Competition for Veolia_Environnement (VE) Competition Most markets for environmental services are very competitive and are characterized by increasing technological challenges arising from changes in regulations, as well as the presence of experienced competitors. Competition in each of the markets we serve is primarily based on the quality of the products and services provided, and the supplier’s reliability, customer service, financial strength, technology, price, reputation and experience in providing services. Additional considerations include the ability to adapt to changing legal and regulatory environments, as well as the ability to manage employees accustomed to working for governmental authorities or non-outsourced divisions of industrial or commercial enterprises. In the particular area of provision of environmental services to industrial clients, Suez Environnement provides a range of services including energy, water and waste management. It is important to note that our major competitor is often the client itself.
