Veolia has received the top ranking in an annual listing of the largest U.S. environmental services companies compiled by Engineering News Record (ENR).
The ranking is according to reported revenue. Veolia emerged as number one in the publications annual list of the “Top 200 Environmental Firms” in the U.S. in numerous markets including:
- Hazardous Waste Management
