Veolia has launched a new global offering to “revolutionise” the future of the data centre industry.
Data Center Resource 360 has been designed to address the critical environmental and operational challenges facing the rapidly expanding digital infrastructure sector, while supporting the resilience of communities and responding to their critical resource needs. The offer places a particular emphasis on their integration and acceptability into local ecosystems, at a time when environmental security is emerging as a key strategic priority.
The global data centre market is experiencing exponential growth, with facility numbers and overall capacity projected to expand by approximately 11 per cent per year through 2034. Yet nearly half of all planned or under-construction facilities could face potential permitting delays or restrictions, driven primarily by concerns around water consumption, local resource constraints, and energy consumption.
In this context, the market for integrated data centre solutions addressing these challenges is growing rapidly and is currently valued globally at around USD $5 billion per year by 2030.
Already active alongside the 10 leading global data centre operators worldwide on over 100 facilities, Veolia has a unique understanding of their needs, combined with strong international expertise and a portfolio of proprietary technologies in water, waste and energy management, enabling it to design the most relevant offering on the market.
Veolia says its next-generation, all-in-one offering is designed to be rapidly deployed to moving data centres into carbon-neutral, water-positive, circular hubs (with up to +20 per cent energy reuse, −75 per cent water footprint, and up to 95 per cent waste recycling and reuse), powering resilient, high-performance, and truly sustainable future digital infrastructure, while contributing to the long-term environmental security and resilience of territories.
Estelle Brachlianoff, CEO of Veolia said: “This next-generation offering is designed to support the growth of the strategic digital infrastructure that shapes today’s world. We are proud to be the first and only company delivering a truly global, integrated and circular solution for data centres. This is a strategic market, at the crossroads of the digital and ecological revolutions. At a time when environmental security has become a geostrategic issue, and access to key resources such as water and energy is increasingly critical, helping operators make data centres more resource-efficient, resilient and connected to their communities is essential. We can help turn these infrastructures into true allies of local communities, delivering environmental value with digital performance. This offer is fully aligned with our GreenUp strategic plan, which aims to accelerate the ecological transformation across all sectors by offering concrete, scalable and high-impact solutions.”
Veolia’s strategic and priority growth markets include the United States and Europe (Germany, United Kingdom, France), where data centre development is accelerating and environmental expectations are the highest in the world.
Data Center Resource 360 was unveiled at Veolia’s quarterly Thema, which took place yesterday, in London.
FMJ and Watco Webinar: Meeting compliance in a new culture of accountability
From January 2026, the Building Safety Regulator (BSR) formally separated from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). Created under the Building Safety Act 2022 in response to the Grenfell Tower tragedy, the BSR is designed to raise safety standards across the built environment and introduce a stronger culture of accountability, transparency, and proactive risk management.
This shift places facilities managers in a more strategic safety assurance role – far beyond routine maintenance.
FMJ and Watco are hosting a webinar on 22 April at 11:00am to explore what this new regulatory landscape means for FMs. To register for the webinar click here.
