- Engineering News Record (ENR) has named Veolia the top
environmental firm in the U.S. for the fourth year in a row – a
recognition of Veolia’s global leadership in sustainability and
ecological transformation.
- Veolia was recognized as the top company in three specific
market segments: Hazardous Waste, Water Treatment/Supply and
Wastewater Treatment
Veolia, the world leader in delivering environmental services in
water, waste and energy, has received the top ranking in an annual
listing of the largest U.S. environmental services companies
compiled by Engineering News Record, a prominent industry trade
publication.
Ranked according to reported revenue, Veolia emerged as number
one in the publication’s annual list of the “Top 200 Environmental
Firms” in the U.S. in numerous market segments, including:
- Hazardous Waste Management
- Water Treatment/Supply
- Wastewater Treatment
Veolia’s top ranking in these categories affirms its status as
the leader in the ecological transformation as well as its
commitment to resourcing the world, while helping industrial and
municipal customers address their environmental and sustainability
challenges in energy, water and waste. Specifically, Veolia is
improving clients' energy efficiency, better managing their water
and wastewater and recovering value from their waste. In the
company's most recent sustainability report, Veolia reported
eliminating 13.8 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent, reusing
1.1 billion cubic meters of wastewater and supplying 113 million
people with drinking water.
This recognition aligns with Veolia's recently announced
2024-2027 Green Up strategy. Veolia combines its water, waste and
energy businesses to help customers decarbonize, depollute and
regenerate resources. The company's growth strategy leverages its
core operations combined with three key boosters: water
technologies and solutions, hazardous waste treatment, and
bioenergy, flexibility, and energy efficiency. Globally, Veolia’s
climate ambitions were recently validated by the Science Based
Target Initiative (SBTi) and Moodys. The company’s sustainability
programs have been recognized by external rating agencies including
CDP, S&P Global, ISS and the Dow Jones Sustainability
Indexes.
“We are extremely proud to be recognized as the leader once
again in providing innovative and vital environmental solutions to
millions of people in the U.S. and around the world,” said Fred Van
Heems, Veolia North America President and CEO. “North America is
one of the world’s fastest growing markets for environmental
services, which has produced a unique opportunity to help customers
solve their most complex and important environmental and
operational challenges. Guided by our ambitious GreenUp strategic
plan, Veolia combines the strength of its technical expertise with
a hands-on collaborative approach to innovation and a strong sense
of purpose in our work - not only in the United States but

The total combined revenue of the top 200 firms’ environmental
services reached a new high of $169.7 billion this year, reflecting
increased spending on climate and infrastructure projects around
the world.
