CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

We are a company with a heightened awareness of Corporate Social Responsibility because Energy and Environmental management is at the very heart of what we deliver for our clients, day in day out. Underpinning our CSR philosophy is the strong influence of our parent organisation Veolia Environnement, one of the world's leading environmental organisations. We have adopted their ten-point environmental charter and implement their initiatives and programmes on a local basis.
