Veolia Environmental Services is involved with various actors into many different supportive projects :

- The awareness to waste sorting and recycling with the ADEME, particularly during the French week-long reducing waste campaign (" Réduisons nos Déchets ") in November

- The support to conservation of the natural environment with the annual operation of collection and treatment of wrecks and nautical equipment of all kinds by the French sailing federation, the partnership with France Nature Environnement association during the French reducing waste campaign in November, the cleanup in Antarctica or the cleaning of Dhaulagiri, seventh higher summit in the world

Coastal areas as well as the shores of rivers and lakes are at risk. People must be made to realize the importance of protecting these vulnerable eco-systems. One way is to teach those who enjoy recreational water sports about preserving marine, fluvial and lacustrine ecosystems. 

Veolia Environmental Services began working with the French sailing federation (FFV) in the 2003 sailing season to develop programs to teach French sailing school (EFV) students about the marine environment and its complexity.

Each summer since then, Veolia Environmental Services and FFV have launched an environmental awareness campaign targeting the 420,000 vacationers enrolled at the 478 French sailing schools. The slogan is:"Je fais de la voile, j’aime la mer, je la respecte®".

In 2005 and 2006, Veolia Environmental Services also supported efforts to preserve the marine environment. More than 86 tons of non-reusable, non-recyclable materials (sailboards, the hulls of light sailing craft, life jackets, etc.) were picked up and processed during a major clean-up and site restoration initiative at water sports centers. In some cases, these end-of-life materials had been taking up space at French sailing schools for more than ten years!
