## **At Veolia, we believe that cost savings & sustainability can go hand in hand. How?** Thanks to the smart control of the electric units, we can enable you to benefit from low prices in the electricity markets when renewable generation is high. The result? Lower emissions, cost savings and and uncompromised quality. **Veolia, thanks to its Flexcity offer, already helps 16 companies in the Food and Beverage sector.** [Let's talk ](/en/contact-us) ![Graphic element](/sites/g/files/dvc3216/files/styles/crop_freeform/public/image/2026/08/codant-veolia-center-blue-color.png.webp?itok=tJYPHIJ4) ## **Major challenges** **Facing the food industry** **The food industry is characterized by a wide diversity of processes, many requiring heat in the form of hot air, water and steam.** Most of these processes today are supplied by fossil fuels, but the volatility of gas price and decarbonization targets are challenging the existing model. Our software integrates your heating units, utility demand and decarbonization targets to minimize the cost of your heat generation at any time.
