PRESS RELEASE

Veolia Environnement confirms that it should exceed its revenue growth objective for 2008, initially expected at 10% growth. The continued strong level of organic growth and the acquisitions completed in 2007 and at the beginning of 2008 largely compensate for the unfavorable impact from the depreciation in most currencies versus the euro.

The Company generates more than one third of its revenue and operating income outside of the Euro zone, in particular in the United States, the United Kingdom and Asia. The level of the European currency against these other main currencies, should it remain unchanged over the rest of the year, is expected to reduce the contribution of the businesses in these regions as converted into euros in the range of EUR 80 million to EUR 100 million at the operating income level and EUR 120 million to EUR 140 million at the cash flow from operations level.

These operating metrics will also be impacted by the increase in prices for petroleum products, despite the recovery of the main portion of this cost with a delay through contractual indexation formulas.

Due to these impacts, the cash flow from operations at current exchange rates is expected to increase by around 6% as compared with 2007. Taking into account these economic impacts, the Company considers that its net income growth objective of 10% could be difficult to achieve in 2008, without, however impacting the growth and performance outlook in the medium-term.
