At the end of the month, SUEZ ENVIRONNEMENT will be present in Rio. Rio+20 is dominated by two key themes:

- The green economy as part of sustainable development and poverty eradication,
- International governance of sustainable development

There are two ways for a group such as SUEZ ENVIRONNEMENT, part of the GDF SUEZ group, to approach an event as symbolic and as complex as the Rio + 20 Conference: either as a contributor who brings and seeks to share its good practices by showcasing its achievements and innovations, or as a player responding to the international community’s invitation and agreeing to take part in the discussion based on a long-term vision of its business and its impact on global challenges. We have chosen to be both player and contributor.
