The Suez - Water Technologies & Solutions Story
From the inauguration of the Suez Canal through the revolutions of hygiene and public health, to urban comfort, their solutions, and technologies have accompanied cities and industries to meet the challenges of urban and demographic growth. Almost 160 years after the opening of the Suez Canal, a conquering spirit continues to motivate SUEZ employees to preserve the essential elements of the environment, water, soil, and air.
1869: the trade revolution
As soon as the SUEZ canal opens, it revolutionizes world trade. This marks the beginning of the Group’s industrial success and the birth of its name, a synonym for audacity, ambition, and innovation.
1880: the hygiene and public health revolution
The industrial revolution leads to the rapid development of cities. To protect people’s hygiene and health, water and sanitation networks are built over great distances, providing access to drinking water and wastewater treatment. A modern waste collection system is also invented.
1945: the urban comfort revolution
After the Second World War, as big cities and suburbs grow, inhabitants’ needs increase, calling for a constant supply of clean water to meet growing requirements and collection and treatment of increasing waste quantities.
1990 – Today
At the dawn of the 21st century, a new chapter begins at the Rio Earth Summit. World leaders make the protection of the earth a priority. In an exponentially growing world, cities and industries are seeking new solutions to face resource scarcity and climate change.
In 2022, driven by a passion for the environment, their 35,000* employees on all five continents are committed to inventing radical new solutions to preserve and restore the fundamental elements of the environment: water, soil, and air.

As part of an initiative to address the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, SUEZ’s Water Technology & Solutions (WTS) has earmarked approximately $1 million to support communities in which it operates. With funding going to the Red Cross and Red Crescent, WorldServe International, Water for People, United Way, and Feeding America, these organizations will be able to assist communities around the world whose citizens are struggling during these trying times.
“The people impacted by the coronavirus are our family, our neighbors, and our friends,” said Yuvbir Singh, CEO for SUEZ – Water Technologies & Solutions. “These charitable contributions underscore our commitment to the communities in which we live and work, and are tailored to support those organizations on the frontlines working to improve health and provide for those in need.”
The $1 million earmarked for relief efforts includes previously announced contributions to United Way and Feeding America, as well as additional contributions to international NGOs and charities:
“The threat the virus poses to the health and well-being of our society necessitates action,” Singh said. “I am proud to represent a company from the water industry that is able to support communities in need on a global scale during this critical period.”
