Each site where Veolia Water operates in Australia and New Zealand supports a local not for profit organisation or local community event. Each was chosen by the local Veolia Water teams about what was important to them in their community.
Each charity or event delivers broad social or environmental benefits. Many of these have a clear link to water, however some were chosen purely due to employee interest and participation.
