Company News
Veolia has launched Data Center Resource 360, a global integrated offering designed to address environmental and operational challenges in the rapidly expanding data centre industry. The announcement was made in London. The global data centre market is projected to grow approximately 11% annually through 2034, but nearly half of planned facilities could face permitting delays due to concerns over water consumption, energy use and local resource constraints. The market for integrated data centre solutions is valued at around $5 billion annually by 2030. Veolia currently works with 10 leading global data centre operators across over 100 facilities. The company's offering aims to transform data centres into carbon-neutral, water-positive, circular hubs, achieving up to 20% energy reuse, 75% reduction in water footprint and 95% waste recycling and reuse.
Veolia Environnement SA plans to nearly double revenue from artificial intelligence industries to €1 billion by 2030, up from €560 million last year. The French utility will provide services to data centre operators and chip manufacturers, including heat capture, cooling water reuse, and electronic waste treatment. Chief executive officer Estelle Brachlianoff announced the plans at a presentation in London on Tuesday. The expansion targets the rapidly growing AI sector's environmental needs as demand for data processing infrastructure continues to surge.
Veolia has successfully placed a dual-tranche bond issue totalling €1 billion. The offering comprises a €500 million five-year tranche with a 3.69% coupon and a €500 million 10-year tranche with a 4.122% coupon. The transaction attracted over 400 orders, with total demand reaching €7.7 billion. Strong investor interest allowed Veolia to price the bonds with zero new issue premium despite recent fixed-income market volatility. The company said the oversubscription and favourable terms reflect positive investor sentiment towards its credit profile and international growth prospects. Deputy CEO Emmanuelle Menning expressed confidence in executing the company's GreenUp strategic plan for sustainable growth in ecological security.
Veolia Environnement has completed the annual update of its €22 billion Euro Medium Term Notes programme. The French environmental services company received approval from the Autorité des Marchés Financiers on 30 March 2026, with approval number 26-067. The base prospectus is available on Veolia's website and the AMF website. Veolia operates across five continents with 215,000 employees, providing water, waste management and energy services. In 2025, the company served 110 million people with drinking water, produced 45 million megawatt hours of energy and treated 64 million tonnes of waste, generating consolidated revenue of €44.4 billion.
Veolia has acquired Enviropacific, an Australian soil remediation company, for approximately AUD 220 million to strengthen its PFAS treatment capabilities. The deal, subject to customary closing conditions, adds a company with roughly AUD 250 million in FY25 revenue and nearly 300 employees. The acquisition addresses growing demand for PFAS contamination treatment in Australia, where historical use of firefighting foam at defence sites, airports and industrial facilities has contaminated soil and groundwater. Veolia has operated in Australia's PFAS treatment market for over 20 years. The transaction advances Veolia's goal of reaching €1 billion in micropollutants treatment revenue by 2030. The acquisition combines Enviropacific's local remediation expertise with Veolia's global technologies, expected to drive revenue growth and operational synergies across water treatment, hazardous waste management and soil remediation services.
