Veolia’s commitment to Net Zero
Veolia recognises the special role it plays in decarbonising the essential services we provide across waste, water and energy within our business, but also by helping customers reach their own net zero ambitions.
In 2023, Veolia’s Greenhouse gas emissions were 1,282 kt CO2 eq within Scopes 1 and 2 in Australia and New Zealand. Our current ANZ target is in line with Veolia Groups commitment to a 50% reduction in its scope 1 and 2 emissions and a 30% reduction across 67% of scope 3 by 2032 (compared to 2021). These targets have been approved.

Our Actions at A Glance

How We’ll Get There

Pillar 1: Capture
Reduce Scope 1 emissions by improving landfill gas capture: our most material emissions source (80% of our scope 1 emissions).

Pillar 2: Invest
Reduce Scope 1& 2 emissions by investing in recycling and recovery infrastructure to increase diversion of waste, especially organics and residual waste, from landfill.

Pillar 3: Offer
Offer our customers solutions to monitor and reduce carbon emissions in their own operations.

Pillar 4: Generate
Increase the use of green energy sources within our own operations, moving towards energy self sufficiency. In addition, generate renewable energy that can be sold into the grid.
