Veolia's Community Engagement: Education, Environmental Protection & Cleanups
Veolia is deeply integrated into nearly 500 cities, towns, and neighborhoods where we operate. Our commitment to ecological transformation underscores the importance of collaborating with local communities, schools, and advocacy groups, while also fostering social equity and building strong stakeholder relationships. Below are a few examples of how we actively engage with communities to provide meaningful support.
OUTREACH AND EDUCATION INITIATIVES
We frequently organize tours of our facilities for students across the United States, offering insights into environmental services and inspiring interest in sustainability and STEM careers. Additionally, we deliver classroom presentations and educational materials to help schools teach students about water and wastewater systems, biodiversity, and water source protection. From visits to the Oradell Dam to community events in Milwaukee, students of all ages enjoy discovering how our work benefits their local areas.
EMPOWERING THE NEXT GENERATION
We strive to provide tools and resources that highlight the critical role of wastewater treatment in safeguarding public health and the environment. Our extensive tour program welcomes hundreds of visitors annually, from elementary school students to community groups, to Nassau County’s wastewater treatment plants. Visitors gain a hands-on understanding of the journey from flushing toilets to discharging treated water back into natural ecosystems. We also equip educators with engaging lesson plans and experiments to enrich their water education curriculum.
TACKLING LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGES
Our expertise goes beyond service delivery—it helps protect ecosystems and conserve vital resources for people, plants, and animals. Collaborating with community leaders, we tailor our solutions to address specific environmental challenges. Throughout the year, we actively participate in local events, cleanups, and other initiatives to strengthen our connection with the communities we serve.
COMMUNITY CLEANUPS
Across North America, our employees, partners, and residents come together to clean and revitalize public green spaces. These efforts provide an opportunity to connect directly with the communities we serve, better understand their needs, and contribute to creating brighter, more inviting shared spaces.
