Suez Environnement

SUEZ Environnement has supported Aquassistance since its creation in 1994. This NGO allows our employees to help people in distress around the world,on a voluntary basis. Aquassistance makes it possible to take action in emergencies and in favour of development aid. It currently has about 60 development projects under way, with more than a 100 volunteers taking action each year. The volunteers use their spare time to apply their skills to the design and installation of drinking water and sanitation distribution systems, as well as training local people to operate and maintain them. A very important point for us is that Aquassistance only intervenes in projects that are completely distinct from the business development of SUEZ Environnement.
