Paris, September 16, 2009. Veolia Environnement has confirmed its selection in the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI World) and Dow Jones STOXX Sustainability Index (DJSI STOXX), following the latest annual review of these indexes. Veolia Environnement’s sustainable development performance increased globally by two points in this assessment.

Since 2003, Veolia Environnement has been included regularly as a component of these indexes. This selection illustrates recognition of the Group’s performance and commitment in the field of sustainable development over the long term.

Every year, the Dow Jones Sustainability indexes analyse the corporate performance of sustainability leaders from each industry on a global level (DJSI World) and regional level (DJSI STOXX). The annual review of the DJSI family is based on a thorough analysis of economic, environmental and social performance, assessing issues such as corporate governance, risk management, climate change mitigation and labor practices.

In 2009, only 317 companies were selected for the DJSI World and 154 companies are apart of the European selection of the DJSI STOXX.
