Our Culture

Our approach to our people

Around the world, Veolia Water always expects each of its teams to be attentive to the needs of their customers. They have to have a proactive attitude, whether they are working for the water companies providing water to consumers; or whether they are working for an outsourced contract for business customers.

At Veolia Water UK, we pride ourselves on our professional approach. Our culture is based on leading, involving, coaching and developing our people. We strive to be open and honest in our management style; showing care and respect for each other.

Our goal is to provide employees with the opportunities, resources and environment to make an effective contribution to the business. We are committed to developing our people's skills, and encourage them to take responsibility and to promote corporate innovation; and to respect fundamental rights.

In the workplace

We aim to provide our people with the opportunities, resources and environment they need so that they are able to make effective contributions to the business. We are committed to being an employer of choice by developing a working environment that attracts, retains and rewards talented people. The company has a personal development system in place, providing a structured approach to employee learning and career development.

In the environment

Seeking out opportunities to reduce our consumption of natural resources by using alternatives where possible, we're optimising efficiency of use whilst protecting and enhancing the environment. With our in-house planning, engineering, scientific and laboratory expertise, we maintain an ongoing dialogue with the Environment Agency, providing information on issues such as water quality and volume of water extracted. In turn, this helps the Environment Agency to develop improved water resource models.
