On the occasion of World Water Week held in Stockholm from August 31 to September 5, Veolia is arranging a seminar on the link between water and energy resources, as well as the contribution to the circular economy of international water stakeholders.
On the afternoon of August 31, this seminar will bring together customers and partners such as Nestle, Shell, McKinsey, municipal representatives, and stakeholders involved in the protection of water like the WWF.
The goal is to discuss the new prospects presented by the circular economy and share solutions that allow us to achieve more by using either less or better resources through a paradigm shift.
