Profile

SUEZ, an international industrial and services Group, designs sustainable and innovative solutions for the management of public utilities as a partner of public authorities, businesses and individuals. The Group aims to answer essential needs in electricity, natural gas, energy services, water and waste management.

For more than 150 years, SUEZ companies have been providing for cities and businesses as they are challenged with new constraints tied to demographic growth, urbanization, higher standards of living and environmental protection. To meet their expanding needs efficiently, the Group has focused its businesses on five major challenges: local rootedness, market shifts, the fight against climate change, resource preservation and the quality of life of populations.

Each day, the 149,000 men and women at SUEZ work at local level to resolve these issues through partnerships based on performance, innovation and dialog. Their technical and managerial know-how serves to restrain energy consumption, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, preserve the water resource and provide access to sanitation while continuously monitoring risks that could have an impact on the health and safety of populations.

Thanks to their expertise and commitment, today more than 200 million individuals, 3,000 municipalities and 500,000 industrial clients have daily access to clean energy, treated water and environment-friendly waste services.

SUEZ teams have been serving the same essential rule for more than 150 years: working on the natural environment while striving to preserve it. For them, delivering the essentials of life is a source of pride as well as a necessity: that of shaping the world of tomorrow.

SUEZ is listed on the Brussels, Luxembourg, Paris and Zurich stock exchanges and is represented in the main international indices: CAC 40, BEL 20, DJ STOXX 50, DJ EURO STOXX 50, Euronext 100, FTSE Eurotop 100, MSCI Europe and ASPI Eurozone. The Group achieved revenues of €47.5 billion in 2006, 89% of which were generated in Europe and in North America.
