WATER, A SOURCE OF VALUE FOR INDUSTRY

IMPROVING PERFORMANCE AND COSTS THROUGH EFFICIENT WATER MANAGEMENT

As a basic element of our environment, water plays an essential role in

all human activities. In most industries, water is a critical part of the

manufacturing process and needs to be discharged in conditions

compliant with environmental legislation.

Just like other resources and materials, management of the water

cycle and its applications is a complex economical and environmental

challenge for Industry, with different issues to be considered for each

activity and site.

Meeting these challenges effectively and consistently calls for

expertise, experience, long-term commitment and continuous

adjustment to developments in the industrial, technological and

environmental context.

Ondeo Industrial Solutions, part of the global SUEZ Group, brings

together under one roof all the expertise, experience and skills

required to help each industry define, implement and operate

appropriate and evolving water management solutions which are fully

compliant with stringent health, safety and environmental regulations

and standards.

Our expertise in effective and proven technologies, combined with

our innovative approach to contractual, financial and social aspects

of projects, is now widely recognised across Europe, demonstrated

in our many and varied projects and contracts, of all sizes and in all

industrial sectors.

As a reliable partner to Industry, we know and understand your

business and bring you the benefit of our own area of expertise: adding

value to your water cycle management, in line with your sustainable

development goals.
