About Us
Veolia contributes to human progress in Southern Africa through ecological transformation.
Our Purpose
We help industrial and municipal Clients use resources more efficiently and minimise environmental impact by integrating water, waste and energy solutions.
How we do it
Our teams bring together expertise, technology and operations to deliver practical and measurable full-turnkey solutions that decarbonise operations, depollute and regenerate resources through recovery, reuse and improved performance.
By addressing local challenges - from water security and pollution control to waste reduction and decarbonisation, we contribute to the economic and social development progress.
Our approach is built on circularity, environmental performance and long-term collaboration with Clients and Stakeholders.
Guided by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, we deliver every project to create shared value - environmental, social and economic.
Our
Purpose
We combine local in-house expertise across water, waste and energy, with global support and know-how to deliver solutions shaped by Southern Africa’s specific needs, regulations and operating conditions.
We support municipalities and industries to evolve critical services and infrastructure - strengthening water security, enabling wastewater reuse, advancing resource recovery, and accelerating decarbonisation through greener energy solutions and reduced operational emissions.
Our local successful track record includes benchmark projects such as Durban Water Recycling, one of the first large-scale reuse initiatives in Southern Africa, and our direct potable reuse flagship in Namibia. An exemplary example of integrated wate-water-energy utility solution is the Woodlands Dairy resource recovery project in the Eastern Cape. We work hand in hand with local authorities and industrial partners to develop circular economy models adapted to the South African context.
Our ambition is to turn climate challenges into opportunities for innovation and sustainable performance, in service of economic and social development.
