To the women and men we employ

Veolia is determined to fully take on board its corporate responsibility as an employer of choice for all its employees everywhere. We demonstrate the reality of our commitments by prioritizing our employees' health and safety, by giving attention to our employees’ personal development.

To the women and men we employee:

7. Guarantee a healthy and safe working environment

8. Encourage the professional development and commitment of each employee

9. Guarantee respect for diversity and human and fundamental social rights within the company

Guarantee a healthy and safe working environment

Ensuring a healthy and secure working environment for all employees is a priority for Veolia. To protect all employees from occupational risks by empowering them in terms of their safety and that of their colleagues, and to ensure the health and quality of life of employees in the workplace: those are the objectives that drive the occupational, health and safety teams on a daily basis wherever Veolia is present. 

Encourage the professional development and commitment of each employee

Our employees’ engagement is a major asset. We prioritize skills and career development, recognition of our employees and their performance, and respect for diversity.  

We have implemented an ambitious training and HR development policy. The policy has three objectives: develop and adapt skills in all business lines, support Veolia’s performance and business development, and contribute to the development of our corporate culture.

Guarantee respect and diversity for human and fundamental social rights

Veolia has been a member of the United Nations Global Compact since 2003, which commits the Group to promoting 10 fundamental principles of human rights, labour rights, and protection of the environment. Since 2014, Veolia has had its place at the “advanced” level of the United Nations Global Compact differentiation program which uses 21 specific criteria to set the highest standard of voluntary performance reporting on responsible development.

We are fully committed to social cohesion and always play close attention to the quality of employer-employee dialogue, working with the employee representative bodies, and to respect for diversity, the principle of equal opportunities and the fight against discrimination at every  level of the company and in all business lines.

We consider gender balance and equality as key components underpinning performance, credibility and parity.
