By 2035, 40% of the world s population will live in water-stressed areas if we do not act to secure water resources.

SUEZ is committed to both saving water through improved leak and consumption management, and maximising supply by increasing available volumes of alternative water (wastewater reuse, desalination).

SUEZ offers solutions to industrials that aim to limit their water footprint and is working to raise awareness of the consequences of climate change on water within the Business Alliance for Water and Climate. Prevention is as important as adaptation: SUEZ is developing predictive tools for flood risk prevention for communities of all sizes.
