Veolia Introduces Global Employee Stock Ownership Plan

Veolia has announced a new edition of its employee shareholding initiative, targeting over 190,000 employees globally. This plan aims to engage staff in the company's development and future performance by enabling them to subscribe to Veolia Environnement shares. As Veolia's largest shareholder, employees can thus reinforce their participation in the firm's growth and strategy.

Coinciding with the GreenUp strategic plan, this initiative supports Veolia's focus on ecological transformation. The settlement date for new shares is set for September 12, 2025. The proposed offer includes a secured offer with potential financial leverage and a classic discounted offer.

Eligible participants include employees in France and 55 other jurisdictions, with certain provisions for retired staff. The shares will be held until June 2030, with exceptions for eligible early release cases. The plan aligns with Veolia’s broader environmental strategy, supporting areas like decarbonization and pollution reduction.
