PARIS, November 25, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:
During a visit to Barcelona to inaugurate the first cold recovery network in Spain at the Port of Barcelona alongside its local partners, Veolia (Paris:VIE) unveiled its growth ambitions in the Spanish environmental services market.
Driven by the GreenUp strategic plan, the Group displays, in Spain, solid ambitions in terms of growth and investments in order to continue offering its municipal and industrial clients customized, innovative and effective solutions in response to their challenges. Veolia is thus using its global expertise in optimized resource management using digital technology, desalination of seawater, or the treatment of pollutants such as PFAS to change the game in Spain. In Europe, Spain is a key area for Veolia which, after investing more than €360 million between 2022 and 2023 to reach a turnover of €2.6 billion in 2023, continues its ambitious growth trajectory.
In the water sector, Veolia Spain offers solutions on the complete management of the water cycle for cities, industries and agriculture. While 75% of the Spanish territory is currently at risk of desertification and Spain is directly facing the consequences of climate change, Veolia invests and innovates to help territories adapt. Between 2022 and 2023 Veolia invested more than €270 million in adaptation, both in water concessions, the implementation of innovative solutions to reuse wastewater or to ensure quality water free of pollutants, and also in drought-related plans.
The Group also has significant ambitions in the sectors of energy efficiency and waste recycling, both at the heart of its strategy to depollute, decarbonize and preserve resources in Spain.
