CONTRIBUTION TO THE EFFORT TO PROTECT BIODIVERSITY

2010 was marked by an international effort to promote biodiversity that was a crowning success. SUEZ ENVIRONNEMENT participated in this effort through the 2010 publication of a document summarizing the Group’s efforts in this sector, its understanding of the stakes, and the initiatives it took to protect and restore natural diversity. The Group also contributed to raising the awareness of the general public and its employees through actions, such as support for the documentary “The Heroes of Biodiversity,” produced by Allain Bougrain-Dubourg and broadcast on France Télévision. At their own levels, SITA and Lyonnaise des Eaux have led a range of initiatives, specifically in the organization of site visits to raise the awareness of the general public. 2010 was marked by an international effort to promote biodiversity that was a

It seeks to manage products “from birth to rebirth,” to recover reusable parts, recyclable materials and energy from products that have become waste. SUEZ ENVIRONNEMENT has a key role to play in this transformation of our economic models. THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY The circular economy fits into the larger context of a
