The Group has maintained strong commercial momentum in the French market by renewing and securing large numbers of contracts, including:

Aix-Marseille Provence

Drinking water and sanitation management in Istres Ouest-Pro- vence for over eight years. These contracts, worth a total of 98 mil- lion, serve nearly 100,000 residents.

Greater Dijon

Creation of the first multi-service single-contract public-private com- pany (SEMOP) in France dedicated to managing both public water and sanitation services. The company covers 220,000 residents of 15 municipalities in greater Dijon.

Pre-collection and collection of household and similar waste, with total revenues of nearly 70 million over five years.

In line with the provisions of the British government s Social Value Act, which encourages public service providers to evaluate and optimise the social, economic and environmental benefits of the services they provide to local authorities, SUEZ has developed a Social Profit calculator in the UK. Based on national and international calculation standards, it translates the positive externalities of the Group s activities into monetary terms.

The tool has been used to monetise the non-financial benefits arising from Greater Manchester s outsourced municipal waste management contract, totalling around three times the amount paid annually for the contract.
