Denis Chesseron, Country Director and CEO of Veolia North America in Canada, was recently featured in an in-depth interview discussing the company's achievements and future direction in the environmental services sector. Chesseron highlighted significant successes including new contracts for organic processing operations in Toronto and Montreal, and being selected as the operator for Metro Vancouver's waste-to-energy facility.
He outlined Veolia's ambitious GreenUp strategy focusing on decarbonization, resource regeneration, and pollution control. The interview also covered important insights on innovation adoption, alternative project delivery models, and workforce development initiatives in the environmental services sector.
In discussing the impacts of tariffs from the U.S. administration, Chesseron said, "In these uncertain times, it is important the environmental services sector can help Canadian governments and businesses to not only address their environmental challenges but also thrive. Simple and identical cross-country rules and regulations regarding interprovincial transport and disposal of waste, certification of labour and other such requirements of the environmental services industry would certainly help."
