27SUEZ
SUEZ is ready to respond to the multiplication of environmental programmes worldwide.
In China where some environmental standards are now stricter than their European equivalents, the creation of SUEZ NWS (in which SUEZ owns a 58% stake representing all its operational assets) enables the Group to both reinforce its presence in the infrastructure market, including environmental services and hazardous waste management for cities and industrial companies, and to expand into Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore.
In the USA, the Group's solutions are particularly well placed in the context of the new infrastructure plan, while in Australia, which has introduced targets for the reduction of waste storage, SUEZ is consolidating its leading position in the waste recovery market and helping
to combat water stress with its solutions for reusing waste water and replenishing groundwater.
In Latin America, including Chile and Panama, SUEZ is bolstering its position by transforming water treatment plants into biofactories (industrial facilities that generate water and energy resources). Building on its European expertise, the Group is positioning itself in the Middle East as a major player in soil decontamination and continuing its development in the market for dismantling, decontaminating and converting industrial sites.
In Africa, the Group intends to expand its influence from its base in Morocco, deploying compact water treatment units that are well suited to the needs of many African cities. India is one of the Group's main strategic priorities in 2018. With a presence dating back over thirty years and the construction of more than 250
drinking water treatment plants, SUEZ aims to reinforce its presence here, including the drinking water distribution market: in the contract awarded recently by the Coimbatore Municipal Corporation to manage the drinking water system for the whole city is a passport for expansion to other cities.
With environmental programmes multiplying in many regions of the world, SUEZ intends to reinforce its international leadership with tailor-made solutions based on local partnerships.
