Veolia's reported carbon emissions

Veolia, a company operating in the collected and purified water, and distribution services of water industry, based in France, has reported its carbon emissions and climate commitments. In 2025, Veolia's total greenhouse gas emissions were approximately 45.5 billion kg CO2e. This breaks down into approximately 18.2 billion kg CO2e for Scope 1 emissions, approximately 1.55 billion kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based) emissions, and approximately 28.8 billion kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. Scope 3 emissions were predominantly driven by fuel and energy-related activities (approximately 6.9 billion kg CO2e), use of sold products (approximately 6.8 billion kg CO2e), and purchased goods and services (approximately 5.5 billion kg CO2e). Veolia has set ambitious climate targets, including a commitment to achieve Net Zero by 2050 across scopes 1, 2, and 3. This long-term goal is supported by intermediate targets, such as a commitment to reduce its Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50% by 2032, compared to 2021 levels. Additionally, Veolia aims for a 30% reduction across 67% of its Scope 3 emissions by the same year. The company has also committed to phasing out coal by 2030, with a planned investment of €1.5 billion, aiming for a reduction of 2.7 million tonnes of CO2e. Veolia's commitment to emission reduction is further evidenced by its participation in the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi), with targets aligned with the 1.5°C Paris Agreement pathway.
