SUEZ Group is fully mobilized to ensure the safety of our employees and provide our services, essential to our customers, every day during this global health crisis. Fully aware of our responsibility, our teams can be proud of all they have achieved since the start of this year, which notably materialises into solid results for the first quarter. I wish to thank personally all our employees for their contribution and their involvement.
Their unfailing commitment allows the Group to become even closer to our customers. We can demonstrate daily the solidity of our organization and of our assets as well as the strength of our engagement. Everywhere we ensure reliability and quality in our services.
In the Q1 2020, the impact of the Covid-19 crisis hid a good performance of the Group. In January and February, in most of our geographies, revenue trends were solid in our three segments: Water, Recycling and Recovery, Environmental Tech. and Solutions.
Looking forward, we are working actively to prepare for successful containment exits. In the current context, the challenges we identified when building Shaping SUEZ 2030, the environmental emergency in particular, will be a priority for the economic recovery to come. We remain focused on SUEZ’s transformation - based on selective growth, simplified ways of working and employee engagement, our differentiating strategy brings us the agility we need to adapt. Even if the current environment is complex, I am confident that, over time, the Group’s resilience will be evident to the benefit of all stakeholders.
