Description: VIE Veolia Environnement VE December 19, 2025
Veolia Environnement SA (ticker VIE) is a French multi-utility leader that designs, builds and operates integrated water, waste and energy management solutions for industrial clients, public authorities and residential customers.
The business is organized into five operating segments – France & Special Waste Europe; Europe (ex-France); Rest of the World; Water Technologies; and Other – covering the full value chain from water production, treatment and distribution to wastewater collection, recycling and waste-to-energy conversion, as well as heating-cooling networks and energy-efficiency services such as the Hubgrade platform.
Key recent metrics (FY 2023) include €81.5 billion of revenue, an adjusted EBITDA margin of roughly 15 % and €5.2 billion of capital expenditures, reflecting strong demand for ESG-linked infrastructure and rising regulatory pressure on water and waste treatment across Europe and emerging markets.
Founded in 1853 (originally Vivendi Environnement) and rebranded to Veolia in 2003, the group leverages a legacy of engineering expertise to capture secular growth drivers such as urbanisation, climate-change mitigation policies and the shift toward circular-economy business models.
