History
Suez have grown in the UK since 1988, previous under the name Sita.
In August 2020 Veolia launched a process to acquire/merge with Suez via the acquisition of the shares owned by Energie in Suez (representing 32% of the company for 3.4bn Euros). By September 2022 the Competition and Markets Authority had determined that the sale in the UK would be anti-competitive[2] and as a result it was announced that Suez would buy back its waste and recycling business in the UK[3] and in December 2022 Suez announced the completion of the acquisition from Veolia[4].
In 2017/18 the relative position of the top 5 waste companies[5], by turnover, was as follows:
| Company | Turnover million GBP |
|---|---|
| Veolia | 1,500 |
| Biffa | 1,077 |
| Suez | 798 |
| Viridor | 789 |
| FCC | 670 |
In December 2021 Suez issued their 'Triple Bottom Line' Report giving and overview of the business and its sustainability for 2020[6]. In September 2022 an investor presentation set out the turnover of the UK waste business as around £900m, and enterprise value of £2bn, 11m tonnes of waste managed a year and 6,000 staff[7].
