蘇伊士隨法國總統商務代表團訪問中國
與中國合作伙伴簽署新合同以支持中國的生態(tài)轉型
4月5日-7日，蘇伊士集團獲邀成為馬克龍訪華商務代表團成員之一，陪同法國總統對中國進行訪問。此次訪問將進一步加強法中兩國之間的關系，為兩國之間的合作創(chuàng)造更多機會。在訪問期間，蘇伊士與中國合作伙伴萬華化學集團和中鐵上海工程局集團，在兩國部長的見證下，在北京人民大會堂正式簽訂海水淡化合作項目，進一步擴大三方在環(huán)保領域的合作。
在法國總統馬克龍訪華期間，蘇伊士董事長兼首席執(zhí)行官蘇冰嵐出席了在中國人民大會舉辦的中法企業(yè)家委員會，并分享了蘇伊士在水務和固廢資源管理方面, 如何利用數字化幫助中國客戶提升運營管理和服務質量成功經驗。
蘇伊士集團董事長兼首席執(zhí)行官蘇冰嵐表示：“法國總統馬克龍訪華是加強法中兩國在環(huán)保領域合作的絕佳機會，我們感到非常振奮。作為最早進入中國市場的全球環(huán)保企業(yè)之一，蘇伊士在中國有著悠久的歷史和深厚的根基。我們已成為客戶和行業(yè)的首選合作伙伴，與中國30多個主要城巿和地區(qū)的市政和工業(yè)客戶建立了長期穩(wěn)健的合作伙伴關系，共同為中國的基礎設施建設和環(huán)境服務行業(yè)的發(fā)展作出了貢獻。 “
“今天在兩國部長的見證下，蘇伊士正式與中國重要合作伙伴簽署新的合同。蘇伊士在過去的160年里提供必要的基礎服務，保障并提升我們業(yè)務所到之處的民生福祉。我期待著把我們與萬華和中鐵在山東的此次合作打造成中法環(huán)保合作的新典范，為兩國的生態(tài)轉型合作和中國的高質量發(fā)展作出更大貢獻。”
萬華化學集團董事長廖增太表示：“我非常高興看到我們與蘇伊士過去的合作取得了巨大成功。蘇伊士是一家非常出色的企業(yè)，他們的專業(yè)技術和卓越的服務，為萬華很多項目的成功和發(fā)展作出了優(yōu)秀的貢獻。我希望此次海水淡化項目能夠成為又一個標桿和‘燈塔’項目。”
中鐵上海工程局集團董事長王建營表示：“今天我為我們三方深化合作感到自豪，我們期待著和萬華一起，與蘇伊士繼續(xù)精誠合作、緊密合作、廣泛合作和長期合作，在基建、環(huán)保等多個領域上取得更多卓越成果。我們相信，通過合作，我們一定能夠為社會作出更大的貢獻。”
蘇伊士與全球化工品牌前25強企業(yè)萬華化學集團在2017年至2022年已在四個重要的水處理和污水處理項目上攜手合作。此次山東煙臺蓬萊海水淡化項目，蘇伊士將為其設計并建造一座日淡水產量為10萬噸的高工業(yè)標準反滲透海水脫鹽工廠。該項目將在各方長期的合作伙伴關系的基礎上，結合世界500強企業(yè)中鐵股份全資子公司中鐵上海工程局強大的建設能力，在節(jié)約稀缺的淡水資源的同時，提升當地水生態(tài)系統韌性，助力萬華及其工業(yè)合作伙伴實現生態(tài)轉型。
蘇伊士在海水淡化領域已擁有50年的豐富經驗，于澳大利亞建造了全球最大的反滲透海水淡化廠之一 —— 維多利亞海水淡化廠項目，而后繼續(xù)加快其在南半球領先的業(yè)務布局。此前，蘇伊士于2006年在珀斯開發(fā)的海水淡化項目每年為超過 200 萬人提供超過 450 億升潔凈的飲用水。在中國，山東煙臺蓬萊項目成為蘇伊士在全球最大的工業(yè)領域海水淡化項目，同時也是其在中國的首個海水淡化項目。這標志著蘇伊士在中國海水淡化市場的一次突破，也是其在中國發(fā)展邁出的新步伐。
此次合作不僅擴大了蘇伊士與萬華、中鐵的合作范圍，同時彰顯了三方在打造綠色產業(yè)生態(tài)體系和可持續(xù)發(fā)展方面的承諾，致力于共同推動中國的生態(tài)轉型。這也是蘇伊士和中國合作伙伴攜手協助中法兩國實現共同愿景的又一次重要體現。
蘇伊士在亞洲：
蘇伊士約70年前進入亞洲市場，起步于東南亞，繼而擴展至中國的發(fā)展也近50年。蘇伊士在亞洲擁有逾6500名員工，已建成600多座水廠和污水處理廠，向逾2500萬人提供水務和固廢資源管理服務，為18個工業(yè)園區(qū)提供環(huán)境服務。在中國，蘇伊士被公認為最具影響力的企業(yè)之一，也是引領亞洲環(huán)保行業(yè)的標桿。如今，蘇伊士與各地市政和工業(yè)客戶的合作項目遍布中國30多個主要城市和地區(qū)，在澳門運營中國水務行業(yè)的第一個PPP項目，在上海運營亞洲最大的危廢處理設施之一，在重慶的投資逾40億元人民幣。
在兩國部長的見證下，蘇伊士與中國合作伙伴萬華化學集團和中鐵上海工程局集團
正式簽訂海水淡化合作項目。

SUEZ Joins French President’s Business Delegation to China:
Launches New Contract with Local Partners to support China’s Ecological Transition
SUEZ was part of the French business delegation that accompanied President Emmanuel Macron on his state visit to China, from 5 to 7 April. This visit will further strengthen ties between France and China, creating more opportunities for collaboration between the two countries. During this visit, witnessed by Ministers of both countries, SUEZ and its Chinese partners, Wanhua Chemical Group (Wanhua) and China Railway Shanghai Engineering Bureau Group (CRSH), signed a cooperation agreement for a seawater desalination project that will further expand their cooperation in the environmental sector, at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.
“We’re greatly encouraged by President Macron’s visit to China, which is an excellent opportunity to strengthen environmental cooperation between France and China. As one of the first multinational environmental firms to enter the Chinese market 50 years ago, SUEZ has a long history and deep roots in China. We’ve proudly become a preferred partner for customers and industries here and have forged strong, long-term partnerships with municipal and industrial clients in more than 30 major cities and regions across the country. Together, we’ve contributed to the development of China’s infrastructure and environment services industry.”
“Today, in the presence of esteemed Ministers from both countries, SUEZ has officially signed a new and significant contract with our valued Chinese partners. SUEZ has been providing essential services to protect and enhance the well-being of people in all the regions we serve for over 160 years. I am thrilled to collaborate with Wanhua and CRSH on our Shandong project and to turn it into a new standard of excellence in Sino-French environmental cooperation. Our joint efforts are sure to boost bilateral cooperation in ecological transformation and advance China's high-quality development.” said Sabrina Soussan, Chairman and CEO of SUEZ.
LIAO Zengtai, Chairman of Wanhua Chemical Group, said,
“I am very encouraged by the remarkable success of our cooperation with SUEZ to date. SUEZ is a great company whose expertise and excellent services have contributed to the success and development of many Wanhua projects. I expect this desalination project to become another benchmark and ‘lighthouse’ project.”
WANG Jianying, Chairman of China Railway Shanghai Engineering Bureau Group, said,
“Today we are proud to see our tripartite cooperation deepen. Like Wanhua, we look forward to continuing our sincere, close, extensive and long-term partnership with SUEZ to achieve more outstanding results in areas such as infrastructure and environmental protection. We are confident that our cooperation will deliver greater benefits to society!”
SUEZ and Wanhua, which is a global top 25 chemical company, worked together on four major water and wastewater treatment projects from 2017 to 2022. For the new desalination project in Penglai District, Yantai City, Shandong Province, SUEZ will design and build, for Wanhua, a 100 MLD seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination plant with the highest industrial standards. The project builds on the partners’ proven track record of success and leverages the strong engineering construction capabilities of CRSH, a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Railway Company Limited. China Railway is a Fortune 500 company. While saving scarce freshwater resources, the project will increase the resilience of the local water ecosystem and enable Wanhua and its industrial partners to achieve ecological transformation.
SUEZ has 50 years of know-how in seawater desalination, having built one of the world’s largest SWRO desalination plant in Australia (Victorian Desalination Plant). It subsequently accelerated the pace of expansion and cemented its position as the category leader in the Southern Hemisphere, after the development in 2006 of the desalination plant in Perth providing more than 45 billion liters of clean drinking water to over two million people per year. In China, the Penglai project in Yantai, Shandong Province, is SUEZ’s largest seawater desalination project in the industrial sector worldwide and its first such project in China. This marks a breakthrough for SUEZ in the Chinese desalination market and a new step in its development strategy for China.
The new project broadens SUEZ’s scope of cooperation with Wanhua and CRSH and furthers the ambition of the three partners to build a green industrial ecosystem towards sustainable development. It also speaks to the parties’ commitment to working together to drive China’s ecological transformation and to contribute to the shared vision of France and China.
SUEZ in Asia
In Asia, SUEZ’s journey began some 70 years ago, first in Southeast Asia before expanding to China nearly 50 years ago. With 6,500+ employees across Asia, SUEZ has built 600+ water and wastewater plants in the region and provides water and waste services to 25+ million people and delivers environmental services to 18 industrial parks.

Today, SUEZ works with municipal and industrial customers in more than 30 major cities and regions across China, manages China’s first PPP water contract in Macao, operates one of Asia’s largest hazardous waste treatment facilities in Shanghai, and has invested over RMB 4 billion in Chongqing.
Witnessed by Ministers of both countries, SUEZ and its Chinese partners, Wanhua Chemical Group and China Railway Shanghai Engineering Bureau Group, signed a cooperation agreement for a seawater desalination project.
