New Report Highlights Progress Made in 2014
On the occasion of World Environment Day, SUEZ Environnement
North America—the US and Canadian subsidiary of the second largest
environmental services company in the world—released its annual
Sustainable Development Report to share progress toward social,
environmental and other non-financial goals.
“Annually, we set goals to make measurable progress towards our
vision of moving cities, businesses and industries from an economy
that over-consumes natural resources to one that optimizes
management and use of resources. With each milestone, achieved in
collaboration with clients and partners, we are better positioned
to lead the way from resource crisis to resource revolution,” said
Bertrand Camus, chief executive officer.
In 2014 notable progress was made towards goals in improving
energy efficiency, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, wastewater
reuse and reducing wasted water within our distribution system.
- The company has continually improved
upon energy goals, including a 5% reduction in greenhouse gas
emissions and is on track to achieve a 5% improvement in energy
efficiency by 2016.
- A 1.8% decline in non-revenue water, or
water lost within the distribution system, equivalent to saving 1.4
billion gallons for the year was achieved;
- Amidst record drought across the U.S.
the company has a leading edge in reusing 12% of water that would
otherwise have been discharged as wastewater.
SUEZ Environnement uses non-financial measures to monitor
increases in efficiency and profitability while reducing
environmental impact, engaging its employees and collaborating with
stakeholders. Each priority area looks at specific challenges that
the continent is facing, including aging infrastructure and water
loss, energy efficiency, climate change, water-resource protection
and corporate responsibility.
The report pairs each commitment with an example of SUEZ
Environnement’s most significant accomplishments toward attaining
it in North America. For example, a new solid waste recycling
partnership with the City of Edmonton which diverts 60% of
residential waste from landfill disposal will now serve as a
reference for the company as well as a model for aspiring cities
across the continent.
“Moving forward, we believe that these initiatives will help us
to better provide innovative and industry leading solutions to
clients and customers, many of whom are seeking to optimize
increasingly scarce resources within the water cycle and the
circular economy,” said Camus.
