In a fast growing world, our society is facing many challenges. Climate change, galloping urbanisation and changing lifestyles are all contributing to the increased scarcity and deterioration of the natural resources which are essential to life and to the future. It has now become essential to develop new growth models which consume fewer resources. This ambition is at the heart of SUEZ’s strategy. Every day, we help our customers to use and recover resources instead of consuming them. The circular economy is indispensable and we are one of its leaders.
For 160 years, water, sanitation, waste collection and recovery activities and services have been essential. SUEZ draws on the expertise it has been developing since the late 19th century to help people constantly improve their quality of life by protecting their health and supporting economic growth.
