Veolia announced that it won over GBP 1 billion of new and extended local authority contracts in the United Kingdom in 2025. Through these contracts Veolia will deliver a wide and adaptable range of solutions to support local authorities in their challenges of resource preservation, decarbonisation, public health and strategic autonomy. Between 2020 and 2025, Veolia UK's municipal services division grew by 35% as the organisation brought onboard more customers and new, innovative services to existing customers.
This growth was driven by 11 new or extended contracts with local authorities, including a long-term integrated waste management contract with the London Borough of Bromley, serving over 330,000 residents and by collection and street cleansing operations delivered on behalf of Sutton, Kingston, Croydon, Merton, and East and Northertfordshire councils (over 1.2 million residents). Veolia also pursues investment and innovation opportunities to support local authorities and the wider UK economy. Over the past ten years, the group has invested GBP 1 billion in recycling and waste infrastructure.
Forexample, it will soon open the UK's biggest plastics recycling project following a GBP 70 million investment in the country's first "tray to tray" closed loop PET recycling facility in Shropshire. The Group also continuously innovates to provide electrification services, for example through a world-first vehicle-to-grid (V2G) project with Westminster City Council that demonstrates how waste collection trucks can power UK homes by feeding back stored energy from their batteries to the grid. In addition to decarbonisation efforts, Veolia also supports its local authority contracts with social value initiatives, with more than GBP 25 million of social value generated in 2025, through activities ranging from local employment and supply chain spend to donations and education activities.
