In a world of growing needs and dwindling reserves, access to basic resources is becomingly increasingly complex and a source of tension. In response to these challenges, Veolia is developing durable solutions to supply the greatest possible number of people with the resources needed to ensure the wellbeing of communities, to make regions attractive and to underpin the performance of companies. These solutions include access to safe drinking water and energy services for cities and their inhabitants, services to industry to guarantee continuous supplies for production processes, and recovery systems for materials within a circular economy.

In this way, the result of 160 years of history, Veolia's Purpose is to “Contribute to human progress”. It is in line with its “Resourcing the World” mission statement. It states the fundamental way in which Veolia will act. It is both the direction in which the Group is heading and a means to give  its actions a firmer long-term foundation.
