Water security is emerging as one of the defining investment themes of the coming years. Against this backdrop, the European Investment Bank (EIB) hosted a roundtable last week in Luxembourg on water financing models.   Our discussions reinforced a core conviction: water resilience depends not only on technical infrastructure but equally on how we collectively finance and govern water resources. If we fail to act, water insecurity could reduce global GDP by more than 8% by 2050. In Europe, the European Central Bank estimates almost 15% of economic output is at risk due to water scarcity.   The current economic model for water reduces the financial capacity of operators to self-finance the investments needed for the modernization and expansion of infrastructure. Building resilient systems requires robust economic models that blend public resources, private capital and innovative instruments. It’s the only way to close the investment gap and scale up action. It echoes SUEZ's daily reality: designing, building and operating essential infrastructure that serve communities over the long term.    I thank the EIB and the EIB Institute for hosting this initiative, alongside Edouard Perard, PhD, Thierry Déau, Luca Perez, Trine Christiansen, AquaFed, Dominique G. and other attendees for their valuable insights.

Shaping a Sustainable Future, Together In this second video dedicated to our Three-Year Sustainability Plan, we dive into the core themes of our commitment: ESG governance, responsible innovation, people development, and impact assessment. Our approach mirrors the structure of a financial plan — with clear goals, KPIs, allocated resources, and risk management — combining economic strategy with environmental and social value. Sustainability for us goes beyond technology: it means concrete care for communities, responsible material choices, and respect for the territories we work in. We also believe in the power of employee well-being, continuous learning, and collective storytelling to foster inclusion and belonging across the organization. All of this works toward a single goal: building a model where environmental sustainability, economic value, and social impact are fully integrated into one measurable and coherent vision. #Sustainability #ESG #ImpactDriven #ResponsibleInnovation #PeopleAndPlanet #SustainableBusiness #CorporateResponsibility

Ten years ago, the ACT Accelerate Climate Transition - ADEME was created by ADEME and launched at #COP21 with CDP. Today, as a proud host of the ACT Initiative, the World Benchmarking Alliance celebrates a decade of research and collective commitment to advancing corporate climate transition plans. Vicky Sins, Climate Transformation Lead at the World Benchmarking Alliance says: “The ACT Initiative has been a catalyst for transparency and accountability in corporate climate action. As we mark 10 years, we remain committed to driving meaningful change through robust assessments and collaboration.” Baptiste Perrissin Fabert, General Manager at ADEME says: “ADEME is proud to have co-founded the ACT Initiative, which has become a cornerstone for guiding corporate climate strategies. ACT’s success comes from its strong foundation in the economic and managerial realities of businesses, offering science-based methodologies to help them align their transition plans with the goals of the Paris Agreement. This 10-year journey reflects our shared dedication to climate action.” Using the new ACT Core Methodology, we are currently assessing 2,000 companies on the credibility and integrity of their transition plans. Keep an eye out for early insights just before #COP30, and the full results in January 2026.   #ACTInitiative #ClimateTransition #ClimateAction

🌱 Investing in nature-based solutions is a smart way to fund resilience, not disasters. Research conducted at the Université Grenoble Alpes shows that investing in a range of nature-based solutions to reduce disaster risks can offer returns on investment of 2.8:1 – as well as providing benefits to the environment and the well-being of communities. Funding nature-based solutions can boost disaster resilience, foster environmental sustainability, and pay back economic returns. 💰 🌐 On International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction – 13 October – we are calling on public and provide sector investors to fund resilience, not disasters. Because resilience pays. Learn how ➡️ https://ow.ly/JNol50X8yGa #ResiliencePays #DRRday

When partnerships power climate solutions, waste becomes energy. 🤝🇮🇹    On the island of Djerba, Tunisia, organic waste from households and hotels will soon be transformed into renewable biomethane, reducing pollution, cutting emissions, and creating new green jobs.   The pilot is led by UNDP Tunisia, Agence Nationale pour la Maîtrise de l'Energie ANME together with Agence Nationale de Gestion des Déchets (ANGED), and is made possible through the strong support of Ministero dell'Ambiente e della Sicurezza Energetica (MASE/MEES) via UNDP’s PISTA, alongside Japan - The Government of Japan.   More than a facility, the Djerba project is a living example of how international cooperation delivers on the commitments made at TICAD9, showing that when countries join forces, local communities benefit and climate action moves forward. https://lnkd.in/gFzsUh-G
