Veolia China, a regional headquarters of the French multinational Veolia Group, which provides solutions in water, waste and energy management, has raised its registered capital to 2.81 billion yuan ($391.16 million).

This marks its third capital injection this year, a 73 percent rise since the beginning of 2025.

The move follows growth in contracted foreign investment of 770 million yuan in 2023 and 150 million yuan in 2024, underscoring Veolia's confidence in the Chinese market.

Founded on May 14, 2003, Veolia China supports clients across the Asia-Pacific region with services such as data management, marketing management, and technical support.

Aligned with China's green and low-carbon development agenda, Veolia China has been actively investing in renewable energy, the circular economy, and energy efficiency projects, aiming to drive the digital transformation of traditional environmental industries. In 2024, its operations helped avoid over 496,000 tons of carbon emissions, showcasing its commitment to addressing climate change.

The latest capital increase and operational success reflects Shanghai's improving business environment, highlighting the company's shift from an investor to an ecological co-builder.

In March, Veolia China was certified as a regional headquarters of a multinational by the Shanghai Municipal People's Government. This certification will assist it in using China's foreign investment support policies more effectively and fostering an open, collaborative business ecosystem with stakeholders.

On May 22, Veolia China was included in the 2025 Fortune China ESG Impact List for its exemplary environmental, social, and governance practices.

Looking ahead, the company plans to deepen its focus on decarbonization, resource regeneration, and pollution elimination, working alongside communities to create a more sustainable and harmonious future.
