Veolia ES Shifts From Reactive to Proactive EHS Compliance

With Dakota Software, Veolia moved beyond audit snapshots to build proactive facility-level compliance programs aligned with their corporate sustainability goals.

About Veolia

Veolia ES Technical Solutions is a global environmental services company providing hazardous and non-hazardous waste management services. With a long-standing commitment to environmental responsibility, Veolia needed more than compliance checkpoints — they needed a system that kept every facility operating proactively, every day.

The Challenge: Staying Ahead of Regulatory Changes

Veolia had been a Dakota customer since 2001, using Dakota’s audit tools to manage corporate audits and corrective actions. But audits are periodic snapshots. Between reviews, compliance tasks still needed to be assigned, tracked, and completed on time — and without a forward-looking structure in place, the program remained reactive.

Veolia needed to move from periodic review to continuous, proactive compliance management.

Why Veolia ES Chose Dakota Profiler

With years of regulatory audit data already in Dakota, transitioning to Profiler was straightforward. Using Profiler, Veolia built regulatory compliance profiles for each facility — incorporating regulatory content, activity monitoring, task documentation, and due date prompting to ensure nothing fell through the cracks between audit cycles. The result was a consistent framework for overseeing daily EHS activities across all locations, and a program that now aligns with ISO 14001 and supports Veolia’s Corporate Environment and Sustainability Policy of “People, Planet and Performance.”

The Results

Profiler gave Veolia’s environmental program the structure and consistency it needed to move from reactive to proactive. With facility-level compliance profiles in place, daily activities became easier to oversee and accountability no longer depended on the next audit cycle. Veolia’s program now goes beyond basic regulatory compliance, operating under ISO 14001 and supporting their corporate sustainability goals.

Dakota's proactive solutions have helped us remain committed to our corporate sustainability policy of "People, Planet and Performance.
