Boston, MA Veolia, the leading provider of environmental solutions in the U.S. and Canada, celebrated its ongoing commitment to the city with the grand opening and unveiling of a new North America headquarters in the city’s Financial District.
Located on the third floor of the widely recognized First National Bank Building at 100 Federal St., Veolia’s new office suite will have space for 150 employees, and will serve to deepen the company’s commitment not only to the city but also to the state of Massachusetts and across New England, where the company employs hundreds of people at dozens of locations.
The company is moving from its former headquarters at 53 State St., which Veolia opened nine years ago and is located less than a half-mile from the new office. The move to Federal St. affirms the ability of Veolia employees to work collaboratively in a “smart” design environment meant to foster greater personal interaction and engagement, with an emphasis on environmental sustainability and “green” functionality consistent with Veolia’s global GreenUp strategy for growth and innovation.
Designed with collaboration in mind, the new space offers a mix of individual workspaces, meeting areas and social gathering opportunities to ensure it meets all the needs of a modern workforce while maximizing team comfort.
“Boston represents an ideal fit for the needs of Veolia as we continue to grow by meeting the environmental challenges of our customers,” said Bob Cappadona, president and CEO of Veolia’s environmental solutions and services business. “Like Veolia, Boston is grounded in a rich history while also serving as a springboard for intellectual and engineering innovations that set forth a vision for the future. Over the past decade, we have been proud to work closely with the city and the Greater Boston region to bring cutting-edge solutions in water, waste and energy management to communities and industries and other customers, protecting our environment and growing our economy. This new office location will allow us to engage with, attract and retain talent by tapping into a robust workforce centered in Boston, and to establish ourselves as an employer of choice as we continue to grow in the region as part of our GreenUp strategy.”
At a grand opening ceremony on June 26, Cappadona and other Veolia leaders gathered with employees to tour the new office space and celebrate the company’s new chapter.
Across New England, Veolia operates water and wastewater treatment systems for communities in all six states while offering energy efficiency programs to decarbonize buildings in Boston and Cambridge.
Veolia also provides advanced hazardous waste management services for the region’s biotech sector through its long-time partnership with MassBio, the nation’s largest consortium of biopharma and life sciences companies. Expanding its hazardous waste management footprint in Massachusetts, Veolia recently acquired New England Disposal Technologies and New England MedWaste. With these acquisitions, Veolia now operates the state’s only permitted medical waste disposal facility, as well as two of the state’s three permitted household hazardous waste disposal sites.
