Working at SUEZ: a job serving the environment

A committed company

Diversity is both a performance driver and a source of pride for our staff. Each personality, each profile, each skill enriches us collectively and allows us to continue making progress. We are actively committed to creating an ever more inclusive working environment for all our employees.

As a company engaged in the inclusive economy, we support and encourage respect for diversity.
Day-to-day, we pay particular attention to three major principles, acting in accordance with them to ensure an increasingly inclusive working environment for our people:

Developing an inclusive organization and inclusive working methods that allow everyone to find their place in the business

Attracting and recruiting talented people from diverse backgrounds

Celebrating our initiatives and success stories in terms of inclusion and diversity

For example, at the group level, we offer dedicated training on empowering women, we support staff networks committed to diversity, and we train all our managers in how to foster diversity in their teams. At SUEZ in North America, we include diversity, equity, and inclusion as part of our hiring policy, ensuring that we create fair opportunities, welcome diverse perspectives, and build a workplace where everyone feels valued and supported.

Our fundamentals: a commitment to people and the planet

In a constantly changing world and faced with growing environmental challenges, we must constantly question what we do and challenge ourselves in order to remain at the forefront. We firmly believe that collective success depends on helping our employees to develop and on sharing common standards.

Our purpose drives our commitment and guides us

"Faced with growing environmental challenges, each day, for more than 160 years, we have been acting in support of our clients and partners to deliver essential services that protect and improve the quality of life wherever we operate.

United by a passion for our work as well as our inclusive culture and team spirit, we innovate to conserve water and create value from waste, in the form of energy and recycled materials. We promote and implement responsible behaviors, more efficient technologies, and circular solutions to recycle and make the best possible use of the finite resources of the Earth.

Deeply rooted in our community, we are committed to providing people and the planet with the resources for a common future."

Our collective success is built on our core values and behaviors

Those values are displayed every day by all our people. They guide their behavior and reflect the mindset with which we address the environmental and social challenges of our time.

To highlight the positive impact of our initiatives, we publish our own magazine called PLUS, which we send to all our employees as well as our clients and partners. Twice a year, it celebrates our successes all around the world and embodies the company’s mindset.

Your working environment

Working at SUEZ means working for a company with high-quality working conditions. We are actively committed to the well-being of our employees, and we carefully monitor four key aspects.

Employee Well-being

We believe that caring for our people goes beyond the work we do together. That’s why we’ve formed a dedicated Well-being Committee, made up of volunteer employees from across our North American team. The committee meets regularly to listen, share ideas, and put meaningful well-being initiatives into action – fostering connection, balance, and support both inside and outside of work. From health-focused programs to community-building activities, the committee ensures that employee well-being remains a priority and an integral part of our culture.

A strict and ambitious health and safety policy

We take action every day to protect all the lives and health of employees, subcontractors, customers and citizens. We want to set an example and we deploy ambitious action plans to achieve our target of having “zero serious or fatal accidents”.

An established remote working policy

The SUEZ group encourages remote working everywhere we operate, in order to improve our employees’ quality of life at work and increase flexibility.
