Veolia Environnement’s Executive Committee

Integrated company management

The Executive Committee is responsible for considering, consulting and deciding on the company's broad strategic options. It meets roughly once every two weeks.

A cohesive team dedicated to deploying a coherent strategy

With a membership consisting of the divisional heads, it makes sure that corporate strategy is implemented in a coherent manner, under the chairmanship of Henri Proglio.

Cross-divisional committees for true accountability

The Disclosure Committee
The Disclosure Committee is responsible for the collection and quality of information intended for publication by the company. In particular it approves draft reports and financial disclosure documents submitted to the French and American stock market authorities. It met twice in 2006. In June, it revised the Form 20-F filing process and validated the 20-F report prior to filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the United States. In December, it reviewed regulatory changes likely to affect the annual reports and initiated work on preparation of the 2006 reports.

The Risk Management Committee
At its four meetings in 2006, the Risk Management Committee reviewed the deployment of specific action plans to address material operating risks such as employee safety, fuel price fluctuations, insurance programs, crisis communication and planning for a possible flu pandemic.

The Ethics Committee
The Ethics Committee, set up in 2004, considers all issues connected with the Ethics, Belief and Responsibility program launched in 2003. This program is a full-scale corporate project intended to guide the daily conduct of the company’s employees in each of the 67 countries in which it operates. The program expresses the fundamental values of Veolia Environnement, such as respect for human rights, strict compliance with national laws, fair treatment of clients and consumers, commitment to sustainable development and solidarity. The Ethics Committee has a duty of independence and confidentiality and all employees may refer ethics-related questions to it. It may also take up issues itself.
