Recycling and waste management company
Veolia
Environmental Services has implemented a carbon management solution as part
of its carbon reduction commitment (CRC) strategy.

The company is using a product from sustainability software provider
CloudApps called Carbon, and Veolia has said that the comprehensive analytics
contained in the solution will allow it to target cost savings and set carbon
budgets across its UK business.

The company plumped for CloudApps following a comprehensive review of how
Veolia could effectively measure its carbon footprint.

?Monitoring and managing our carbon footprint is an integral part of our
corporate responsibility strategy,? said Simone Looi, environmental manager at
Veolia Environmental Services.

?We believe CloudApps can help position us as the leader in carbon management
across the waste sector.?

Meanwhile, Veolia Water is currently reviewing its IT support services. This
is part of an ongoing transformation programme.

There has been some speculation within the industry that the company will
outsource its IT to Indian outsourcer Tata Consultancy Services (TCS). However,
Veolia Water insists that no decision has been made and that the review is
ongoing and is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
