5 KEY DATES
16:24 - 24 November 2017
You position yourselves at the leading edge of the circular economy. How are you always a step ahead ? We aim to amplify our transformation in 2018, mirroring an accelerating world. Three engines will power this acceleration. One is the intensification of the digital revolution, which stimulates industrial performance and thus profitability: in the middle of the year, I will launch the SUEZ Digital Hub, which will optimise the launch of a brand new industrial and commercial project with high digital added value. Then comes the choice of a more agile organisation: we will draw full value from the synergies between our activities, particularly in France, so that our operation reflects the circular economy with a more interdisciplinary approach. Finally, we will emphasise an innovation policy that resolutely anticipates the arrival of a low-carbon world. This transformation will preserve our head start and consolidate our global leadership as a company that contributes to the major issues of society and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The results of our 2017-2021 Roadmap clearly show that our growth model is responsible, respects the United Nations Global Compact and creates shared value for all our stakeholders, as you will see in this third Integrated Report, which I hope you will enjoy reading!

Encouraging business and governments to work together round table at the One Planet Summit, bringing together Muhammad Yunus, Jean-Louis Chaussade, Isabelle Kocher and John Kerry.
Our vision is to make #Cities major players in the fight against #climatechange. They can no longer be black holes that just absorb energy, water and food according to a linear model. They are the major players in the #circulareconomy. #OnePlanetSummit #SUEZ4Climate
