The GreenUp Strategy from 2024 -2027 embodies Veolia's new ambition to make ecological transition a driver of sustainable growth.
It aims to combine economic performance with positive environmental impact, relying on concrete and measurable solutions.
Our Climate Commitment
Veolia is committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, with a 50% reduction in direct emissions by 2032. This ambitious target drives every decision we make and every solution we deploy.
Low-Carbon Solutions for Southern Africa
We support our public and private partners in implementing low-carbon solutions such as:
- Waste-to-Energy – Converting waste into clean, renewable energy
- Bioenergy Production – Harnessing organic waste to generate sustainable power
- Energy Performance Optimization – Improving efficiency in industrial and municipal facilities
- Renewable Energy Integration – Supporting the transition away from fossil fuels
These initiatives help strengthen the energy resilience of territories and contribute to meeting national sustainability goals, while reducing operational costs and environmental impact.
Decarbonization:
Leading the Path to Carbon Neutrality
Advanced Treatment Technologies
As a global leader in the treatment of hazardous waste and emerging pollutants, Veolia develops advanced technologies to eliminate:
- Microplastics – Removing these persistent contaminants from water and waste streams
- PFAS (Forever Chemicals) – Treating these harmful substances that threaten water quality
- Industrial Contaminants – Safely managing complex chemical pollutants
- Hazardous Waste – Ensuring responsible treatment and disposal
Creating Healthier Environments
Our solutions ensure the protection of human health and the restoration of natural ecosystems through responsible management of soil, air, and water.
Each project helps create a healthier environment and promotes resource-conscious growth, benefiting communities and industries across Southern Africa.
# Preserving and Restoring Natural Capital
Veolia works to preserve and regenerate essential natural resources, recognizing that environmental health and economic prosperity are inseparable.
# Water Resource Regeneration
We promote water reuse through:
Water Recycling – Transforming wastewater into high-quality water for industrial and municipal use
Desalination – Creating new water sources from seawater and brackish water
Network Optimization – Reducing losses and improving distribution efficiency
Aquifer Protection – Ensuring the sustainable use of this vital resource
# Circular Economy in Action
Our solutions also enable:
Material Recovery – Extracting valuable resources from waste streams
Local Circular Loops – Strengthening regional resource independence
By-Product Valorization – Turning industrial outputs into valuable inputs
Resource Efficiency – Maximizing value while minimizing consumption
Each initiative aims to give resources a second life and support the long-term competitiveness of territories.
Regeneration:
Giving Resources a Second Life
The GreenUp Strategy isn't just an aspiration—it's a roadmap backed by concrete targets, proven technologies, and measurable results.
Through decarbonization, depollution and regeneration, we're helping Southern Africa build a more sustainable, resilient and prosperous future.
Join us in transforming ecological challenges into opportunities for lasting growth and positive impact.
