Veolia Environnement SA

Veolia describes a nascent framework to align its interest representation with its climate objectives, noting that "the multi-faceted performance approach and its climate objectives, backed up by the Impact 2023 strategic programme" provides "guidelines aimed at developing Veolia's low-carbon solutions" and that joint workstreams with its forthcoming strategic plan will guide "our interest representation actions." It also confirms a public commitment to conduct its advocacy "in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement," answering "Yes" to that specific question. However, the company does not disclose a formal oversight body or named individual responsible for approving or reviewing lobbying positions, nor does it define a mechanism to monitor or enforce that alignment; it states that two axes "will help define compliance lines for our interests representation activities" but these remain under preparation. We found no evidence of processes to assess or adjust engagement with trade associations whose stances may conflict with its climate objectives, indicating limited governance over its climate-related lobbying.
