Who are we?
As a global leader in the water and waste management sectors, we have been operating for over 160 years all over the world. We provide essential services to protect the resource and improve quality of life wherever we operate.
We support you to
Improve network performance
Our digital solutions are proving to be invaluable allies in optimising the performance of your water networks and managing resources more efficiently.
Guarantee plant performance
We guarantee the performance of your plants by operating them directly or providing you with solutions to help you manage them and optimise your operating and maintenance costs.
Reduce the impact of wastewater
We offer you innovative solutions to optimise drinking water and wastewater treatment, preserve water quality and manage the risks associated with flooding.
Improve network performance
Every day, we work to anticipate network obsolescence in order to improve their performance and limit water loss.
In 2022, across the 140,000 km of pipes we manage worldwide, more than 120,000 leaks were found and repaired, including 40,000 in France. This is equal to 330 leaks a day.

Reducing water loss is a key concern for local regions. In France, around 20% of water taken from the environment doesn’t make it to the tap. We are developing innovative digital solutions to detect leaks, predict breakages and optimise maintenance and upgrading works to continually improve the performance and resilience of water networks. Sensors placed on pipes collect data in real time, providing optimum visibility on how the network is operating, and adapt a proactive maintenance strategy to ensure continuous and reliable water distribution.
In Macau, China, the AQUADVANCED® Water Networks solution detected a leak in the private pipes of the University of Macau, avoiding the loss of 5,000 m3 of water, equal to three days’ worth of water used by the university.

Guarantee plant performance
We provide day-to-day support with managing the performance of your plants. Our teams cover all aspects of plant operation and offer solutions to help you to control your plants and optimise your operating and maintenance costs.
A number of local authorities have entrusted us with the operation and maintenance of their drinking water production and wastewater treatment plants. We guarantee that their plants run smoothly and meet the necessary quality standards, as well as ensuring continuity of service. On a delegated basis, we also operate on-site wastewater treatment plants for industrial groups. We take care of plant management and maintenance to ensure optimum performance at the lowest cost.
We are helping the authorities in Egypt to address the challenges facing the country in relation to demographics and climate. In Cairo, we are responsible for the operation and maintenance of the largest wastewater treatment plant on the East Bank of the Nile. The Gabal El Asfar plant ensures that treated water discharged into the natural environment is of optimum quality, protecting the water in the canal near the plant and the water in the Nile Delta.

Reduce the impact of wastewater
We develop innovative, responsible and sustainable solutions for collecting, treating and discharging wastewater and rainwater into the natural environment, controlling the impact on the environment.
Demographic growth, urban development and new forms of production and consumption generate more wastewater, which poses a major challenge for public health and the environment. Untreated or poorly treated wastewater pollutes natural environments, harms biodiversity and affects the quality of water resources.
To ensure sustainable, responsible and efficient management of water resources, we develop innovative solutions to optimise the treatment of drinking water and wastewater from the sewage network, protect water quality and manage flood risk.
We use efficient and sustainable treatment methods and are working permanently on identifying ways of reducing emissions.
We encourage wastewater recycling by means of a suitable biological treatment process to remove contaminants and make the water safe to reuse (for example, in farming).
We are working with the authorities in Nice on the Côte d’Azur on the plan to transform the Haliotis treatment plant, one of the biggest in Europe. Haliotis 2 will be able to treat and reuse wastewater from 26 towns in the Nice area, equivalent to 680,000 people, remove 90% of microplastics from the effluent and provide new renewable energy sources.
