"Compagnie Générale des Eaux" becomes "Veolia Water"

In November 2005 Veolia Environnement brought together its four Divisions under one common name - Veolia.

This move, along with a new logo, reflects the will of the entire Group to build overall consistency between its divisions and to raise the company's profile.

Having already synergized its research and training resources, this development by Veolia Environnement affirms the commitment of its 270,000 employees around the values of its services.

In France, Compagnie Générale des Eaux became Veolia Eau. The main subsidiaries abroad took the name Veolia to which was added the word "Water" in the language of each particular country such as Veolia Voda in the Czech Republic and Veolia Wasser in Germany.
