Blue Gold, nine goals, nine episodes to discover inspiring real-life stories that show the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in action.
The 17 SDGs were established in 2015 by the United Nations to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity. At Veolia Water Technologies we are a major contributor to 11 of the 17 SDGs and we will continue to contribute to all SDGs wherever water is concerned. We can’t tell you we contribute to the 11 of the 17 SDGs by only talking about technologies, pipes, etc., because the SDGs are also, and above all, a human journey.
And so, Blue Gold captures the true stories of our employees, our partners and our customers who are working together to preserve water, an increasingly scarce resource, to help eliminate poverty, provide sustainable cities and communities for future generations and fight climate change.
Each story is told by a real person who works every day to protect our global water resources, such as a newly hired Canadian engineer and their first mission to decontaminate mine water, to the mobilization of a Spanish-English speaking team to supply drinking water to an entire city after a category five hurricane.
