戰略規劃
蘇伊士加大投資力度
鞏固其作為領先的水務和固廢管理企業之地位
Ø 蘇伊士集團日前發布了2027年戰略規劃。
Ø 集團將聚焦于主營業務,即水務和固廢,并壯大其國際化布局。
Ø 集團將攜手客戶,通過創新和投資,為全體股東方創造價值。
Ø 集團的目標是實現4%至5%的年均營收增長,并使息稅折舊及攤銷前利潤(EBITDA)年均增長速度超過營收的年均增長速度。
Ø 面對新的環境和能源挑戰,集團將攜手客戶一道,在上一個規劃期的基礎上,追加逾8.6億歐元的投資,并追加50%以上的研發預算。
Ø 收購原蘇伊士英國固廢與資源管理公司*是集團業務向前推進的重要戰略舉措,亦鞏固了其作為固廢市場全球化參與者的地位。
Ø 此次收購后,集團的營收規模將達到90億歐元,員工數量將增至44000名。
Ø 今日宣布在印度新建的污水處理廠項目刷新了合同金額記錄。這是蘇伊士集團在該國簽署建設的最大型的污水處理廠項目,表明集團有志于謀求在新興區域的發展。
自2022年初以來,新蘇伊士集團已成功展示了其發展的韌性及發展的后勁:在股東方法國投資基金Meridiam、私募股權公司GIP、法國存托銀行CDG和法國國家人壽保險公司的大力支持下,蘇伊士集團開展了幾項具有戰略意義的并購,以鞏固其在關鍵市場和業務條線中的地位,如法國的IWS(專注于工業廢棄物和危廢處理)、南非的EnviroServ(固廢管理)和蘇伊士英國固廢與資源管理公司(固廢回收和循環利用)。
今日,蘇伊士集團發布2027年戰略規劃,立志在水務和固廢領域提供循環解決方案,成為客戶值得信賴的合作伙伴。
在該戰略規劃的指引下,蘇伊士集團將通過經實踐檢驗的解決方案,實現以價值創造為中心的發展,并增強創新和投資能力,助力集團的客戶應對日益增長的環境挑戰。
集團的戰略規劃基于三大支柱:
一、聚焦集團的主營業務和重點市場
在業務構成方面,蘇伊士集團將專注于水務和固廢市場的業務。
在地理區域方面,集團將在某些尤為活躍的市場(如英國、意大利、中國、印度、澳大利亞、中東及非洲)謀求發展,一方面在成熟市場聚焦創新,另一方面在新興市場實現強勁增長,讓集團的業務構成更趨平衡。集團的目標是到2027 年,將有約四成的營收來自于國際市場。
收購原蘇伊士英國固廢與資源管理公司*(該公司已在英國奠定了作為第三大固廢回收和能源轉化公司之地位)將有助于蘇伊士集團鞏固其在新固廢回收工藝方面的領先地位,并形成更廣地理覆蓋的全球化業務布局。這將是集團八個月以來的第三宗,亦是規模最大的一宗收購。
二、投資和創新于讓集團與眾不同的解決方案
蘇伊士集團力求通過其在基礎設施建設方面積累的獨特專業知識,以及在創新、數字技術和客戶體驗方面獲得公認的領導地位來實現差異化發展。
集團將加強創新和研發,開發新的解決方案,以保護水資源、治理污染物、回收固廢和利用廢轉能技術生產綠色能源,并減少客戶的碳足跡。集團計劃追加50%的研發預算。
最后,集團將不斷完善其領先的互聯解決方案(如應用 “Aquadvanced”技術管理廠房、管網,智能水表等項目),持續投資于數字技術以及在保護日益稀缺的資源方面能發揮關鍵作用的技術(如檢測供水管網漏損、提高用戶節能意識等)。集團的目標是在五年內將上述業務的營收翻一番。
為了實現與客戶協同投資的雄心壯志,以此應對新的環境和能源挑戰,集團將在上一個規劃期的基礎上,追加8.6億歐元的投資。
三、為集團的所有利益相關方創造價值
蘇伊士集團立志通過其戰略為所有利益相關方創造價值:
- 對集團的股東方而言,蘇伊士集團的戰略旨在實現快于營收增長的盈利增長。
- 對集團的員工而言,蘇伊士集團開展的業務均遵循經確認的持股政策。按照股東方承諾在未來五到七年內將員工持股比例提高至10%的目標,蘇伊士集團推出了一項員工持股計劃。集團確立了員工持股比例自2022年從3%起不斷提高的目標。在適當的條件下,三名代表員工的董事(一名為員工股東代表,兩名為員工代表)將擔任集團董事會的董事。
- 此外,集團重申其對社會的承諾。首先,集團將推動包容性舉措,尤其是由集團下屬從事社會包容性工作的子公司Rebond實施的一些舉措。Rebond公司在2022年剛剛迎來了成立二十周年的重要時刻。公司開展的業務已惠及10500名受益人,其中70%已找到穩定的工作或取得了公認的資質。其次,蘇伊士集團致力于投入技能和能力的開發。集團還重申了對蘇伊士基金會的支持。該基金會擁有近300萬歐元的年度預算,用于在新興及發展中國家支持獲得基礎性服務(水務、環衛和固廢)的項目和在法國的社會包容性項目。最后,蘇伊士集團與FDJ女子自行車隊的合作證明了集團致力于促進多元和平等的機會。
作為其戰略的組成部分,集團還將致力于維持其在可持續發展方面的領導地位。蘇伊士集團將于2022年底前發布可持續發展路線圖,以勾勒出其在氣候變化、自然保護和社會事務等領域力求做出的貢獻和擬實現的雄心和量化目標。
總體而言,從財務角度考量,該戰略的實施將帶來4%至5%之間的年平均營收增長,而息稅折舊及攤銷前利潤(EBITDA)年均增長速度將超過其營收的年均增長速度。
集團將以一個全新的、更簡化和更敏捷的姿態和以客戶為中心的組織架構,將上述戰略規劃付諸實施。所有戰略部署都將緊緊圍繞集團的兩項主營業務:水務和固廢。集團新的組織架構將基于鼓勵創業和團隊賦能的文化,并將推動實現商業和運營的卓越發展。
集團的戰略規劃深深植根于其對社會貢獻所懷有的愿景,并體現在其興業之本中。 蘇伊士集團堅信:通過其水務和固廢業務的開展,集團將可日復一日,發揮重要作用,在其業務所到之處改善民生福祉。集團的興業之本由集團與其利益相關方、員工、客戶及合作伙伴共同提煉而成。集團致力于將其轉化為統籌所有業務活動的具體化、可衡量的目標。集團擬于2023年上半年舉行的年度股東大會征得股東批準,將集團的興業之本寫入公司章程。
我們的興業之本 面對日益嚴峻的環境挑戰,160多年來,日復一日,我們一如既往地支持著我們的客戶及合作伙伴,提供必要的基礎服務,保障并提升我們業務所到之處的民生福祉。 我們滿懷工作熱情,以包容文化和團隊精神為凝聚,銳意創新。我們致力于節約水資源,變固廢為寶貴的能源和再生材料。我們推行并落實負責任的行為、更有效的技術和可循環的解決方案,以回收并最大限度地利用有限的地球資源。 我們深深扎根于所服務的社區,致力于為人類和地球提供發展所需的資源,共創美好未來。

在闡述集團戰略規劃時,蘇伊士集團董事會主席兼首席執行官蘇冰嵐(Sabrina Soussan)表示:“水務和固廢市場面臨著歷史性的挑戰,以緊迫的環境威脅和能源領域的范式轉變為特征。我的目標是讓蘇伊士集團成為值得信賴的合作伙伴,為客戶提供水務和固廢的循環處理解決方案。如今,蘇伊士集團已為實現這一目標設定了明確的方向:我們將推出一項雄心勃勃的可持續增長戰略,依托前所未有的投資能力,并追加50%的研發投入,力求到2027年實現4%至5%的年均營收增長。對原蘇伊士英國固廢與資源管理公司的收購完全符合這一戰略。在印度中標的污水處理項目則是集團在該國贏得的迄今為止金額最高的污水處理合同,這也反映了集團正積極朝著業務更加多元化、地域分布更加均衡的方向邁進。憑借我們的歷史積淀、我們團隊的專業知識和工作熱情,以及我們股東方的堅定支持,我們滿懷信心和決心地邁入蘇伊士集團發展的新階段。”

STRATEGIC PLAN
SUEZ doubles its investments
to consolidate its position as a leading player in water and waste management
Ø SUEZ has unveiled today its strategic plan for 2027
Ø The Group will focus on its core businesses, i.e. water and waste and develop its international footprint
Ø The Group will create values for all its shareholders through innovation and investments alongside its clients
Ø The Group targets annual average growth in revenue of between 4% and 5% as well as average annual growth in EBITDA in excess of that of its revenue
Ø Faced with new environmental and energy challenges, the Group will invest, alongside its clients, more than an additional €860 million compared to the previous period and will increase its research and development budget by more than 50%
Ø The acquisition of SUEZ R&R in the United Kingdom* is a major strategic step forward for the Group, consolidating its position as a global player in the waste market
Ø Following this acquisition, SUEZ's revenues will reach €9 billion and the Group will have 44,000 employees
Ø The record contract announced today for a new wastewater treatment plant in India, the largest ever signed by SUEZ in the country, illustrates the Group's ambition to grow in targeted, emerging geographies
Since the start of 2022, the new SUEZ Group has successfully demonstrated its resilience and its ability to pursue its development: bolstered by the support of its shareholders—Meridiam, GIP, Caisse des Dépôts and CNP Assurances—SUEZ has notably made several strategic acquisitions to strengthen its position in key markets and business lines: IWS in France (Industrial Waste Specialties, hazardous waste treatment), EnviroServ in South Africa (waste management), SUEZ R&R in the United Kingdom (waste recycling and recovery activities).
Today, SUEZ presents its strategic plan for 2027 with the ambition of becoming the trusted partner for circular solutions in water and waste.
The strategic plan provides for development centered on value creation through the contribution of proven solutions, increased innovation and strengthened investment capabilities to help SUEZ’s clients tackle growing environmental challenges.
The Group’s strategic plan is based on three pillars:
1. Focus on the Group's key activities and markets.
In terms of activities, the Group will therefore focus its presence on the businesses of the Water and Waste Markets.
In terms of geographies, the Group will pursue its development in certain markets that are particularly buoyant—United Kingdom, Italy, China, India, Australia, Middle East and Africa—thereby benefiting from a balanced exposure between mature markets focused on innovation and emerging markets with strong growth. By 2027, the Group aims at generating approximately 40% of its revenue in international markets.
The acquisition of the former SUEZ R&R activities in the United Kingdom*, the third largest player in the Waste Market which has successfully positioned itself in recycling and energy recovery, will strengthen SUEZ leadership in new methods of waste recovery and diversify its geographic footprint. This represents the Group’s third acquisition in eight months and the largest in size.
2. Invest and innovate in solutions that differentiate the Group.
SUEZ intends to differentiate through its unique expertise in infrastructure construction and recognized leadership in innovation, digital technology, and customer experience.
Innovation and R&D will be strengthened to develop new solutions for preserving water resources, combating pollutants, recycling, producing green energy from waste and reducing our customers’ carbon footprint. The Group will increase its dedicated research and development budget by 50%.
Lastly, on the strength of its leadership in connected solutions (“Aquadvanced” to manage plants and networks, smart meters, etc.), the Group will continue to invest in digital technology and technologies that play a key role in preserving increasingly scarce resources (detecting leaks in water networks, advising users on energy sobriety, etc.) with the goal of doubling its revenue from these activities in five years.
Committed to its ambition to invest alongside its customers, in an effort to address new environmental and energy challenges, the Group will invest an additional €860 million compared to the previous period.
3. Create value for all of the Group’s stakeholders.
Through its strategy, SUEZ seeks to create value for all of its stakeholders:
- With respect to shareholders, the SUEZ strategy aims at achieving growth in profitability in excess of growth in revenue.
- With respect to the Group’s employees, SUEZ conducts its activities as part of an affirmed shareholding policy. In line with the commitment made by the Group’s shareholders to have 10% of the capital held by employees within the next five to seven years, SUEZ launches an employee shareholding plan. The Group has set a target of 3% of its capital to be held by employees from 2022. Where appropriate, three directors representing employees (one representing employee shareholders, two representing employees) would sit on the Group's Board of Directors.
- In addition, the Group is renewing its societal commitments, first, through its inclusion initiatives, notably implemented by its social inclusion subsidiary, Rebond: the SUEZ subsidiary celebrates its twentieth anniversary in 2022, with a total of 10,500 beneficiaries, 70% of whom have found a stable job or obtained a recognized qualification. Second, SUEZ is committing to invest in developing skills and competences. The Group has also reaffirmed its support for Fondation SUEZ: with its annual budget of nearly €3 million, the foundation supports projects for access to essential services (water, sanitation and waste) in emerging and developing countries as well as social inclusion projects in France. Lastly, the partnership with the FDJ-SUEZ women’s cycling team testifies to the Group’s commitment to promote diversity and equal opportunities.
As part of its strategy, the Group also aims at maintaining its leadership in sustainable development. By the end of 2022, SUEZ will publish its sustainable development roadmap, outlining its contribution, ambitions and quantified targets for climate, nature conservation and social matters. 20% of Group executive long-term compensation will be linked to the achievement of environmental, social and governance criteria.
Overall, in financial terms, the implementation of this strategy will result in annual growth in revenue between 4% and 5% and annual growth in EBITDA in excess of that of revenue.
A new, simplified, more agile and customer-focused organization will put this plan into action. It will be structured around the Group’s two businesses, water and waste. This new organization will be based on a culture promoting entrepreneurship and team empowerment. It will also promote commercial and operational excellence.
The Group’s strategic plan is firmly rooted in a vision of its contribution to society, enshrined in its purpose. SUEZ is convinced that through its water and waste activities, it can play a vital role everywhere it operates in improving people’s quality of life on a day-to-day basis. Developed in collaboration with the Group's stakeholders, employees, customers and partners, the Group’s purpose will be translated into concrete and quantified targets for all of its activities. Incorporation into the company bylaws will be subject to approval by the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held in the first half of 2023.
Our purpose Faced with growing environmental challenges, each day, for more than 160 years, we have been acting in support of our clients and partners to deliver essential services that protect and improve the quality of life wherever we operate.
United by passion for our work as well as inclusive culture and team spirit, we innovate to conserve water and create value from waste, in the form of energy and recycled materials. We promote and implement responsible behaviors, more efficient technologies and circular solutions to recycle and make the best possible of the finite resources of the Earth.
Deeply rooted in our communities, we are committed to providing people and the planet with the resources for à common future. |
At the presentation of the strategic plan, Sabrina Soussan, SUEZ Chair and CEO, commented: “The Water and Waste Markets face historic challenges, characterized by the environmental emergency and a paradigm shift in energy. My ambition is for SUEZ to become the trusted partner for circular solutions in water and waste. Today, SUEZ has set a clear direction to achieve this: an ambitious and sustainable growth strategy to generate an annual growth in revenue between 4% and 5% by 2027, based on unprecedented investment capabilities and an increase by 50% of our R&D efforts. The acquisition of SUEZ R&R in the United Kingdom is fully in line with this strategy. The award of the water treatment contract in India, which marks the largest signed to date by the Group in the country, also reflects our progress towards becoming a diversified and geographically balanced company. Strengthened by our history, the expertise and passion of our teams, and the unwavering support of our shareholders, we enter a new phase for SUEZ with confidence and determination.”
