Environmental solutions

With urban populations growing at around 1 million people every week, 60% of the world's population will be living in cities by 2030, so it is becoming vital that we identify environmental solutions that can be implemented to cope with this urban inrush.

Putting public transportation at the heart of sustainable urban growth

Faced with challenges as daunting as climate change, atmospheric pollution and the exhaustion of fossil fuels, everyone must now sit up and take notice of ecological issues. These challenges are central to Veolia Transport. The key direction for effective action against greenhouse gas emissions lies fairly and squarely in a massive shift from the private automobile to public transportation. Veolia Transport is totally committed to improving its transportation systems through the development of alternative mobility options, like cycling and car sharing.

By working closely with its corporate clients, passengers and employees, Veolia Transport has succeeded in reducing its CO2 emissions by 22% and its use of fossil fuels by 23% since 2005. The mobility services we provide reduced CO2 emissions by 4.3 million metric tons in 2009.
