Bringing Together Financial Support and Professional Expertise
If it primarily provides financial assistance, the Foundation is also very committed to making its professional expertise available: each project is recommended and monitored by a "sponsor", an employee of the Group;
it also provides associations and institutions, who ask for its assistance in emergency response situations and in the area of human development, with "Veoliaforce", consisting of company employees who volunteer both their time and considerable expertise.
