OUR SHAREHOLDERS
Relations shaped by trust
All Veolia Environnement shareholders, individual and institutional alike, can rapidly gain access to precise
and regular information about the company. To meet their expectations and enhance the quality of its
dialogue with shareholders, Veolia Environnement proposes a series of resources: a purpose-designed Web
site, quarterly newsletters, the guide for individual shareholders, an annual conference on a specifi c
theme, meetings, conference calls and roadshows.
Simple, clear information
In 2007, around 8% of Veolia
Environnement’s share capital was held
by 225,000 individual shareholders, with
employee shareholders holding 1.6%.
Reaching out to these shareholders,
Veolia Environnement held briefi ngs
for them in Lille and Nice and took part
in the Actionaria investors’ event in Paris.
The Shareholders’ Consultative
Committee was set up in April 2003
to forge stronger links between the
company and its individual shareholders.
The committee consists of 11 unpaid
members, two of whom represent
employee shareholders, and works on
improving communications. It met fi ve
times in 2007, and worked on preparing
the Annual Shareholders Meeting
as well as on creating and approving
communication tools for individual
shareholders.

A proactive Shareholders’ Club
The Shareholders’ Newsletter provides
regular information for the 25,000
members of the Shareholders’ Club.
In addition to fi nancial results,
it presents the company’s strategy,

The company publishes the Shareholder’s
Guide every year. For the past four years,
in partnership with the Institut Veolia
Environnement, the Shareholders’ Club
has held an annual conference
on environmental issues.
In 2007, 360 Club members met to talk
about The environment: friend or enemy
of our health? This conference gave
shareholders an opportunity to get to
know better the company’s approach
and its achievements in these crucial
fi elds, which are at the core of its
business.
Meetings with the fi nancial community
In 2007, Veolia Environnement improved
the information it provides to the
fi nancial community. In addition to
regular meetings and conference calls

and interim fi nancial statements,
the Investor Relations Department
individually met many fi nancial analysts
and investors.
Veolia Environnement’s senior
executives presented the company,
its strategy, prospects and business
development model in roadshows
in the main European fi nancial centers
(Paris, London, Frankfurt, Stockholm,
Edinburgh, Geneva, etc.) as well
as in North America (New York, Boston,
Toronto and Montreal).
