## Our commitment

Firmly believing in the role and utility of companies to meet society's expectations, Veolia is one of the first French companies to have defined **its core purpose**, under the leadership of its president, who believes that **"a company is successful because it is useful and not the other way around"**.

In the heart of this ambitious collective project, the Engineering & Consulting expertise of Veolia, has defined its CSR policy and commitments. Now more than ever let’s ask ourselves the right questions in both our profession and in our daily lives, and help our customers to strive for more sustainable solutions and achievements for our planet, society, and the generations to come.

**We have built our CSR policy collectively based on three essential commitments.**

## Multifaceted performance

### Towards an integrated approach to CSR and corporate strategy

**Multifaceted performance, aiming for a balance between 5 dimensions: economic and financial, commercial, social, HR and environmental, is natively at the heart of our projects.**

We have incorporated, in addition to the commercial and economic aspects, a decision-making process based on environmental, social and societal indicators. This process is designed to guide the preparation of bids and the execution of projects.

In **2020**, we confirmed our **commitment to the climate** by signing a **charter** drawn up by our trade federation, [**Syntec-Ingénierie**](https://www.syntec-ingenierie.fr/en/homepage/ "Syntec-ingénierie")**,** for all its members.  
In signing this Engineering Charter, we have pledged to implement concrete actions:

- Within our company: by **reducing** business air **travel**, setting up measures to stimulate an **eco-friendly use of digital tools**, and by **grading our carbon footprint**, which has since become an internal expertise in our company.
- Through our projects: **offering our clients sustainable solutions and accompanying them in the conservation of resources.**

 On October 14, 2021, **we have signed the Engineering Diversity Charter**, launched by the [Syntec-Ingénierie](https://www.syntec-ingenierie.fr/en/homepage/ "Syntec-ingénierie") federation, during the 20th edition of the Meet’ingé forum organized for the engineering professions.

To take things further, we have now pledged to work alongside Syntec-Ingénierie and other signatory companies **to foster gender diversity in the workplace and to develop the role of women in engineering.** Tangible actions will be conducted under the **four engagements** in the Diversity Charter:

1. Take action to **change the image of engineering among young people,** especially girls and young women.
2. **Ensure equal treatment for women and men** throughout their careers.
3. **Promote a balance in professional and personal life** for all employees.
4. Encourage **access to managerial positions for women** by fostering upward mobility.
