Every day across the country our “resourcers” design and deploy useful and concrete solutions, which help our customers fight against climate change, prevent pollution of waterways, soil and air and create a circular economy where nothing goes to waste.
Every year, we serve around 1.8 million people through our municipal wastewater contracts. We complete over 400 million waste collections across our Local Authority contracts, serving over 3 million residential properties; and we treat over 1.5 million tonnes of commercial and industrial waste from our 85,000 private customers. We also produce over 560 MWe of renewable and low carbon electricity, to power over 1.3 million homes.
We also anticipate the needs of tomorrow with innovative solutions that will decarbonise our energy and heating demands through the development of microgrids and energy management through our Hubgrade solution, which optimises the resources using digital and artificial intelligence.
Veolia UK is an exciting and innovative place to work, but don't just take our word for it - we were named as one of the top 10 'Very Big Organisations' to work for in The Sunday Times' Best Places to Work 2024.
