Inclusion & Wellbeing
Welcoming people of all backgrounds
Respecting the views and opinions of others
Supporting each other and making everyone feel included
Standing up for inclusion
And there is variety in what we’re doing together:
In 2023, we launched our new inclusion strategy: Five by 2025.From improving our culture, to bettering our commitment to inclusion, diversity and equity, this outlines our bold ambitions and long-term objectives to hit by 2025.
The strategy looks at five key areas across our business. This includes a focus on leadership accountability, reviewing our approach to talent, progression and training, and working towards an environment where everyone feels safe to thrive as themselves at work.
We take the wellbeing of our colleagues seriously, so everyone has access to trained and dedicated mental health first aiders when they need to.
By providing site visits from trained medical professionals for our colleagues, we can encourage them to prioritise their health and wellbeing.
We also create a calendar of events and activities each year. These range from on-site events to interactive discussions and expert insights into wellbeing, inclusion and diversity.

Harnessing the Power of Our 50+ Talent
With our diverse and multi generational workforce we're able to bring together expertise, innovation and fresh perspectives. We're not just talking about age diversity, we're celebrating it!
To be part of both London and Brighton Pride, was a memorable moment for us at Veolia. We were honoured to spread our message: Proud at Veolia, throughout the streets and see over 80 Veolia colleagues take part in both celebrations, standing strong with the LGBTQIA+ community.
At Veolia, we want to bring out the best in our people, that’s why we’re always there to listen to and understand what is and what’s not working for our colleagues. Our Employee Resource Group is committed to regularly conduct listening sessions across the business. By understanding and acting on feedback from our colleagues, we can keep putting the people at the heart of Veolia first.
We know we must continue to challenge ourselves, assess our biases and listen to and learn from each other, all while making the next step in our journey towards a fairer future for all.

Our people have some incredible stories to share
“My current role at Veolia is a part-time split which allows for flexible working hours. I am still able to pursue my passion in the environmental services industry and help protect our planet, but I now also have time to enjoy and focus on my other interests. Having this part-time option is one of the reasons I am still in work today, as I believe I can make a change and having a supportive manager allows me to do so.”
“No two days are the same for me, which keeps me busy and interested. The scale of our operations means I’m always learning new things, even at my age of 56!”
I enjoy my job as it suits my lifestyle and I have a good work life balance. I've found Veolia is a lot more welcoming towards women than previous companies I have worked for
Veolia has a great support network, veterans and reservists who you can connect with, and great knowledge and methods to continually support veterans. Veolia and my team have made me feel welcome and now I can pursue my dream career.
