“Yesterday, Veolia (a water, energy, and waste management multinational corporation) held its general shareholders meeting at the Maison de la Mutualité on the Left Bank in Paris. The French company is the globe’s largest private drinking water supplier. Its U.S. portfolio is certain to cheer its investors, with operations doubling in size over the past five years for revenues of $5.4 billion in 2023. In its ‘Deep Dive: Veolia in the U.S.’ overview published last week, the company says that its goal is to ‘support U.S. industrial and economic growth while preserving health and taking into account the planetary limits.’ One key growth area for the company, which wants to double its size by 2030, is water quality issues prompted by an ‘unprecedented wave of regulations’ regarding PFAS, lead, and copper.” (04/26/24)
