- 1 billion euro in sales by 2030 targeted in the fight against micropollutants (and in particular PFAS) through the combination of all the Group’s activities
- The most complete end-to-end solution on the market, mobilizing all the Group’s expertise across the value chain
At its Deep Dive ‘New Solutions for Water’ conference in Hungary on October 17, Veolia announced a revenue target for treating micropollutants and launched an unparalleled integrated global offering for the treatment of regulated PFAS.
The fight against micropollutants has been identified by the Group as a major focus of its GreenUp strategic program, with an ambition to generate sales of €1 billion in this segment by 2030. This goal will be largely supported by the launch of the BeyondPFAS offer, which represents a major step forward in the fight against PFAS worldwide.
A pioneer in the treatment of pollutants in drinking water, soil and hazardous waste, Veolia is a key player across the entire value chain, from detection to complete disposal. By combining the skills of its three businesses worldwide, Veolia can act from the earliest stages of detecting pollutants to ensure their effective treatment and sustainable disposal. This unique positioning enables the Group to offer solutions tailored to each territory, both economically and technologically.
Internationally, particularly in the United States, Veolia has already treated more than 8 million m³ of PFAS-contaminated water using advanced technologies. In France, Veolia has already carried out a vast campaign to detect the 20 regulated PFAS, before deploying more than 30 mobile units to offer tailored solutions to local authorities and guarantee high-quality water.
‘The PFAS offer is a perfect illustration of Veolia’s value creation model. It was made possible by our ability to combine all our expertise across the entire pollution treatment value chain,’ commented Estelle Brachlianoff, Veolia’s Chief Executive Officer. ‘This is the most comprehensive end-to-end offering on the market, combining our skills in diagnostics, water treatment and waste management, providing a complete, innovative and best value for money solution to this major environmental challenge.’
The BeyondPFAS offer includes :
- State-of-the-art technologies for the detection and quantification of regulated PFAS in water
- Technologically and economically suitable treatment solutions for the treatment of regulated PFAS from drinking water and wastewater
- Innovative processes for the safe management and treatment of PFAS-contaminated waste
- Consultancy and support services for local authorities and industry faced with the problem of PFAS
