Veolia is recognized for significant contributions providing Intel with waste management services deemed essential to Intel's success.

"Veolia has been an environmental services provider to Intel since 2000, supporting its environmental management program in six countries around the world.

The PQS award is part of Intel's Supplier Continuous Quality Improvement (SCQI) program that encourages suppliers to strive for excellence and continuous improvement. To qualify for PQS status, suppliers must score 80 percent on a report card that assesses performance and ability to meet cost, quality, availability, technology, environmental, social and governance goals. Suppliers must also achieve 80 percent or greater on a challenging improvement plan and demonstrate solid quality and business systems.
