Climate Impact : The Race Against
Time to Protect Vulnerable Lives
The urgency to minimize climate impact has reached unprecedented levels: humanity releases a staggering 50+ billion metric tons of CO2 annually, threatening the very fabric of our existence. This massive carbon footprint has placed 3.6 billion people - nearly half of the world's population - in positions of extreme vulnerability to climate-related disasters, including rising sea levels, extreme weather events, food insecurity, and water scarcity. Immediate action to decarbonize and adapt isn't just an option - it's essential for humanity's survival and well-being.

A Circular Approach
Producing Renewable and Low Carbon Energy
Across South East Asia, Veolia transforms environmental challenges into renewable energy opportunities . At our Singapore facility, we've pioneered a circular economy approach by converting hazardous waste into valuable energy resources. Through innovative incineration processes, we capture and convert waste heat into both electricity and steam, effectively turning industrial waste management into clean energy production. This dual-benefit solution not only ensures responsible hazardous waste treatment but also generates local, low-carbon energy, demonstrating our commitment to sustainable industrial solutions that balance operational efficiency with environmental stewardship.
Waste to Energy
By recovering energy from waste streams, we enable the extraction of resources, encouraging a sustainable and circular economy.
On Site Energy Management
Efficient on-site energy management is key to optimising energy usage and maximising savings.
