facilitates dialogue around water and sanitation issues. It holds regular consultation meetings to improve corporate strategy so that it can meet the expectations of society.
